BEST & FINAL OFFER 23rd August Tuesday 6pm
If you like timber décor, hiking, wildlife, fresh air, scenic views and the idea of a semi enclosed outdoor spa bath while you watch the rosellas in the gumtrees and laugh along with the kookaburras, then this large solid brick one owner family home is ready for its next caretakers.
I love the history behind this home!! One of the first on the street to be built by the current owner in 1962, the street itself was only a dirt road at the time and had no name! Directions were given by saying ‘Turn left exactly one mile after the school’, and that is how people made their way to visit. The owner contacted Mitcham Council to say they deserved a street name, with the council basically responding by saying ‘give us some ideas’. And there it was, this owner came up with the name Pony Ridge Rd which the council then adopted!!
This home was originally built by the current owner, and since then has been lovingly cared for over the past 60 years, and has been a wonderful family home to bring up three children in. Alas, the children have all now grown up and moved out so it is time to downsize and give another family the opportunity to enjoy the many features of this beautiful home, including:
