Hidden away in the heart of Graceville lies a magical treasure of a home waiting to be discovered by a new family. Built in the early 1930′s as the original character home sitting on what was then four blocks of land and now on a large double corner block under a single title on a massive 916m2, this character home has a blend of Californian Bungalow and colonial architectural features which were very prominent in this era. Having been a dearly loved family home for over 30 years and only three owners in total, it is has a welcoming warmth that is hard to beat.
