Every so often we, as realtors, walk into something that makes us pause and just absorb what we see and feel. A home with a mood, a harmony, an elegance. A home that invites you to stay and embrace the charming atmosphere that only a quintessentially 1960s classic bungalow style can provide. Sadly so rare now having been replaced by boring brick and tiles built to a budget.
We believe it was designed by an architect, we believe it was built in 1967, we believe it was profiled in House and Garden magazine; but what we actually know for certain…. we know it has a hard to define quality, just call it ‘class’ if you like.
So get your bee hive hairdo, gather up your Johnson Brothers ‘Summerfields’ plates, your ‘Old Bendigo Pottery’ jugs, your Elvis vinyls and all your 60′s memorabilia and recreate a better time here. The unique harmony of the home invites you to decorate accordingly. You will spend your weekends browsing country antique shops for pieces to honour this beauty.
This most simple design works on so many practical levels, allowing privacy or participation in equal measure, light and warmth when you want it; sea breeze and shade when you need it. Upstairs offers large open kitchen and living, two bedrooms, one bathroom and covered verandah. Down stairs a living room, one bedroom and ensuite, laundry and large patio. That’s all lovely but the covered outdoor living area is the entertaining heart of the property. Enjoy a window of view to the ocean and just the perfect space for entertaining with direct access to kitchen. There is room for 3 cars and you could even add a ramp to back of the garage for a campervan. How can a small home feel and work like a big home? It’s the architectural difference.
If you’re tired of the renovator, the run down, the home you really can’t make ‘special’, then come and visit this. It is an experience and it will never, ever become dated. In fact the more it ages the better it gets. Now can you really say that about all the homes you’ve seen till now? Chances are not everyone will get it, but when you see as many houses as we do, these ones just stand apart. Maybe you’re the buyer with the vision to see it. You won’t find another in Buderim
