At the gateway to the holiday mecca that is Emu Point, screened from the road by a living wall of Peppermint Trees, and tucked away in an environment that time seems to have forgotten is this absolute gem.

As you mosey through and take it all in, there is something amazing that hits you, that this home is akin to a preserved museum of the 50′s, so trendily retro that, with just a few new fixtures, the textured surrounds are back in vogue once more! This really is a treat, starting from the bamboo wallpapered L shape entrance hall and frosted glass doorway.

Step through via a concertina door to the elongated lounge room, where earthy toned Damask wallpaper creates an interesting focal point and surrounds a big beefy front window overlooking the gardens. At the far end, a stacked stone fireplace takes centre stage, flanked by a wooden bench seat- a hearty place to curl up with a good book for the afternoon basking in the warmth of the fireplace.

Flow through into the kitchen, which is once again a picture of domestic bliss, surrounded by benches space and cupboards, with a central dining table space, and a built in nook which houses the upright gas oven and stove. Art deco wall paper mixes with glass front overheads which give a place to display the kitchen finery in full view. It really is a step back in time, where the family meal was the heart of the household, where the cry of “Honey, I’m Home” rung through the hallway of an evening.

A long promenade of a hallway introduces all of the remaining rooms at the rear of the home.There are three double sized bedrooms to choose from, each decorated with a quaint pastel tone and featuring large windows overlooking the rear tree shaded yard and wetlands that lie beyond.

There is a set of full wall robes in the master bedroom, which is an extra-large size and is clad with easy care lino flooring.

The hallway takes another bend, leading to a frosted glass outdoor access door and the spacious laundry with plenty of room for the washer/dryer and a deep freezer of so desired.

The homes bathroom is another retro chic piece of art, with its very own recessed dressing table at which you can sit and pamper yourself, a pedestal basin, and a toilet, with a large shower over bath and a pull across screen.

In all of this, you can see potential, either for a complete overhaul, or making the most of the preserved retro features to make them shine again, mixed with modern touches.

There is over 3.5 acres of grassed land that folds out from the house, with garden sheds and garages, plenty of space to potter. The area would be perfect for housing horses, or hobby stock such as chooks and ducks- to keep you stimulated in your twilight years, or create a dynamic country style family environment.

Above all there is the location, just a few minutes’ walk from the laid back bliss that the Emu Point area offers. The sandy feet, the cycle rides, fishing, eating ice-cream, catching up over a gourmet breakfast or coffee, taking a dip in the crystal waters, or just sitting and relaxing a while under the shade of a peppermint tree.

For holiday or for life- this home will have its moment in the sun.
