This stunning 1930s home, bursting with Old World charm, combines character, convenience and a lovely touch of history. The house was built as an exhibition house in the City Park and was raffled at one shilling a ticket in the 1930s. The winner of the raffle sold the house to the Von Stiglitz family who moved it to the present site. The block the house was built on was once part of an extensive Chinese market garden.

Beyond the 6ft high front fence, lies a spacious family home featuring large rooms with beautiful leadlight bay windows, high ceilings, and original picture rails. Internal features include a large entrance hall and central foyer, a quiet study/office or optional fourth bedroom at the rear of the house, separate lounge and dining rooms, and lead lighting in the windows and doorways. With multiple living areas and a perfectly positioned veranda which floods with morning sun, the home is ideal for entertaining (both internally and externally).
