There are homes that stand for decades, and then there are homes that tell a story. Built in 1954, 27 Stuart Street is a fine example of Post War craftsmanship in Eastern Heights and for the first time since it was built, it’s ready for its next chapter.
Originally home to a family of five, this four bedroom residence was constructed at a time when power had not yet reached the site. As a result, the hardwood frame was assembled using traditional mortise and tenon joinery – a hallmark of old-school craftsmanship that remains hidden within its walls to this day. The original hardwood chamfer board cladding can still be seen at the rear of the home, with the majority of the exterior now dressed in merino cream brick.
Inside, the home has evolved thoughtfully over the decades. The expansive rumpus room began life as a single car garage before being extended to its current generous size. The front sunroom, once an open verandah, was enclosed to create a welcoming retreat. Hand-crafted cornice work – fashioned on site – graces both the front main bedroom and the dining room, a detail that simply isn’t replicated today.
A open copper fireplace once stood – now removed where the original hearth is still in place, anchors the centre of the home – a nod to the warmth this property has offered its family for over 70 years. The kitchen and bathroom have both been renovated over the years while ducted air conditioning throughout ensures year-round comfort.
The freestanding front carport was purpose-built to accommodate a caravan, making it ideal for those who love the freedom to travel.
This is a genuinely rare offering – a home held by one family since the day it was built, crafted with integrity and cared for with pride.
