Blair Athol retro dreaming

The best thing about this home is the bathroom!

I’ll start with the kitchen though, which has a unique feature of fitted formica table and fitted bench seats with built in cupboard in the backrest (and I expect a lift up storage bench) as well as matching feature flooring. A cute little corner cupboard too. A pity I can’t see into the room with the whacky flooring just through the door (I think it could be the formal dining room…). I also love the way there is always a clock in the kitchen.

The master bedroom with beautiful parquetry flooring, loads of quality built-ins, period bedside lights and bedhead with what looks like asymmetrical bedside tables.

The bathroom is truly one of the best you could find. Not only beautiful terrazzo flooring but also a terrazzo shower divide. A colour scheme and visual effect to brighten up your gloomiest of mornings.

In the lounge a lovely tuck-pointed Basket Range stone feature wall to match the front facade.

The obligatory Hill’s hoist with its own path through the lawn so you don’t get wet feet.

This distinct home was sold for $435,000 in July 2012. One has to imagine what it would have looked like with the wallpaper it most likely originally featured. Online photos from D B Philpott Real Estate. Please drop me a line if you lived in this house or took the photos. I just wish to promote retro suburban dreaming and showcase the beautiful homes and unique designs which are rapidly becoming a style of the past as the original owners pass away or move into retirement homes.
