Traditionally, “Feature Homes” were positioned on corner allotments – as a Statement-Piece or a ‘welcome’ to the suburb.

And so it is that this 1926 Freestone/Tudor-style “Gentleman’s Residence” (on 1214sqm approx)- with high peaked, terracotta-tile roof; Roman-columns and Terrazzo return-verandah; delivers all the hallmarks of being the “top shelf” signature home for Colonel Light Gardens.

Over-the-journey much has changed. A significant addition in the 1960′s were (then) Dentist’s Rooms – complete with own entry, reception, storeroom and 3 consulting rooms. And a stand-alone ‘workshop’ completed the Professional-Attachment. These are now presented as additional bedrooms and/or to-be-upgraded work-from-home small business.

As well, the home was modernised circa 1970′s in which few (if any), of the character features (skirting boards, cornices, rosework etc) now remain. Additionally and/or concurrently, several areas simply need to be “brought into the 21st Century”; and the new kitchen bears testimony to what you can deliver.
The main home is currently set up as 5 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms plus office

There is also undercover, secure parking for three vehicles; and additional off-street parking- along with a substantial additional building (retreat, storeroom etc)

This then is the challenge. Renovate in a contemporary style? Or re-introduce the character features? And how best to utilise all the rooms?
Do you create two separate living areas; vary the internal layout or re-establish the professional rooms? You are but limited by your imagination.

Whatever option you choose, you will be well rewarded, by re-establishing No 2 East Parkway as arguably the finest home in Colonel Light Gardens.

Set for Auction on Saturday 11am 7 November – And will sell!
