There is a blast from the past hiding in the centre of Chelsea.
As 64 Chelsea Rd approaches its 70th birthday, the property has been put up for auction by the daughter and son of the original owner on what would have been his 100th birthday -April 29 - at 1.30pm.
This beloved house, which was bought in 1949 for £273 and was home to three generations of the same family, is situated on a lovely 834sq m elevated block within walking distance of the beach, shops and schools – making it perfect for families. It’s like a living museum complete with retro furniture, carpets and wallpaper, while the established fruit trees create a magnificent canopy over the existing gardens.
There’s a classic Hills Hoist in the backyard that is hydro-powered. Simply turn the tap on and water from the property’s bore raises the Hills Hoist; turn the tap back and the water will fill the buckets and the Hills Hoist lowers. You’ve never seen anything like it.
