A property on one of Eagleby’s “most pristine” streets has hit the market for the first time in almost half a century.
50 Plover Drive sits upon a 2428sqm block with a 260sqm brick home, and 46 years of love from its current owner.
“The best thing about this property is it’s a huge amount of land,” sales agent Manny Singh said.
“It’s more than half an acre on one of the most pristine streets in the suburb.
“The location, the convenience, the low amount of traffic, it’s well maintained, it’s quiet, it’s nice, it’s beautiful – once you stand on the street, you can really tell the difference between this street and other areas in the suburb.”
He said the four-bedroom home was fitted with a high, raked ceiling and cathedral roof.
It also offers two bathrooms, solar, a 3000L rainwater tank, a six-car garage, plenty more parking space, and two street-front entrances.
“You can enter the property from two streets at both the back and the front,” Mr Singh said.
“The best part of the house is the lounge area, where there is a woodfire chimney.
“You won’t see that in any brand-new construction these days, and it’s made with copper, so it’s one of the rarest chimneys I’ve seen.”
This “rustic” room is further enhanced by the brick wall, ceramic-tiled floor, and raked timber ceilings.
Barn-style sliding doors lead into a second living area that opens into the rumpus room.
The current owner is a collector, Mr Singh said, so he’s got a lot of old things.
“He has looked after this property for the last 46 years – all his children have grown up here,” he said.
The owner also has a passion for gardening.
“The front and back gardens have been preserved with a lot of plants, and a lot of wildlife comes here – kookaburras, possums, water dragons, blue-tongue lizards – it has been really nicely maintained,” Mr Singh said.
“More than 70 to 80 little succulents have been grown here and there are plenty of trees.”
He said the property was a great choice for both owner occupiers and investors.
