This may be a little shocking to read, if you're anything like us, but the '80s are currently massively on trend. And they're vintage now. But don't let that scare you off from this brilliant and spacious family home which retains all its retro glory. If you're tickled by the idea of bold, patterned walls and flooring, a sweet selection of chandeliers, and more shades of brown and orange than you could have imagined in one place, you'll be in heaven here. But even if '80s styling isn't for you, there's enormous scope for renovation here - literally, with the footprint of the house itself being over 180sqm. Every room in this house is well sized with a considered and therefore excellent floorplan layout, from the bedrooms to the living spaces, and even the laundry. In fact, there's a storeroom off the laundry which is fantastic if you enjoy preserving food, have loads of seasonal clothes or sports equipment, or prefer to shop in bulk. There's a sunroom, which is a beautiful spot where children can play in their own space or you can soak up a few rays while kicking back in your favourite armchair, and attached is a bonus room which is just as versatile. Convert it to a games room, set up a bar and a stereo, and invite friends around for some old-fashioned fun.

Then again, you also have the option of keeping it all to yourself and doing whatever you please with the backyard! There's scope for a complete overhaul as it's a bit of a blank slate at the moment. Also worth noting is that this property is being sold as it is - what you see is what you get! The current owner has never lived in the home so cannot make any guarantees; however the usual process of building and pest inspections will form part of the contract. All in all, this is a perfect time capsule of life in the 1980s, and a rare opportunity for a venture into nostalgia.
