POV: It's 1975 and You Just Got Home

“POV: It’s 1975 and you just got home,” says the video title, and the veranda backs it up completely — terracotta tile underfoot, an amber lantern sconce by the door, and decorative steel scrollwork holding panes of amber cathedral glass. The listing calls it “the emotional highlight of the home.” We’re not going to argue.

Inside, the gold textured sliding doors do a lot of the talking, opening into a formal lounge carpeted wall-to-wall in a pattern busy enough to qualify as upholstery. Embossed ceiling tiles, candle-style wall sconces and a landscape painting complete a room that hasn’t moved an inch since it was finished.

The kitchen keeps a brick chimney breast as its centrepiece, and the bathroom commits fully to a powder-blue suite — bath, basin and all — the kind of colour choice that’s either being ripped out or heritage-listed, with no middle ground.

And then there’s the parking: an undercroft garage for three to four cars, plus a side hardstand for six more, on a 726sqm block. That’s room for ten-plus vehicles at a house with one bathroom — priorities, clearly, in the right order. This one’s sold, but the listing (and a real estate blurb that name-checks Yiayia, Nonna and Pappous before it gets to the floor plan) is still up if you want the full read.
