In 1939, a builder named Leslie Dwyer moved his family into a newly-built Griffith home, just a short stroll to Manuka Village.
When the construction industry waned during the Depression, Leslie turned his attention to his passion, photography. He set up his shop on Manuka’s 'The Lawns', the first shop ever to reside in this precinct.
Over its lifetime the home has served multiple generations and seen a number of illustrious guests.
After 78 years, the opportunity has arisen to become part of this home’s long history as it is offered for sale for the first time.
Sitting on a substantial 1095 square metre block, this three bedroom cottage is in a brilliant location. It offers superb potential to live-in, renovate or redesign and build your dream home.
The three-bedroom home is also remarkable for its historic role as a demonstration residence for a rendered finish on its exterior walls.
Inside, it is characterised by an original kitchen and bathroom, period sash windows and high ceilings throughout.
A sunroom added in the 1950s extends the living area and draws additional sunlight.
Another charming original feature of this solid home is the attached garage with double timber doors.
The neat rear garden setting is populated with a number of fruit trees among other shade trees, with side access enabling easy maintenance.
Its inner south location is unbeatable, with schools and shops within walking distance and Manuka Village only minutes away.
