The home has been owned by the current owners since 1981. Please read the Vendor's wonderful story of the ownership of the home and the work that they have done to the home over their time residing in the home.

The current Vendors love the area, they have built a new home on the adjoining corner allotment.

The home has an entrance hallway that leads to the main bedroom suite with walk in robe and ensuite. The front of the home also includes a second and third bedroom and a formal sitting room.

Three rooms to the front of the home have open fireplaces and an enormous amount of character and charm that all buyers will love.

The centrally located kitchen facility has ample cupboard and bench space. It has a view to a courtyard garden that lets in that Northern light to give the home that bright light feeling.

The kitchen is adjacent to a very large living, dining and everyday meals area. This room really is something spectacular with North facing windows to the rear with an attractive leadlight that came out of a dwelling in Glenelg in 1988 and also features solid timber flooring. This stunning addition is just an amazing room for lifestyle in 2025.

This generous undercover outdoor living area is spectacular. The generous allotment of land 682m with a paved play area for children, attractive, established garden surrounding the grounds. Also featuring a very old grape vine covering a pergola.

The home also includes a further two bedrooms that is part of the addition and the home is also serviced by an excellent main bathroom and an excellent laundry facility.

To the East side of the home there is a shared driveway that leads to the large carport on the side of the residence which is ideally for extra storage of cars or just a great outdoor living area. The three car garage is on the opposite side of the home which is a double front garage and one undercover carpark behind plus a great large storage area.

Something unique, but certainly very inspiring.

This home has been well maintained by the current owner since 1981 and they have lived there for many, many years and enjoyed the environment of the area and more recently built on the adjacent corner a new home when the opportunity came up. What a great opportunity this is for any buyer seeking a family home with five bedrooms and brilliant extension of a lifestyle living area.

VENDOR STORY
FOR 24 DOVER STREET MAYLANDS

This was our family home from when we were married (1988)
Our Sons were raised in the home, having lived there for most of their lives
When we first lived there the home was basically 4 front rooms, with
lean-to across the back, quite cosy!
This full extension to home at rear added shortly after, wanting a large
open area for large extended family gatherings but also keeping in
character with the original dwelling. Our desire for large windows at North
facing rear for the garden view & capture the winter sun and in character
with the dwelling, was met when we eventually found the windows from an
old school building being demolished. Very clear memory of being 7
months pregnant, sitting on a stool, cleaning old red bricks for the
extension.
We are unsure of the age of the grape vine, but during construction found
an old home made concrete post dated 1958, which would have been
made when the vine was quite large at that time.
The restoration of original front verandah style was later undertaken, to
replace the out of character 1950's flat roof / steel posts.
The large family room has been used for all large extended family and
friends functions, including
- Our Sons significant events, birthdays every year - in particular large 18th &
21st gatherings
- Our Parents birthdays, including large formal diners for 65th & 80th
birthdays (with 50+ for seated diner)
- The large extended family Christmas gatherings.
We have loved the area, now our Sons have moved out we have downsized
and built a new home on the adjoining corner.
It has been a wonderful family home, with so many special memories.
We will be sad to see it go.
We wish the new owners all the best for a wonderful future in 24 Dover
Street Maylands.
