1970s-inspired family home, for a trip back in time
Take a trip back in time to That 70’s House - a quiet family retreat that pays tribute to the glorious 1970s. This spacious 4 bedroom, 3 bathroom property features authentic 70s-era decor, furnishings and collectibles at every turn. This home truly is like a museum, except you can touch things and immerse yourself in a bygone era - spin an album on the vinyl record player or cook up a mouth-watering roast in the original Viceroy Whirlpool oven.
The double-storey property features a delightfully preserved kitchen that maintains much of its original character, plus a large games room that’s equipped with plenty of lounge seats. Upstairs is a roomy lounge area that opens to a full length balcony. Kids will enjoy exploring the large grassed area outdoors while the adults can hang-out in the property’s BBQ area that’s complete with al fresco furniture. The home also includes modern creature comforts - including Smart TVs and WiFi - so you can enjoy the best of both worlds.
That 70’s House is located 21km from Melbourne’s CBD, and minutes’ drive of local shopping and dining spots.
