It’s the kind of property that passers-by would describe as a character home, but the full extent of its quirky charm can’t be completely appreciated until stepping inside.
Vibrant pink and purple floral wallpaper offers a splash of colour from the moment you swing the Cheltenham villa’s front door open – and that’s just the beginning.
It’s one of several bright and extravagant wallpapers featured throughout the four-bedroom home at 24 Herbert Street, which has hit the market for the first time in 51 years.

Ray White Port Adelaide principal Nick Psarros, who is selling the property with Nathaniel Kennerdale, said the unique interior was a reflection of the family who had owned it since 1969 and preserved ever since.
“They love the colour because it’s an expression of who they are,” he said.
“It’s quite retro.”

Leadlight windows, soaring ceilings and ornate fireplaces are some of the other features that add to the home’s old-world charm.
The 1910s-built property is on a 747sqm block with a tandem carport that could fit four vehicles.
A central hallway – which is emblazoned with the bright floral pattern – is flanked on either side by three bedrooms and a lounge, and leads to a kitchen at the back of the house.

A dining room, study, bathroom and fourth bedroom are also located at the rear of the house.
Outside, a veranda overlooks a manicured lawn and garden with a separate laundry and shed on opposite sides of the yard.
Mr Psarros said the home offered the perfect blank canvas for househunters looking for a renovation project.
“You don’t get many like that,” he said.
“I’m getting lots of inquiries – it’s the originality of the house and the potential (for buyers) to put their stamp on it.”
The home is on the market with a price guide of $580,000 to $610,000, with best offers accepted until September 29.
