The late owner, Kathlyn Ironside, married her husband Bruce Ironside, who lived at No. 28 Cremorne Rd, in May, 1951.
The couple lived at his home until moving back to her family home in 1952.
They raised five children at Woodbury, renovating it over the years to suit their growing family.

The home is on a prime waterfront reserve and has uninterrupted harbour views.
Three inspections a week have been scheduled to allow for the large number of buyers wanting to get a look at the home, which has spectacular views over Mosman Bay, and extending out across the harbour to the eastern suburbs.
The 446sqm landholding has direct access to the foreshore walk leading to Cremorne Point Wharf and Old Cremorne Wharf. Maccallum Pool is also within walking distance.
The home still has plenty of charm.

Mr Lapham said it was a rare opportunity.
“There’s not really many that have been held for more than a century,” he said.
“It would have to be one of Cremorne Point’s longest-held properties, maybe even the lower north shore’s.”
The home is scheduled to go to auction on September 17, at 5pm, with a price guide of $3.8 million.
