No. 26 Jansz Crescent, Griffith is up for sale.
You’d be forgiven for thinking you’d stepped into a 1960s time warp when visiting this mid-century Griffith abode.
And selling agent Leanne Palmer is pulling out all stops to ensure prospective buyers walk into a home reminiscent of the swinging 60s in every way possible.
“I’ve been finetuning my open for inspection playlist and there’s a whole lot of Aretha Franklin and Beatles classics on it,” said Ms Palmer, from Belle Property – Kingston.
“I’m going to have the 1960s vibe playing in the background for all the opens.”
Set on a landholding of 1106sqm, the four-bedroom property at 26 Jansz Crescent still pays homage to the home’s vintage almost 60 years after it was first built.

On a landholding of 1106sqm.
Interior decor has been styled to meet the era, complimenting existing built-in timber cabinetry, the original kitchen and kitsch stone fireplace mantle with a gas heater.
There is also a separate study/library space with custom hardwood shelving in tune with the home’s origins.
“It was a privately built house in 1961 and I sold it two years ago to the current vendors and that sale was the first-ever sale. The family had it from 1961 until 2018,” Ms Palmer said.
Outside there are mature fruit trees and berry vines, as well as a single garage with internal access, an adjoining laundry and workshop, store room and hobby room.
Ms Palmer said the property had appeal for both mid-century enthusiasts, keen to restore the unique property, and those with a vision for a potential knockdown-rebuild.

“There’s two possible buyers for this – there’s the buyer who wants the location. The location is superb. Jansz Crescent is a wonderful street – nice, quiet and tree-lined,” she said.
“It’s an 1100sqm block with the reserve at the back and Canberra Grammar across the road from the reserve.
“But it’s bang in the pocket of a really good location so the property would lend itself beautifully to a redevelopment. It could be a knockdown-rebuild of a magnificent home with views to Red Hill out the back.
It goes to auction on September 19.
“On the other hand, the buyer could be someone who really loves the ‘60s and the mid-century vibe of the house and restores it. There’s good bones and it’s structurally sound, it just needs some cosmetic decoration or restoration to bring it back to that sexy 1960s house that it used to be.”
She said the property would go to auction on 19 September at 10am.
“I don’t think it’s any secret that it last traded for $1.641 million so we would be expecting well in excess of that this time around,” she said.
