CLASSIC SKYHOOKS! – 1970'S Renovated Village Home

Creative renovations breathe fresh life into a home.


Australian home building during the 1970's marked a youthful lifestyle shift in consumer level architectural expression away from the sedate 1950/60's era, and designs became slightly adventurist.


Home footprints became bigger as the first Baby Boomer spending power hit the economy. The new USA style of floorplans expressed a tad of what we now call open plan living.


Yes, the 1970's saw the advent of blockbuster movies, disco music and 24 Rose Street, Murrumbateman


Upon moving in during 2023, our vendor's sat down in their early 1970's challenge and sketched out a fabulous plan that anchored their home's existing footprint to a sequence of stunning internal upgrades.


They put in a new country kitchen with solid timber bench tops and a Dublin ceramic sink, reconfigured a bedroom section to add walk-in robe and beautiful ensuite, then added a resort style family bathroom with floor to ceiling tiles and a very indulgent rain head shower circular bathtub.


Other sweeping changes included installing ducted air-conditioning, the adding in the latest in floor coverings with a flattering colour palette of modern tiles, and a tip to toe repaint of the home's living areas. Lifting dashes of colour highlights have added a nice twist of upbeat interest and a step away from the conforming tones of the subdued 1970's mission brown.


Fast forward to 2026 & we've gone from groovy to cool!


24 Rose's fabulous 1342m2 near level block provides plenty of space to extend the home, add a granny flat, drop in a swimming pool, or even another large shed, (STCA). But, as it is, the block is ideal for weekend entertaining, the kids home sports, pets, and gardening.


The 98m2/4 car Colorbond workshop shed provides secure parking for 4 average sized cars, and there's plenty of open block space for larger vehicles and boat trailers. If you have an extra-large vehicle collection, you could attach open or closed annexes to the front and rear of the shed.


Lastly, 24 Rose is a dawdle away from Murrumbateman's early years childcare and schooling centres, Fairley Square's cafés and shops, plus the original village centre with all if it's village life attractions and services.


Essentially, 24 Rose Street is the amazing result of what a generational changeover can do to a home. Start with a vision, then pump in some new era oxygen and all set for the 2070's.


Just like Shirl and SKYHOOKS, this is your groovy chance to try 'LIVING IN THE 70's' too!
