A rare Lynmore original, rich in history and heart

Some homes are simply houses. Others carry the story of a family and, in this case, part of the story of a suburb.

Built in 1948, when Lynmore was just beginning to take shape, 23 Lynmore Avenue is a rare original with a place in the neighbourhood's history. The Baker family were its first owners before it became home to John and Shirley Sherborne and their family for more than five decades. It was photographed and featured in a Daily Post story about Lynmore's heritage.

For the Sherborne family, this was the backdrop to more than 50 years of life. Four children were raised here, family and friends gathered, milestones celebrated and memories made.

The charming stucco home retains the gracious proportions and character of its era. High ceilings, decorative cornices, tall windows and warm timber details give it a quiet elegance that is increasingly difficult to find.

Inside, there are three double bedrooms plus a single bedroom and two distinct living areas. The open-plan dining and living room is complemented by a second sitting room off the kitchen, while a heat pump and compliant stand alone fireplace provides additional comfort.

Set on a corner section, established gardens and mature trees give the property privacy, maturity and a sense of belonging. A separate standalone single garage provides storage and parking.

The Redwood Forest is quite literally a hop, skip and a jump away, Lynmore Primary School is an easy walk, and the local shops sit directly across the road. A wonderful sense of community and familiarity makes it easy to imagine another generation enjoying all this location offers.

This isn't a finished home offering someone else's vision. It is an increasingly rare opportunity to preserve what gives the house its character while shaping it for the way you want to live.

Now offered for the first time in more than 50 years, 23 Lynmore Avenue is ready for someone new to add their own story to its history.
