Selling agent Peter Kikianis has described a retro Birkenhead home set to go under the hammer this week as a rare “time capsule” offering buyers flexibility in a tightly held suburb.
The original art deco house at 25 Levi St, built in the early 1960s, has remained largely unchanged apart from a new roof and some internal painting, and will be auctioned on Wednesday.
Kikianis, of Ray White Semaphore, said the two-bedroom property was “more than just a home.”
“It’s a time capsule of Adelaide’s multicultural heritage and a family’s enduring legacy,” he said.
“The property is a blank canvas in a tightly-held location, and is in close proximity to the Osborne Shipyards, historic Port Adelaide and the beaches of Semaphore.”
He said the buyer could move in, renovate, extend or redevelop the site, subject to council approval.
The home was built by a Polish immigrant couple and remained in the family for more than six decades. Their daughter, Irene Lynch, said she hoped another family would now make it their own.
