Queenland retro kitchens a hot option as 1950s Tarragindi house sells
Retro kitchens are proving to be a hit with Queensland property hunters, with a 1950s home in Tarragindi being snappily sold recently for $534,000.
The home (pictured above) retains many original features including built-in cabinetry and high ceilings with decorative cornering, but the stand out room is the mint green kitchen.
Situated on 607 square metres, the three-bedroom home was purchased in 1984 for $76,000.
Jerri Harrison-Taylor of Re/Max says the property sold within a week of being listed and she was inundated with calls in the brief time it was on the market.
Not too far away in the suburb of Annerley is an original workers cottage with a blue and white tiled retro kitchen.
The Real Estate Insitute of Queensland's Nicola McDougall has written on Property Observer today about the appeal of retro kitchens to potential buyers.
Located on Prince Street, the home (pictured below) was built around the turn of the 20th Century and has an asking price of $450,000.
