Tucked away in a quiet cul-de-sac in Upper Plumstead, this lovingly maintained heritage home is more than just a property, it’s a sanctuary, a place of gathering, and a pillar of the close-knit Gray Road community. Rich in character and detail, it blends timeless craftsmanship with thoughtful modern upgrades, offering a rare opportunity to own a piece of history with space to create your own story.
A quaint front porch adorned with broekie lace and solid brass fittings sets the tone for what lies within. Original Oregon pine floors, high ceilings, and beautifully preserved cornices immediately convey heritage charm and warmth, flowing seamlessly into the generous living spaces. The home offers two spacious bedrooms with built-in cupboards, including a master suite with en-suite bathroom. A bright, open-plan kitchen, fitted with a brand-new Defy glass-top stove, under-counter oven, and soft-touch cabinetry, connects naturally to the lounge and opens onto an elevated deck overlooking the garden, perfect for relaxed mornings or entertaining.
The private garden has been lovingly nurtured over 17 years, becoming a lush oasis alive with birdsong, greenery, and even a local squirrel affectionately known as “Ringo.” It is a space of peace and healing, where children can play and pets can roam. Adding further flexibility, the home includes a basement with multiple rooms, accessible from outside or via a hidden wardrobe in the master bedroom. This whimsical retreat is ideal as a teen haven, man cave, wine cellar, or work-from-home studio.
Practical features include parking for up to four vehicles, a new geyser, USB plug points in every room, a retractable washing line, and zoning as GR4 for future development potential.
This is a home with a soul. It has hosted family milestones, provided sanctuary during challenging times, and carries the warmth of a community where neighbours know each other by name. With a fenced park about 250m from number 34 so is centrally located in the middle of Gray Road for everyone to access and enjoy, daily security patrols, and amenities including schools, shops, wellness centers, and transport links all within easy reach, Gray Road offers both safety and convenience in a welcoming environment. The park gets locked every evening to ensure the safety of all residents and opened again early every morning to allow those who utilize the park to walk to work access along with those wishing to run their dogs or get in some fresh air before their day starts, easy and safe access. The park is then locked again in the evening after the children have played and everyone has had an opportunity to enjoy this clean, community gathering which is exceptionally safe and beautifully maintained. Every swing, round-a-bout and see-saw is taken care of by the community who enjoy the benefits of giving back.
34 Gray Road is not just a starter home or a retirement option. It is a place where families grow, friendships flourish, and history is woven into its very walls. Make it yours, and continue the story.
