Back to the ’50s: An Elvis-inspired home has buyers all shook up

Nostalgia, personality and mid-century magic combine in this quirky regional Victorian home where its facade belies what lies inside.

Located in the heart of Glenlyon, just 10km from Daylesford, 19 Eldon Street is a three bedroom, two bathroom home set on 2023sqm with an interior akin to stepping back in time.

“When you turn the front door, it’s your classic ’80s red brick at the front, but it’s like a party inside,” sales agent Ashlee McKee from Belle Property – Daylesford said. “The owners are very much in the music influence industries.”

“They designed the home that suits their personality, as you can see from the mid-century velvet curtains on the walls to the Elvis on another wall, right through to the bedrooms and they’ve even got the beds that have the little radios in them.

“It’s got real funk and style throughout. Even if you take the furnishing out, the kitchen with the decor, the tiles, the timber cabinetry, all those features really make the home different from that traditional brick on the outside.”

Dark feature walls throughout, a big deck with lush countryside views, a striking main living zone with eye-catching green walls and a fireplace and a quintessential mid-century kitchen are among the home’s long list of standout features.

Ms McKee said the residence has been well-kept and maintained, and it was appealing to younger generation buyers as all the work has been done for them.

“Glenlyon is a really beautiful hamlet, there’s not a lot of homes out there, and they are all on large land lots,” she said.

“It’s quite a desired location, because you’re either on 2000sqm of land or you’re on 50 to 100 acres of land.

“It is a mixture of homes – you’ve got original homes, you’ve got newly built homes, and it’s a really lovely community where everyone knows everyone.”

Buyer interest has been steady, with many impressed by the size of the landholding.

“A lot of people are seeing that the land size is really good in the fact that the house is located at the front and then down the back, people are going, ‘Oh, we may want to put a tiny home there’, or we want to set it up with veggie patches and utilise the soil because the soil is rich volcanic soil,” Ms McKee said.

The home has an asking price of $779,000.
