If you’ve been looking for a solid, updated family home in the heart of one of the state’s most sought-after school zones, this luxe Frewville home could well herald the end of the search.
Vendor Wen bought the home at 24 Main Ave seven years ago, attracted by not only its prized location, but also its appearance and the opportunity it gave him to place his stamp on a grand character property.
“I really loved the look of the home,” he says.

“It’s got a lovely facade and has a really fancy look from outside, and we had a really good feeling about it.
“My two children went to Glenunga International High School, which is a very good school, so we really wanted to be close to that.
“It looked like a great home that we could really improve.
“We have done some renovation work inside to improve the living area and we also added a bedroom with an ensuite, because originally it only had one bathroom, and we feel that’s made it really a lot more liveable.
“My company is in the building industry, so quality was very important to me, and I really wanted it to be the best that it could be.
“I think we really did achieve a great outcome.
“The original house was old but it was very strong and well built.”
The home has up to four bedrooms – three at the front of the floorplan, including the master suite which is complete with an ensuite with a separate bath and shower.
All have built-in robes and feature fireplaces.
The fourth, or guest bedroom, sits at the rear and has a built-in robe and an ensuite.

A grand hallway leads past a living room with a fireplace to an open-plan kitchen, living and dining room at the rear.
The kitchen features an island bench, quality appliances and ample cupboard and bench space, and this area opens to both an alfresco area overlooking the backyard, and a separate outdoor entertainment area.
This space is also accessible via the living room.
“Because we have a building company we’ve got so many friends who came over, and we can either have a small barbecue, just some drinks or a bigger party, and we can flow to both the front or back,” Wen says.
“It’s great for entertaining and would be perfect for another family, or it could also be ideal for downsizers.”
Having bought another property, still within the Glenunga school zone, Wen says it is time for someone else to enjoy the home he has brought into the future.
“It’s a wonderful home and I’m really proud of what our team has achieved,” he said.
“It’s the best it could be and I think we’ve done a wonderful job.”
The home will be auctioned at 4.15pm on July 5.
