Five Dock ‘time capsule’ hits the market after 50 years

This three-bedroom home at 41 Great North Road Five Dock, NSWhas been held by the one family since 1973 and is set to go under the hammer on 29 November.

Ray White Burwood sales executive Lambros Markessinis is marketing the deceased estate and described it as a “unique time capsule”.

“For 50 years, this was the family's cherished residence, with the owner Mr Yiannatzi becoming a well-known and respected figure throughout the Five Dock community,” Mr Markessinis said.

“The property retains much of its original character, including period wallpaper and carpets, with modest updates to hall and kitchen tiles undertaken approximately 15 years ago.

“Most recently, the home provided accommodation for the family's third generation, housing Mr Yiannatzi's granddaughter and her family during the construction of their own residence.”

Mr Markessinis said the retention of original features throughout the home reflects the family's ownership and provides incoming buyers with a blank canvas to create their vision - whether that involves sympathetic restoration, contemporary renovation, or redevelopment to maximise the site's potential.
