We have another local open home tomorrow with the team from Botwright Properties, this time at 25 Swan Street in Shorncliffe.
A residence rich in history, character and unrealised potential, quietly positioned within one of the baysideβs most tightly held streets, this is not just a property - it is an opportunity waiting to be realised. Set on a substantial 738mΒ² parcel in a prized non-waterfront pocket, this four-bedroom, two-bathroom home offers a rare chance to secure land, legacy and future upside in equal measure. Not offered to the market in nearly 30 years, opportunities of this nature are seldom seen, and tightly held for good reason.
Originally named Heather-Cote, the home was later renamed Plumridge in honour of the Plumridge family, who built the residence in 1904, with John Plumridge serving as Mayor of Sandgate in 1906. Across its 122-year history, it has been held by just three families, a quiet testament to its significance and enduring appeal. Today, the home remains largely in its original condition, with only light updates completed in the early 2000s. It has been carefully preserved, offering a rare and authentic foundation for what comes next.
