Ozva AdminAn abandoned house dating to the early 1900s has been put on the market and could sell for about $1.8 million, according to real estate specialists.
The deceased property in trendy Marrickville in inner-west Sydney was announced on Monday, revealing derelict interiors, neglected furniture and abandoned household items still inside.
The four-bedroom house sits on a 4,000-square-foot block in the in-demand suburb, recently in the news as Prime Minister Anthony Albanese’s home base.
The photos reveal the “shabby and uninhabitable” state of the house, with champagne glasses left on top of a piano in the living room, framed pictures on the walls, kitchen equipment and even an old rotary phone.

“If there was an architectural design restoration on the property, I think it would attract a lot of interest,” said the real estate agent (pictured, aerial view)

“It’s a shame it hasn’t been kept because it introduces the existing character and all that,” Vasil said.
‘We would like to see the property fully restored to its original glory.
“If there was an architectural design restoration on the property, I think it would attract a lot of interest,” added the realtor.
The property is in the upper part of the street and has two bathrooms, dining room and large backyard, with forklifts.

Vasil said he had a ‘development advantage’ subject to council approval and said the local environmental plan allows multiple uses for the property.
It can be converted into a boarding house, corner store, a boarding house or a multi-family dwelling.
“The character is unique, the construction is pretty consistent with most of the houses in Marrickville,” he said.
“It’s a solid building and it leaves you with a lot of outdoor space, both in the front and in the back.”
