One owner in prestige condition. That's a typical blurb for classic cars for sale.
In this instance, it is part of the pitch for a coastal cottage constructed in the 1950s that is for sale for the first time since it was built.
Highland Property Agents Melissa Hatheier and Gavin Hill say the property is unique.
"The beauty of this property is in its originality and not much was changed over the years," Ms Hatheier said.
"That gives us a unique and rare glimpse of life in the golden era of the 1950s," Ms Hatheier said.
"Families were raised all over the Shire in cottages such as these in a time when Australians were focused on 'the suburban dream' of owning your own home with all the latest labour-saving appliances."
Ms Hatheier said the property is in a pocket of the Shire where homes rarely are up for sale.
"This particular pocket of the suburb is extremely tightly held for several reasons," she said.
"These homes are a short stroll to the surf, sand and Cronulla mall and perfect for families with local schools close in proximity.
"They are also lovely flat blocks of land and this one in particular features the prized sunny North facing back yard. Also, this area offers easy access in and out with several ways to drive in and avoid seasonal beach traffic."
And the car?
"Many of those who have inspected the property wanted to know 'Does the car come with the property?' , Ms Hatheier said.
"That would be lovely. However, this much loved 1955 FJ Holden has just been on loan for the open for inspections."
