Go back to the future with this '60s time capsule in Watson

There may be two sides to every story, but in this distinctive Watson home there are 16 and that story began some 50 years ago.

This remarkable 16-sided – a hexadecagon – home was built over 1964-1965 and the same family has lived in it ever since.

Sisters Catherine Shipard and Jane Miles and their brother grew up in the home that was variously known around the Dobson Street area as “the igloo”, the “cake house” and the “spaceship” house because of its  Jetsons-like futuristic styling.

Jane says it was really popular with all her friends who were all keen to see what it looked like inside.

“They used to ask me whether it could rotate,” she says. “We just used to think of it us our home and it was a lovely place to live.”

The home, on a 731-square metre block amid a well-established, low maintenance garden, is designed as a circle with the living and four bedroom areas arranged around a hub that is the kitchen.

“The layout flows really well and it’s got a great homely feel,” Catherine says.
