Reaburn Crescent - Physical Description 1
Reaburn Crescent is an intact street of inter-war bungalows encompassing 1-13 and 2-18 Reaburn Crescent, as well as 1-5 Wattle Valley Road, which terminates the north end of Reaburn Crescent.
No 12 Reaburn is a recent development which blends with the other houses; this is the only non-contributory house within the boundaries of the precinct.
The houses at No. 1 (the earliest), 3 and 5 Wattle Valley Road are of similar date with only No. 1 being developed before the Board of Works Plan was signed off in Dec 1928. Nos. 3 & 5 were completed after that time, as were almost all of the houses on Reaburn Crescent. By 1928 only a handful of houses were completed.Houses are typically single storey, set back from the street. They have glazed clay tile hipped or gabled roofs. The houses display similar features including: front verandahs with paired columns or fluted piers and double-hung sash windows with leadlight uppers. No. 5 Wattle Valley Road is a weatherboarded single storied, double fronted house with a tiled roof and appears to be a variation on two other houses in Reaburn Crescent and is probably circa early 1930s. It appears to have a modified verandah roof (flat as opposed to pitched).
The street retains some original gardens and plantings, as well as low fences and garages. Original timber and unpainted brick houses contribute to the significance of the precinct, as do the remaining original front fences and front outbuildings / garages.
