‘You’re old’: 1980s party pad sparks retro divide

Key points

• A 1980s acreage home at Mudgeeraba on the Gold Coast has hit the market for the first time in 43 years. Its green stone bathrooms, red vinyl bar and tiki-style outdoor area have divided members of a vintage property group.
• Some members argue the 1990s is retro and the 1980s is marginal, while others say the era has become the new 70s.
• The 4,106 square metre creekside property is being marketed through an expressions of interest campaign with Karen McDonald of Coastal.
