Why this one-bedroom ‘garage house’ in the Perth Hills hit the market for $700k

Sandover was a well-known hardware merchant and philanthropist who in 1921 donated the medal bearing his surname as the West Australian Football League’s annual award recognising the league’s fairest and best player of the regular season.
