A much-loved milk bar that once sold lollies and other goodies has hit the market after being converted into a three bedroom home.
The circa-1894 local landmark in Flemington, Melbourne, originally operated as a grocer and has retained its charming 'milk bar aesthetic'.
Jellis Craig Kensington agent Jerome Feery told realestate.com that the late owner, Thelma, operated it from 1988 to 1999.
'[The milk bar] was a very community-minded place known for its yearly football tipping competition,' he said.

The interiors were rebuilt in 2000, and owner Thelma lived in the property following the milk bar's closure.
The yellow signage of 'Macca's Milk Bar' sits prominently above a corrugated roof, and hides three bedrooms and a spa bath.
At the front is the living room with large bay windows and the main bedroom features an ensuite with the spa bath and built-in wardrobes.
