The popularity of solid brick homes built in the ’70s and ’80s has soared recently and for good reason as, with some internal updates, these structurally sound beauties can be easily brought into the 21st Century. This three-bedroom arched stunner on a huge block with a massive 27.6m2 frontage is ripe for an interior makeover and a good match for savvy first-time buyers and investors who can see its awesome potential.

Highlights:

- Substantial 696m2 block with low upkeep lawns immaculately maintained by the owner
- Situated on a quiet, owner-occupied, tree-lined street, three minutes’ drive to train station
- Three-bed lowset with combined kitchen/dining and separate lounge
- Double carport, 11m long covered entertaining area + open-air patio, workshop and aviary
- First time to market in 30 years – owner has vacated and is motivated to sell

With such a wide street frontage, this home makes quite the first impression with timber fencing flanking both sides of the house itself and the combination of extensive brickwork, pitched roof/wall lines, and feature archways over the entry to the front door and carport.

Inside, the layout comprises a fan-cooled carpeted lounge room leading to three carpeted bedrooms – all with built-in-robes and ceiling fans – a full bathroom with shower, tub and separate toilet, a laundry, and the open-plan kitchen/dining area with access to a side patio spanning the length of the home.

Yes, the house is currently rocking a very ’70s vibe, but when you have bones this good, the hard work is done and all you need to do – if you seek a more contemporary look – is refresh the flooring, make a few revisions in the bathroom, pop on a fresh coat of paint, and maybe install a ready-made kitchen with more modern cabinetry and updated mod cons.

It must be said you could move straight in and enjoy living here from the get-go. The place is fully functional, and you might even decide to retain some of the character features like the timber wall panels in the carpeted lounge or the funky vinyl in the kitchen – it’s amazing how you can blend eras with smart design choices these days!
