It may need a bit of work but this freestanding brick cottage could become a superb family home in the right hands. Presented in original condition, it sits on a large 253sqm dual access block directly opposite Enmore Park and offers outstanding potential for a creative redesign or transformation to make it a modern family residence.

The home is in solid order and has high ceilings, timber floorboards and original fireplaces. The single level layout includes separate living and dining areas, three bedrooms, small bathroom and kitchen space. A deep rear yard has a private level lawn and access to the back lane, providing potential for an off street car space.

This is one of the last remaining original homes in what is considered to be one of the best streets on the Marrickville/Enmore border and is surrounded by quality family residences. It will bring unlimited rewards for those wishing to capitalise on such a sought-after park-front position within a stroll to Metro shops, bus transport and Enmore Road cafes.

Auction: Wednesday 11 December 2013 at 6.30pm, City Fringe Auction Rooms, 9 Missenden Road, Camperdown.
