This instantly charming 1920′s character home has all the beginnings of a beautiful renovation project, with genuine scope to be transformed into a magnificent family homestead. A much-loved and happy home for 3 decades, the potential here is exciting!! Whether you decide to simply pull up the carpets, polish the timber floors below, modernise the kitchen and bathroom and reap the rewards, or choose to raise and extend the existing home, and add a cracking deck and pool … the options really are endless!
Embracing the character of a by-gone era, the timeless timber and iron exterior, sun-drenched front verandah, stained glass and timber front door and classic casement windows adorned by elegant awnings encourage a picture-perfect first impression. Inside, the soaring 3m ceilings, VJ walls and ornate fretwork create a gentle ambiance throughout the property. This is a residence that’s been adored; a home that’s been cared for with respect to its era.

Underneath the house, you’ll find car accommodation for 2 vehicles in addition to considerable storage space for all the toys.
The sprawling yard offers a blank canvas for your creative flair; why not consider installing a king-sized shed, adding a sparkling pool or get your green thumb out and start that dream garden? With so much space and unlimited access to the entire block, your creativity can roam free.
The list of additional features this property offers is as impressive as it is lengthy:
- level 784m2 block of sprawling yard with endless options for use

For evening walks along the water, the tranquil foreshore is just a few minutes away. It’s no wonder that properties in this locale are highly desirable yet ever so tightly held.
The potential to raise or extend the existing home is obvious; and in this blue-chip precinct the risk of overcapitalising is very minimal. Serious house-hunters will know that unrenovated yet well-maintained character homes on sizeable blocks are highly sought-after and demand far outweighs supply. You’ll need to act fast to avoid disappointment!
