At 2049 m2, this large street to street allotment with views over Boston Bay and close proximity to sporting grounds and schools, shopping centres and entertainment, as well as the obvious subdivision potential, represents terrific value. Currently situated as a well maintained solid construction 4 plus bedroom home, as well as several outbuildings.
The main home, built in 1940 as a rendered stone villa with 12 foot ceilings, sits high from its neighbours, but still disposes as a level allotment with views over surrounding homes down to central Boston Bay.
The other street frontage looks directly over a football oval. The central position ensures a short distance to schooling and shopping, whilst still being in a relatively quiet neighbourhood.
An enclosed front porch greets the visitor to the home, where access is first to the formal lounge with a large stone and slate fireplace now occupied by a slow combustion heater. Corner windows here show water views.
Next are the polished floorboards of the dining and kitchen open space, a large country style comfortable space with further water views from the sink as well as looking over the garden.
A large master bedroom is at the front of the home and also includes a fireplace. A second bedroom is at the end of the short passage. The bathroom is central to the home with very easy access from either of the front bedrooms. The shower is over the bath and there is a corner vanity. Tiles extend 2m up the wall here.
To the rear of the home are two more smaller bedrooms, one with polished floors. All other bedrooms are carpeted, as is the lounge. A rear lobby is the ideal spot to catch some winter sun or use as a quiet sitting room. The last room to the rear is a large laundry, which has an extra shower and the toilet at one end, all fully tiled.
A back porch looks out over the rear yard and leads to the pa door for the mini-orb covered garage. There are three rainwater tanks of varying size here totalling some 80000L supply, all plumbed to the home.
Outside in the yard are three outbuildings, one of which is an old single bed home in need of repair the others being a disused laundry and toilet. They show potential for refurbishment as extra rooms or a teenagers retreat or studio (stcc). A fence divides the rear yard neatly, and illustrates the subdivision potential easily.
