A clever modern makeover has dressed up this lovely classic weatherboard home to make it a very attractive first home buyer option and there is further potential to do more. A quality paint job inside and out with clever selection of colours really has worked wonders to give it a real lift and a sense of fresh and fun.
This is a corner block with the added advantage of dual access. There is a gated driveway with sealed off street parking off Montrose Road and gated access off Katoomba Crescent leading into a multi-use solid area and large open lawn space..
There is a carport, and garage as well, giving plenty of off street parking and storage options.
This is a lovely street in a great location. You can see the Montrose Bay foreshore and River Derwent from the front of the street, making it a five minute walk to enjoy all that this part of the foreshore has to offer.
The home itself is all on one level and features newly polished solid timber original floorboards, off set with a white crisp wall colour to make it feel even more spacious, light and warm. The white and timber is a lovely combination.
Inside off the front entry is the terrific open plan kitchen, dining and living area. This area has been totally transformed, and the kitchen itself, by design, makes this a great family and entertaining space. There are quality appliances, stainless steel rangehood, glass splashback, pantry and fridge recess. The bench can double as a breakfast bar come pre dinner drinks location. A nice terrace area sits conveniently off the kitchen area and will attract the afternoon sunshine. It also enjoys lovely water views.
The living room is a substantial area and is made more inviting by the large windows and original fireplace. In fact, the renovation has retained some of the original art deco features, such as the front door, internal doors and wood panelling.
There are three bedrooms, all with polished floorboards, the master with a built in wardrobe. The bathroom is stationed centrally, and although it hasn’t been renovated, it is not out of place. There is a separate toilet, linen press and laundry.
The Northgate shopping complex and all of the services and facilities are a short drive. There is also a selection of great schools in the area. A value for money offering.
