Tradies, developers, and homebuyers, particularly first home buyers, looking for a renovator on a huge block cannot fail to be impressed by this neat Gledhow property.
In a cul-de-sac among well-spaced holdings of similar size, it consists of a fibro and clay tile 1960′s home on 2,226sqm with a games room or studio and several sheds for a variety of uses.
About 8-10 minutes’ drive from the CBD, the holding is easily accessible and offers numerous options for new owners.
The home is sound, so renovation – with the installation of a new kitchen and bathroom – is a more than realistic proposition.
It consists of a sizeable lounge with a Vulcan heater in the brick fireplace; a kitchen and dining area with a wood fire; three double bedrooms; a bathroom with a roman bath, walk-in shower and vanity; a laundry and separate toilet; and a handy utility and storage room.
Adding to the living spaces is a private, covered rear patio overlooking the garden and barbecue area.
The versatile, two-roomed studio comprises a big main space and a wet room accommodating a kitchen sink, shower, vanity and toilet. This freestanding building is big enough for table tennis, pool and storing kids’ paraphernalia, and for creative types to spread out their gear.
Next to the studio is a three-bay, high-clearance shed. Perfect for tradies, it has one lockable and two open-fronted bays, power – including three-phase, a vehicle inspection pit and an engine hoist.
The sealed driveway is wide enough for manoeuvring big vehicles in and out of the shed as well as enhancing the already extensive parking space.
Beyond the big shed are several smaller sheds of one or two bays – some lockable and others open.
A major drawcard is the outstanding block. With local authority permissions, the R20 zoning would allow for development to accommodate up to four units, and there’s an option to subdivide and build two homes, renovate the existing home and subdivide the rear, or use it as it is with all that space.
This property’s location within easy reach of family amenities and in a quiet street of a leafy suburb augments its appeal.
