With the property market picking itself up and dusting itself off ready for another resurgence growth period, this home is a fantastic long term investment opportunity should you wish to create for yourself an equity next egg for the future. For, underneath the solid brick exterior and older style but classic interior, lies the potential to gradually create a modern masterpiece, tackling one makeover at a time all the while living amongst the existing neat and tidy decor that the home possesses.
Taking a tour through the home, the side door and steps leads you into an entrance hall that is clad with neutral toned, textured wallpaper.
From there, the home is a choose your own adventure style layout, flowing either into the formal dining and lounge room, or into the open plan style kitchen and dining area which also themselves connect.
The first central hub of the home, the kitchen and dining area, features cork flooring, an upright oven and stove, double pantry, sunny yellow benches and wood look cabinets in a wraparound breakfast bar style.
It leads through into the formal living space, which features a ceiling fan and lush carpet. Dinner parties here overlooking the view will become par for the course, or, if you are in the nesting stage of your life, it is also an idyllic area for family playtime.
A hallway leads away from the living areas introducing the homes three spacious bedrooms as it goes. Two minor double bedrooms, one with built in robes and both with big windows feature neutral decor and can be easily spruced to create crisp, modern settings. The master bedroom is a generous king size with built in robes and two big windows overlooking the yard.
They share the homes family style bathroom, a unique introductory tiled area which provides access to the toilet and linen closet, and the bathroom itself which is a classic combination of bath, separate shower and storage vanity amongst striking red and white tones and immaculate damask wallpaper.
In all of its retro glory, it is almost cool again, so could either be refreshed with new fittings, or completely redone to create a contemporary space.
Finally, the home is completed with the laundry, which provides outdoor access to the rear sunroom and airing area, perfect for getting those close dry in the winter months. The resulting flow of the home creates great open spaces, which get the mind pondering with their raised view over the rear yard, some ocean glimpses, big windows and night time outlook over twinkling lights.
Do you extend the living areas further to create a mammoth indoor space, or continue the tradition of great Aussie decks be building on to the existing home and creating bifold or French door access from the existing living areas.
The same could also be done at the front of the house, the gigantic size of the front yard allowing room to move, create garaging or develop eye catching gardens to complement the home.
Either way, the generous 892 square metre size of the yard is conducive to doing so while still allowing extensive lawns or kids play areas.
