This original 1963 architecturally designed home was substantially extended in the 1970′s and now offers an incredible opportunity for a quality renovation. The improvements provide numerous lifestyle options with granny flat or teenager’s retreat in addition to the 4 bedrooms plus study in the original structure. There are elements of a 1960′s time capsule with the original timber panelling, original period kitchen appliances, timber clad bar, even a music control and electronic intercom throughout with a state of the art (1960′s style) security system. The formal rooms feature extensive use of timber finishes and the ball room size living area has 3 metre high raked ceiling and is drenched with natural light from the sliding doors to the courtyard and innovative roof lines. Another extension has an approximately 70m2 storeroom which is crying out for a renovation to a games room and rumpus area. The block is a superb 1850m2 which has been well planted and features a pond and extensive courtyard walls providing great privacy; it is level and in a quiet and tree lined street in the dress circle of Red Hill. In all, this home is on a superb block, in a great location and offers huge renovation potential.
