IDEAL for a young couple or retiree – this beautiful timber cottage is packed with character and boasts a new kitchen and modern bathroom.
Tidy and functional, this old charmer also features polished floorboards, high ceilings, a roof in good condition, covered outdoor area (high roofed carport) and air conditioning.
There is a small and easy-to-maintain yard with a garden shed and clothes line and the fencing appears to be in good order.
Metal shutters on two of the front windows help dramatically reduce sound coming from the highway. But if you’re concerned about the highway, don’t forget the majority of the heavy traffic will be diverted with the highway upgrade to be completed in the next couple of years.
Below is a list of some of the improvements the current owner has completed in the past 11 years:
- Removed outdoor toilet/laundry separate from the house
- Removed outdated carport with asbestos
- Removed large mango tree on motel side of the fence which had damaged the sewer line
- Replaced rear foundations to support a new extension incorporating a new bathroom and outdoor area/carport. The original back door was positioned at the back kitchen wall. This was done through council and all appropriate approvals were carried out. A well respected local builder was engaged – F J McLennan for extension work and the new kitchen installation (valued at 8K).
- Installed a solid steel post and timber fence adjacent to the driveway
- Installed gardens for privacy and screening
- Replaced the plumbing sewer line from extension to the property boundary – John Wright Plumbers
- Painted the exterior of the house with quality weather shield. Painted the majority of the inside
- Installed the shutters on the front
- Installed air conditioning
- Replaced fly screens on window frames and front screen door.
- Installed Garden shed and chicken coup
- Installed new carpet through hallway and first bedroom
- Repainted kitchen and lounge rooms and removed old vinyl/masonite and sanded original mixed hardwood floors and varnished with 3 coats
