The Location

Renewed interest in central transport friendly suburbs with all the services desired by the upwardly mobile generation x and y’s has led this revival. With a long term trend of 13.4% growth this may be your last chance to grab a piece of architectural history at a budget price.
the house:
The exact history of this classic colonial is still a mystery however, judging from the style and unique, original handcrafted finishing, early 1900′s would be a good guess. Double sash windows, 12ft ceilings and wide board polished timber floors make this home a real treasure that should be preserved. The original wood stove is a beautiful feature of the spacious kitchen which has ample cupboard space and breakfast bar.
The 3 queen sized bedrooms are positioned perfectly to capture cool afternoon breezes. One of the bedrooms has an enormous built in cupboard. Central to the home is the oversized lounge room which features an original light fitting. Breeze way windows in the hallway and floor to ceiling VJ’s with more ornate original light fittings perfect this colonials’ character.
The bathroom is neat and tidy and has a handy linen cupboard. The internal laundry is huge and airy with a row of gorgeous frosted colour glass windows.
The spacious block (870m2) has side access to the 7x8m powered shed and there is another timber shed which would make the cutest of chook houses. The yard is fully fenced and is dotted with fruit trees, a fragrant frangipani and a majestic Jacaranda.
With just a little TLC this home will be the masterpiece of the street! Don’t wait till auction day to make your offers because we are ready to sell now!
