Diamond in the rough

Bring your creative touch to this appealing original Tudor of 5 main rooms on 715sqm, superbly located amid other character properties in a beautiful Jacaranda-lined street off Goodwood Road. With a large backyard for rear additions, your dream family home is just an exciting building project away.

Structurally the home remains untouched with many character pleasers including lofty paneled ceilings, period fireplaces and two sets of double doors, giving the wide hallway and interconnecting formal rooms a lovely natural flow.

Dig a little deeper and there is more: At the front, a sunroom – added to capitalize on the home’s north-facing aspect – disguises a handsome columned veranda, while carpets and lino conceal solid timber floors, destined to become your new home’s crowning glory.

You might also wish to preserve the two-tiered buffet in the eat-in kitchen, which, like the bathroom, is functional enough for now. Two bedrooms under the main roof boast generous built-in storage, while there is provision for a third in a sleep-out at the rear.

The Tudor roof, with its pronounced gables, has also been replaced. Complete with a double carport, iron garage, this gorgeous old home is the gateway to an enviable family lifestyle, close to a great choice of schools, vibrant retail strips, close to bus transport and just a few gear changes south of the CBD.
