If you’re up for a bit of a challenge, handy with tools and knowledge of building construction and not frightened of exerting a little elbow grease to lift the appearance of a house, this property might be the one for you.

It’s an early Twentieth Century character weatherboard and iron home standing up high on its stumps on an elevated block with views from the front verandah to distant Mt Ommanney. There’s a short entry hall with fancy arch terminating at a cosy lounge room featuring original timber fire mantel.

Three of the four bedrooms are original, all being around the front entry, one having a walk-in robe and French doors to an enclosed side verandah; now a sleepout. The first bedroom still has its authentic coal burning cast iron fire place. The fourth bedroom is a recent addition to the rear of the house off the lounge.

Meals are cooked on a gas stove in the kitchen which features a unique Jarrah plank ceiling. There’s room for a small meals table. That’s all you need – who does formal dining these days anyway? Renovations took place in the bathroom some years ago and it has a bathtub, vanity, toilet and linen press.

Once there may have been a creaky old timber laundry out the back but now it’s housed in a neat Colorbond shed with second toilet and vanity. The creaky old garage is still there but a new 6x4m Zincalume lockup garage with concrete floor is the place to park the car.

The block of land is a huge 1 224m2 with dual R15/20 zoning and 3 road frontages so it’s just begging to be subdivided.
