They say you can't teach an old house new tricks - but this character classic clearly didn't get the memo! Occupying a generous 731sqm (approx.) block with exciting R25 zoning and subdivision possibilities attached, it presents a fabulous opportunity to live comfortably, collect rental income or simply bide your time while plotting your next property move. In the meantime, there's plenty to love about the existing home, from its inviting open plan living space and private backyard entertaining area to gated side access and abundant parking options, ensuring its original practicality comes with a generous helping of personality. And for those who like to tinker, an extra wide powered lock up workshop shed - alternatively serving as a single garage - awaits at the rear, complete with its very own mechanic's pit for the ultimate hands on enthusiast. Nest, invest or subdivide - this solid old charmer has plenty of life left and even more potential up its sleeve!
