Limitless potential exists in this late 1930's non-heritage-listed home in a prime location, on a generous block of approximately 1,040 m2 with a north-west orientation to the front, situated only a short walk of around 1k to shops and restaurants in Lonsdale Street and the City! It is also close to good schools.
Of double brick construction with a moss covered, terracotta tiled roof, the character filled home would require complete restoration. Full of fascinating original features, such as chimney, substantial door frames, high ornate ceilings with decorative cornice, picture rails through the lounge, hallway and bedrooms, and hardwood flooring, it feels steeped in history.
A dense conifer hedge shelters the front garden, which features a charming circular area of paving. The home has authentic street appeal, although it is clear that extensive renovation would be required.
A glass panelled door opens to the formal lounge, full of ambience and featuring the high decorative ceiling and a fireplace, while carpet currently covers hardwood flooring. Another glass door leads to a north facing sunroom.
An extension to the kitchen is full of light, with a garden window and ample bench space.
The main bedroom features an ornate circular pattern on the high ceiling and built-in robes while the second bedroom also has storage.
Combined with the laundry, the bathroom has a shower over the bath and a separate w/c.
Dual occupancy is permitted on this sizeable block. The large, level rear garden presents a blank canvas for development, in a peaceful attractive street so close to the centre of the City!
