Perched on the high side of its sleepy street to survey a gum-studded canopy and far-reaching views beyond, this weary colonial style home is perfectly poised to be awoken from its slumber on a 1,419sqm plot that levels out in all the right places.
Weary doesn't mean weak; this solid brick home is as strong as they come, ensuring the perfect blank canvas for a cosmetic reboot that would bring back to life its timber floors, colonial windows and high ceilings.
A simple, but very effective, floorplan places the main living zones in one wing and your light-filled bedrooms on other side of a home that could be expanded in several directions.
Those with even bigger visions will see the merit in a brand new build that rises even further into the sky and widens its footprint on a parcel with ample off-street parking, extensive shedding and boundless garden space to work with.
No matter what you do, nature is always by your side in this secluded Hills pocket that feels worlds away from Blackwood's conveniences, a range of schools, the metro coast and the city. They aren't. The magic of Belair.
