Overview

Classic Charm, Modern Style & Room to Indulge Your Hobbies

There's something appealing about a classic 1950s home - and even more so when someone else has already taken care of the renovation. Behind the established gardens and traditional facade, you'll find a home that has been fully renovated and modernised, creating a comfortable, contemporary interior while still retaining the character of its era. The bedrooms are a great size, the bathroom has been stylishly updated and the modern kitchen has been thoughtfully laid out to make the most of the space. A separate laundry adds practicality, while the neutral tones throughout give the home a fresh, easy-to-live-with feel. In other words, the work has been done. There's no need to spend your weekends renovating - you can simply move in and enjoy it. The 661sqm corner block is another appealing part of the package, particularly for those who appreciate having a little more space around them. And with public transport, local amenities and the CBD all conveniently close by, everyday living is made that little bit easier. But here's where things get interesting... Step outside and you'll find a fully renovated studio, giving you an entirely separate space to use however you like. A super 4th bedroom or guest accommodation, a home office, art studio, music room, hobby space, or games room - its use is really up to you. And then there's the garage/workshop. At approximately 16m x 7m, this is a seriously useful space - and one that will immediately catch the attention of anyone with a hobby that needs room to breathe. Currently set up to house 5 cars - you can remove the inbuilt study and take it back to house 6 cars if required! Love your cars? Restore motorbikes? Build furniture? Collect things? Need somewhere for tools, equipment and projects? Perhaps you just want the kind of workshop where you can shut the doors at the end of the day and leave everything exactly where it is. Whatever your interest, this is the space to indulge it. So while the home itself offers the convenience of a completed renovation, the real surprise is what you discover beyond it - a versatile studio, an enormous garage/workshop and a substantial corner block. It's a combination that offers something for a broad range of buyers, from those looking for their first home, through to established buyers wanting a convenient location with plenty of extra space. Classic from the street. Modern inside. And plenty of room out the back to do your own thing.
