Overview

CHARMING CALIFORNIAN BUNGALOW

Nestled on a generous 1,287 m² allotment, this classic 1945 weatherboard home presents an opportunity to secure an affordable foothold in Rochester - with much of the hard work already done. The property has experienced flooding in the past, and the significant structural works have already been completed, providing a strong foundation for what comes next. Key upgrades include full restumping, a complete electrical refit, a new split system to complement the existing evaporative cooling, a refurbished built-in wood fire, a new gas hot water system, new Securimesh security screen doors and solar-powered security lighting. The Californian Bungalow facade is full of character, with an appealing streetscape that sets it apart. With two bedrooms, and a third room that offers the option as a guest room or a home office. The bathroom features a vanity, shower and bath, while the generously sized kitchen and dining area flows seamlessly into the lounge that features a large bay window with seating and a wood fire heater. A standout feature of the property is the large undercover rear veranda - ideal for year-round entertaining. A shaded fernery adds a lovely garden retreat for those with green thumbs. The expansive backyard is dotted with established shade trees and an existing garden shed provides handy storage for tools and equipment. The old red brick paved area makes a great spot for a gathering around the fire pit. A single carport with a roller door provides secure parking and direct access to the backyard. Situated in a great location, schools, shops, sporting grounds and public transport are easily accessible. With all of the hard work already completed, buyers may like to do a new bathroom and kitchen or just live in the home happily as is. There is a real opportunity to add value with this property.
