Bring your tools and your vision to this double brick home on a big 1219m2 block. Priced to reflect the work required, this is a genuine opportunity to add value, and properties under $300,000 in our market don't last long.
Set on a substantial 1219m2 allotment in a quiet pocket of Orbost, this rendered brick home offers the kind of space and infrastructure that is increasingly hard to find at this price point.
The home requires work, with a structural defect in the front wall that has caused cracking to plaster and paintwork at stress points through the internal walls. With the right trades and some imagination, this property has significant upside for a buyer wanting to add value rather than pay for someone else's fitout and finishes. Fully fenced front and rear (north fence being replaced), walking distance to town, and priced to reflect the work required. [An engineer's report is available on request.]
The floor plan is great, boasting a large, relatively open plan living, kitchen and dining area creating the heart of the home, with the kitchen updated to include a gas cooktop, under bench oven, dishwasher and generous bench and cupboard space. Timber look flooring runs throughout the living zones, and the lounge is warmed by a slow combustion wood heater with split system air conditioning as backup. Glass sliding doors open directly onto the covered deck, making it easy to move between the two.
Three bedrooms are all well-proportioned, with the master a genuine standout at 4.9m x 3.7m and a large front facing window. The bathroom is a real feature, fully tiled and unusually spacious with a separate shower, soaking tub, vanity and toilet, plus a European style laundry tucked neatly behind sliding doors.
Outside, the 13m x 8m deck runs along the rear of the home and is partially undercover, giving you a genuine outdoor room for entertaining year-round. Beyond that sits a lock up garage of approximately 6.7m x 5.5m, a double carport, and a large level backyard with plenty of lawn for kids, pets, a veggie patch or additional shedding.
