The home sits behind a classic brick fence under a canopy of mature trees. Lived in and cared for by the same family since 1968, it's an original post-war weatherboard home with a terracotta tiled roof, a covered front porch, ornate cornicing and wide casement windows. The block is deep and falls gently away to a Scout reserve at the rear, giving the kind of backyard that's getting hard to find this close to the city. It's held in original condition and ready for your own updates. This is a genuine opportunity to secure footprint and position in Ashgrove, then renovate, extend or rebuild (STCA) in your own time.
Inside, the front lounge sets a gracious tone with decorative cornices, wall sconces and a ceiling fan. Four bedrooms sit off it, including a master with split-system air conditioning. At the rear, the original kitchen opens to a generous dining area and a sunroom wrapped in windows. Sliding doors lead from there to a covered timber deck overlooking the mature garden with abundant birdlife. Downstairs, a large multipurpose room, a laundry with a second toilet, workshop storage and a tandem garage add flexibility. Beyond them, the level lawn and mature trees make a natural playground for kids and pets.
