Bursting with possibilities, this delightful character gem on beautiful and tranquil Bruce Street proves that great things really do come in wonderfully neat and tidy packages. Already updated where it counts, the hard work has begun — now it is simply waiting for somebody with a little vision (and some creative juices that are ready to flow) to take the baton and run with it. Cleverly designed with separate living and dining areas divided by the bedrooms in between, it delivers comfort, function and a practical floor plan, complemented by a series of original nostalgic features of yesteryear that are still very much intact. Outside, a sprawling north facing backyard steals the show, serving up shade, sunshine and more than enough room for potential extensions and entertaining dreams you keep promising yourself you will install “one day”. Here, charm and opportunity happily shake hands — and the future looks very bright indeed! Opportunity for redevelopment potential (subject to council approval).
