In an east side hot spot where new builds are popping up aplenty, it's tempting to imagine what could be created (STCC) on this large 952sqm (approx.) block at 53 Gwynne St, just a 5-minute stroll to Firle Plaza - but you could also move into or rent out the existing 3-bedroom home as is, perhaps while considering further interior updates to savour yourself or to 'flip' this place in the future.
There's certainly much to love about what's already on offer - a spacious single-level dwelling with a charming stone-clad arched façade, big sash windows for capturing natural breezes, a mix of ducted and split-system AC, along with a gas heater in the front lounge and fans in all the beds.
In the tiled kitchen, solid timber cabinetry houses a modern cooker/oven, with a similar-style unit consuming an entire wall in the adjacent dining room. Exchanging the joinery alone in these spaces would create a lighter, more contemporary feel, while the home's all-original bathroom - functional but hardly flash - would benefit from a full overhaul. The property also has a laundry and a utility room with access to the shady rear verandah and a tandem-style double garage.
Out back, surrounding a patch of lawn with a handful of fruit-bearing trees, a vast network of garaging, sheds and trellising could be used for storage, project work and veggie production. Bigger thinkers though will spot the untapped potential here, like extending the house to incorporate a more sophisticated alfresco entertaining set-up or adding a pool (STCC).
Whatever happens down the track, there's no making a wrong move in this walk-everywhere location. As well as the convenient proximity to one-stop shopping at Firle Plaza, it's an effortless stroll to buses heading regularly into town or the retail/restaurant heart of The Parade in Norwood, and there are excellent state and private schooling options close by.
