Overview

A Chance to Write the Next Chapter

Set on a generous 1,015m² block, this humble two-bedroom weatherboard cottage offers the opportunity to own a genuine piece of Scottsdale's story. Believed to be more than a century old, much of the home remains in original condition, including traditional scrim walls – a wonderful reminder of an earlier era. The enclosed verandas off each of the bedrooms provide additional flexible space, with one currently used as a craft area. A wood heater keeps things cosy through the cooler months, while a heat pump provides year-round comfort. Step out the back and you'll find the original old laundry, complete with the remnants of where the copper once stood – another little glimpse into the home's long history. The generous block also includes a lock-up garage and two carports, with plenty of room around you. This isn't a polished home, and it isn't pretending to be. It's a simple, honest old cottage that's ready for someone with a little vision to bring it gently back to life. For the renovator, restorer or buyer who simply loves an old home with a story, 71 King Street could be the opportunity to write its next chapter.
