Welcome to 88 Forbes Street, a charming character cottage set on a fully fenced 2,125m² allotment in the heart of town. Offering endless potential, this two-bedroom, one-bathroom home combines classic period features with renovations already underway, allowing the next owner to complete the transformation and add their own personal touch.
Recent improvements include restumping beneath the rear of the home and the construction of a beautiful new hardwood timber front deck, providing the perfect place to relax and enjoy the peaceful surroundings.
The established gardens are a standout feature, with mature shade trees, numerous raised garden beds ideal for flowers or vegetables, a large chicken run, rainwater tanks, and a grid-connected solar system.

Inside, the home is filled with warmth and character. Both bedrooms are generously sized with high ceilings, while the master bedroom retains its original open fireplace. A combined bathroom and laundry adds practicality, and the spacious kitchen and dining area forms the heart of the home, complete with a cosy wood fire to keep you comfortable throughout the cooler months.
At the rear of the home, the partially renovated lounge room is ready for the finishing touches, giving buyers the opportunity to create a space that reflects their own style. Throughout the home you'll find many original features, including timber lining board walls and ceilings, traditional timber windows, and an attractive timber mantel, all adding to the home's timeless appeal.
The level block offers plenty of room for children, pets, or future improvements and is conveniently located within approximately 500 metres of the local school, parks, post office, FoodWorks, cafés, pharmacy, and pubs.
