Set on approximately 847sqm, this single-level home presents a compelling opportunity on a generous parcel of land, ready for someone with vision and imagination.
Much of the interior remains original, leaving plenty of scope to renovate, modernise and make it your own. The spacious living room features a gas heater framed in brick and flows through to the dining area and timber kitchen with dishwasher. Strip back the carpets and wallpaper, sharpen the finishes and you could completely change the style while retaining the substantial dimensions. Three bedrooms are served by a smartly refurbished bathroom tiled from floor to ceiling, giving you a glimpse of just how good the rest could look with similar treatment.
At the back, a large sunroom spans almost the full width of the house, creating a flexible living zone with a direct connection to the backyard. And what a backyard it is. There is room for kids to run, gardens to grow and gatherings around the gazebo, plus a separate workshop beyond. The long driveway and garage with an adjoining kitchen provide parking for up to four cars.
Move in and gradually update and/or extend, lease it while considering your next move, or investigate the possibility of redeveloping the block with two homes or adding a second dwelling for multigenerational living or rental income, all subject to council approval. The bones are here. The land is certainly here. What happens next is where it gets interesting.
Zoned for William Ruthven Secondary College and William Ruthven Primary School, with both a short walk away, it is also close to Ruthven Station, upgraded Reservoir Station, buses, Reservoir Village, JC Donath Reserve and Edwardes Lake Park, with Northland Shopping Centre and the Metropolitan Ring Road within easy reach.
