Built in the mid-1950s by the current owner’s father, this solid brick home sits on a 573m² block with dual street frontage. Constructed with a concrete core and brick exterior, it’s built to last and ready to be brought back to life.
Inside are three bedrooms (one of which was converted years ago to incorporate a partial laundry for convenience) and two living zones, with timber floors that hint at the home’s original charm. The kitchen and bathroom are functional but offer a blank canvas for a full transformation — perfect for trades, renovators, or anyone wanting to put their personal touch on a classic home.
From St Leonards Road, a double garage with a mechanic’s pit includes an odd bonus space with a very old bathroom—quirky and full of character.
From Abels Hill Road, a double carport leads to an extensive workshop divided into four sections. At first glance it may look like a maze, but each area had a purpose—one even served as a small barber shop for local men. Remarkable! This layout wasn’t poor design, but clever adaptation for practical needs of the time.
This is a full-scale renovation project, yet the home is livable right now. Beneath it all lies a solid house with great bones, dual access and enormous potential. A property this unique really needs to be seen in person to appreciate it fully. An Estate Sale – to be sold “as is, where is”
