Originally built in 1957 by an owner builder, who also built several other still standing homes in Compton Street. In that period the family also owned a timber yard which is now the playground for the primary school. This charming, very liveable clinker brick period family home has well and truly stood the test of time; after being lovingly cared for and held in the same family for the past seventy years.
Presented in excellent condition, the home features polished timber floors flowing through an entrance hall to a living room and adjoining open plan dining room with an OFP and contemporary kitchen equipped with premium quality Bosch and Smeg stainless steel appliances. Leading to a rear verandah with adjoining laundry/WC overlooking the garden with ample room for an extension. Two generous double bedrooms with built-in robes share a stylish fully renovated family bathroom. Other features include neatly landscaped gardens, ducted heating, R/C air conditioner and a lock-up garage with rear garden access plus off-street parking for up to three cars, utilising the rare dual driveway crossovers.
Situated in a quiet treelined street in a blue-chip Canterbury area, surrounded by numerous prestige schools the property spanning 527sqm approx. offers the new owners many options to consider. Either move in, lease out the home or possibly extend the home out or out and up to add new living spaces in keeping with today's family expectations and lifestyles. Or new home builders or developers could utilise the level site for the construction of a luxurious family residence (STCA). With exceptional future capital appreciation prospects given its sought after location.
