Here's an opportunity for the buyer who isn't afraid of a bit of work. Set on a quiet street in the established, family-friendly suburb of Svensson Heights, 11 Barnes Street is a 3-bedroom weatherboard home that needs some TLC to bring it back to life - but the bones are solid, and for the right buyer that's exactly where the value lies. Vacant and ready for its next chapter, it offers an updated kitchen already in place and a workable floorplan to build on.
There's plenty here to work with. A generous living area anchors the home, the updated kitchen flows out to a covered patio, and a versatile study or nursery off the largest bedroom opens directly to the backyard. Outside, a fully fenced yard with established gardens, a storage shed and room to add offers a solid canvas to make it your own. Put in the work, and there's real potential to add value in a location families are always drawn to.
Step inside and discover:
- Updated kitchen with a freestanding gas cooktop, tiled splashback, laminate benchtops, full-height pantry, generous storage and space for a dishwasher, with direct access out to the patio
- Generous living area with vinyl floors, opening to a small screened patio - a sunroom-like spot that makes an ideal place for a morning coffee
- Dining adjacent to the kitchen with direct access to the attached garage - handy for unloading the shopping
- 3 bedrooms - the largest big enough to serve as the main, carpeted with a freestanding robe and an attached study or nursery that opens to the backyard; bedroom 1 with hardwood floors; and bedroom 2 carpeted with a freestanding robe
- Bathroom with a corner shower, corner vanity and built-in linen storage, with a separate toilet in the hallway
- Separate laundry off the covered patio, plus a handy hallway laundry chute
- Attached garage with extra length for a small workshop and through-access to the dining, plus a covered carport at the front and a paved path from the kitchen patio to the clothesline
- Fully fenced 625m² block, solid bones and room to grow - concrete stumps, corrugated iron roof, security screens to most windows, a storage shed on a slab, and established gardens and trees front and rear
Solid, well-located and full of potential, 11 Barnes Street sits just 3 minutes from Shalom Catholic College, Bundaberg State High School and the new Bundaberg Multiplex and aquatic centre, with Hinkler Central only 4 minutes on - central to just about everything. For the tradie, builder or first-home buyer prepared to put in the work, the upside is there for the taking: good bones, an updated kitchen to start from, and a generous block in a family-friendly pocket. Arrange your inspection today and see the potential for yourself.
