'Country In The City': Reap The Rewards As You Modernise At Your Own Pace!
This solid double-brick character home is perfectly nestled on a sprawling half-acre allotment, offering the ultimate retreat for nature-loving families, those who like a little extra room to spread out, perhaps build your dream shed, or those looking to downsize from larger acreage without losing their sense of freedom and privacy.
Built circa 1920, this spacious home is in great condition for its age. So well loved and tended over the last 22 years by the current owners - it is not just a house, but a home. Very liveable as-is, the home has many beautiful original features and is ripe for further modernisation, (eg. the roof has some peeling paint and rust). This is the ideal time to buy a property such as this - and reap the rewards as you modernise and upgrade at your own pace over the years.
