This curious, quirky and characterful property is just oozing potential. Opportunity knocks for those of you who seek a spacious home on a generous corner allotment (1121 square metres) in the country town of Charlton. The soul of this home speaks of Victorian influences with the fabulously ornate three-metre-high pressed metal ceilings throughout the four main and original rooms of the home, with an extension of another two bedrooms having been added in the 1960s. This is a characterful home with a wide verandah flanking the front of the home.
The home offers four bedrooms with the main having an original open fireplace in situ, along with the three-metre-high decorative pressed metal ceiling - very impressive. All the bedrooms are a generous size. The lounge/living room is centrally placed in the home and was once a grand room of 8m x 5m with three-metre-high pressed metal ceilings and a chimney breast that now houses a solid fuel heater. This room has been divided into two rooms, creating the fourth bedroom/study. The lounge is still a very impressive room with potential to take it back to the original size.
Adjoining the lounge/living room is the large country style kitchen with loads of storage options, electric cooking and room for your dining table. Leading from the rear vestibule is the family bathroom with a large walk-in shower, vanity and toilet. Adjacent to the back door is the laundry that has a second toilet in situ (this area is in need of some building/maintenance completion work).
The home has ducted evaporative cooling, a very large split system heat and cooling, and a solid fuel heater to keep the home toasty and cosy in the winter. There's a substantial solar system in place, ensuring reduced energy bills, and there's an economical heat pump hot water service; all appealing features to the energy conscious buyer.
Outside, we find some sundry shedding, bird aviaries and an above ground pool that's been put inground with an adjoining undercover deck area. The front part of the block and the pool are securely fenced, and as the property is situated on a large corner allotment of 1121 square metres, there's good access to the rear of the block from Jenkins Street where there's ample room for further shedding and off-street parking for your vehicles.
All of this is very accessible and so affordable, and the property has enormous potential for the astute purchaser to put their own stamp on it. With a bit of love and some elbow grease, you will have a fabulous property. Don't miss this opportunity to get into the property market.
