Genuine property opportunities are becoming harder to find. The window closes quickly for those wanting to seize the moment. This brick and tile four bedroom, two bathroom home on 860m2 of land is a rare chance to purchase a home with unrealised potential.
This property was a much loved home for 50 years but family circumstances have left it unmaintained for too long. If you're willing to do the work you could bring this house back to the standard it once was or update it to your own design.
From the large northerly facing front patio with sandstone feature wall you enter a wide hall leading to three bedrooms and family bathroom. Off the entry hall original decorative glass sliding doors open to a large lounge with combustion fire hearth and reverse cycle air conditioning. At the far end, stairs take you up to the quaint loft fourth bedroom with ceiling fan and windows on three sides, including north facing dormer. Multiple built-in cupboards and access to the remaining roof cavity create further alternative uses.
Central in the dwelling is a spacious kitchen equipped with all the necessities including plenty of storage and bench space. Through the kitchen, linking the main section of the house to a spacious second living room at the rear, is a 'mudroom' with laundry, WC and external access. At around 7 x 6.3 metres this extra living space also has a second bathroom, built-in cabinets, storage space and a separate entry, allowing various options including multi-family living.
Include a lock up, drive through oversized garage, 9 x 5m workshop in the back yard, screened 'breezeway' between the back of the house and the workshop, plus there is still remaining yard area, there's a lot to play with.
Yes, this home needs work, cosmetic and some structural and we hold a building report that will help prospective purchasers to judge for yourselves. Positioned in a cul-de-sac yet walking distance to shops and services, approximately 3kms to hospitals, less than 3 kms to Newcastle University Callaghan Campus and less than 10km to Newcastle Beach.
