18 Baringa Street, Warana QLD 4575

This classic, solid low-set brick and tile home, circa 1980's, has been tightly held by its original owners for nearly 40 years; and in mostly original condition throughout, has lashings of retro-charm on a 546m2 block just 260-metres to beach access and a short walk to local shops and parks.

Across a single level it comprises three bedrooms, two-way bathroom (ultra-retro), separate toilet, functional partially modernised kitchen, formal lounge with built-in bar, separate dining, covered patio at rear, separate laundry, and double lock up garage, double carport, plus side access.

Existing features include split system air-conditioning in lounge, electric upright oven and stove, stainless steel dishwasher, separate shower and bath, built-ins in all bedrooms, fenced backyard (with room for a pool), and lock-up garden shed.

Although a little tired throughout with original wallpaper and carpets, it certainly embodies the character of that era, and is ripe for renovation/extension or rebuild (STCA). Whatever capital works you have in mind, you don't have to worry about overcapitalising in this prime beachside location, one of southeast Queensland's most sought after.

The home itself has good bones and is certainly liveable in current condition whilst renovating, and it wouldn't require a huge outlay of expense to get it rent-ready to return an attractive income. There is an increasing appetite for homes of this vintage, with many renovations still preserving the integrity of the era, whilst modernising to boost value and appeal.

Only two blocks to miles of pristine sand and surf stretching to Point Cartwright in the north and Wurtulla in the south; the dog-friendly section is only 500-metre away, a wonderful outdoor space to take your furry family-member for a walk and he/she will make new friends, and so will you. There is a local shopping village with butcher, fruit/veggie shop, chemist, liquor store, takeaway/fast food, and café, and hairdresser just a few minutes' walk away also.

Access to the Nicklin Way is quick and easy connecting you to Kawana Shoppingworld, or across to the public and private hospitals at Birtinya; and there are local schools within a 5-15 minute proximity, as well as the university.
