1 Pilcher Street, Strathdale VIC 3550

I'm a big fan of the cream brick homes from the 1960's and 1970's. They seemed to be built to last unlike some of the houses being built these days. This three bedroom family home has been with the same family for around 55 years and it was about five or six years old when they bought it so if the walls could talk I'm sure they could tell us a story or two.

With a few upgrades over the years in the kitchen and bathroom, the home is very comfortable to live in. The verandah at the front of the home has been built in, opening up the lounge area and making it more spacious, providing a great spot to enjoy the morning sun. The kitchen is clean and comes complete with electric oven, gas cook-top, a dishwasher and plenty of bench space. Each of the bedrooms will easily accommodate a queen size bed and ensemble, one with built-in robe.

Out the back on the 933sqm allotment there is plenty of space for the kids to run around in as well as a garage for the car and a workshop for tinkering; both with concrete floors and power. In a highly sought after location, the property could also be the perfect prospect for renovation, extension or possibly even development (STCA). Within walking distance to shopping, schools, child care, medical and public transport. Estimated rental return $320 per week.
