This 1,018sqm property is a perfect example of what having broad market appeal looks like. Beautiful easy-care gardens really accentuate the street appeal of the most attractive, modern brick veneer home. But it's the view from above that reveals that this seemingly humble home, actually offers more than might first meet your eye. 10 Dove Court could really assert itself and reveal its inherent value…given the opportunity.
"Wealth" and "value" are words chosen to deliberately elicit thoughts of financial rewards for whoever is fortunate enough to secure the property. The wise however, will also see the wealth and value proposition in terms of improving lifestyle, and in terms of philanthropy. They will see an opportunity to use their means to do some good and be rewarded personally, as well as financially. So, what does this look like?
Well, what comes next for number 10 is up to you and your goals. Perhaps you will seek council approval for a two-lot subdivision, dividing the property down the middle. Remove the cream colorbond fence and gate from the street frontage, and re-use the same materials to fence down the middle boundary.
You may choose to sell the block, retain the house and pay down your borrowings or return some cash to your bank account. Or you may live in the existing home while you obtain council approval and build a new home to your exact specifications; and then sell or lease the original home.
Alternatively, you may decide not to subdivide and instead retain the property as one title, but seek council approval to build a second home as a dual occupancy arrangement. How special to have grandparents living next door to the family home. Or family members living alongside each other to provide support for the (semi-)independent living and care of a dependent loved one.
Or you might just be excited to see space for your family and pets to live and grow! Space that with council approval could possibly have the addition of a shed, pool, play equipment and ball game surfaces etc. While knowing that in time you can pursue the option of subdivision or dual occupancy as your preferences and circumstances change.
A wedge of bushland reserve screens and buffers the property within the quiet neighbourhood. There is access from Dove Court to the broader California Gully Bushland Reserve for nature walks, bike riding, play and fresh air.
Generously proportioned, the main bedroom has a walk-in robe, ensuite and ceiling fan. It enjoys extensive sunlight and natural warmth via three large windows. The two other bedrooms and bathroom are clustered around a hallway to the laundry. Both bedrooms have built in robes and there is a large linen press.
An open plan kitchen, dining and family room is simultaneously spacious and cosy! Large windows and a sliding door connect the indoors seamlessly with the outdoor living and entertaining area. The space is an incredible 10m long by 5.5m wide and is fully sheltered by a pergola which features a really visually appealing pitched middle section.
There is provision for extra off-street parking on a gravel surface beside the concrete driveway into the double garage. There is direct internal access from the garage and onto the entertaining area. There is a cost-reducing solar system, ducted gas heating and evaporative cooling. The rear garden shed measures 3m x 6m, there are raised and plumbed garden beds, an irrigation system and a 2.3m x 2.3m deck.
This is a superb example of contemporary living and versatility. A property that is ideal for the entire spectrum of buyers, in a really lovely, peaceful and attractive neighbourhood.
