You don’t have to break the bank to land yourself a gem of a place with easy value-adding potential.
Here’s an excellent example of a well-priced, tidy property with options for owner-occupiers or rental investors, and it’s in a great location within a few minutes of all family amenities.
It comprises a neat brick cladded/fibro and tile home on an 864sqm block with a two bay garage/workshop and tidy lawns and gardens.
Built in the 1960s, the home is well presented and comfortable, with good-sized rooms.
The lounge at the front has both air conditioning and a gas heater, as well as a beautiful ornate ceiling reflecting the home’s origins.
Next is the sizeable kitchen and dining area, a combined space with good vinyl flooring, sound cabinetry and a gas stove, which presents like new.
At the rear is an appealing indoor-outdoor living space – an airy, enclosed sunroom overlooking the back garden.
Two of the bedrooms are doubles and the third is a good-sized single. While it’s clean and serviceable just as it is, the bathroom – with bath, shower and vanity – is quite dated and would benefit from a makeover. The toilet is at the back, off the laundry, which has a recently upgraded hot water system.
The home is set away from the road, screened by a few water-wise native trees.
A driveway on the left leads through gates to the two bay garage/workshop, with power and space for parking and storage.
The enclosed yard is an excellent playground for young children and pets without demanding too much work. It’s mostly in lawn with established gardens and trees, and space for growing veggies.
As a first buyer, you could live in this home and give it your own special touches as you go. Or if you’re an investor, you could almost rent it out as it is or update it at modest cost first. Either way, if you’re handy with the tools and paintbrush, you could add value for a very reasonable extra outlay.
Primary and high schools are within easy reach and Albany’s CBD is six minutes’ drive away, making this location a winner with a wide scope of buyers.
