140 Sailors Gully Road, Sailors Gully VIC 3556

Every property tells a story and this compact cottage in Sailors Gully reveals layers of history, of this old gold community and the simple needs and comforts that have come before us.

Having quietly ticked away the decades, the time has come for the property to meet its future. What will you make of the 551m2 corner block? It already has side access from Mouat Street, into a carport and garden shed.

Will you renovate and extend the home, or remove and start from scratch? Of course, all ideas and plans would be subject to council approval.

As it stands, the house has a sweet façade and an elevated front porch. This opens straight into a carpeted loungeroom with ceiling beams and an air conditioner. The lounge is open to the dining/kitchen area, with raked ceiling. The kitchen is functional, with a gas upright stove, stainless steel sink and cabinets.

The bathroom/laundry is also in usable condition. There are two bedrooms in need of some TLC.

The location is walking distance to Eaglehawk North Primary School, and just 1.5km back into the heart of Eaglehawk, with its Star Cinema, Canterbury Park, and vibrant community shopping strip.

The neat and well-maintained garden, front and back, shows this humble home has been well loved. Who's next in line to show it some timely attention?
