Offering panoramic views to the treetops of nearby Linear Park from its expansive front balcony, 16 Linden Rd is a solid brick 4-bedroom home with plenty to offer right off the bat, but, in a location this good, you'd easily add-value by modernising its all-original interior and you might be tempted to explore options to start anew and build your dream home (STCC).
The block itself is a generous 700 sqm (approx.) with an 18m (approx.) frontage, situated on the high side of the street in a tightly held pocket of Highbury with proximity to Linear Park and vibrant Dernancourt Shopping Centre. The home is elevated to capture the views and welcome summer breezes, a driveway gently rising past lawn to meet the double garage, the split-level backyard largely underutilised, bar some fruit trees.
Inside, the house is functional, with the action focused upstairs where, along with the 4 carpeted beds, the master with an ensuite and the others sharing a second bathroom, there's an open plan tiled kitchen/living/dining hub that flows through one lounge into a larger living space, the latter extending onto the front balcony. The bathrooms have retro tiles/fixtures and the kitchen is an all-timber affair, so updating these areas alone would do wonders; carpets could easily be replaced, and there's scope to play around with the existing layout to create more flow (STCC).
Downstairs, a multi-purpose space runs off the garage end, with a games room and cellar on either side; there's a powder room here already, so this level could make a great teen retreat or man-cave. Again, the décor's dated, allowing you to personalise to suit your taste.
If it's a family-friendly location you're looking for, you'll find this spot hard to beat. In addition to Linear Park at your doorstep, you can walk easily to city-bound buses, while top local state schools and Westfield TTP are all only a short drive.
