Open by Appointment Saturday 9th August. When I was writing this piece, I sat for an hour thinking of all the words you could use to describe this lovely place, but in the end I decided that it is so special because it feels like a home should feel. It has rich, warm, character filled undertones that you could just soak in for hours that no photos can quite capture. It just feels GOOD. Its got character, charm and "cuteness" by the bucket load.
I also reckon this is one of the prettiest blocks of land in town. If you are going to live in a beautiful place like Serpentine, this is EXACTLY the type of property that will make you feel like you made a true escape from the city. The crazy thing is, its less than 400 grand. Maybe we should put the price up. Maybe you should buy it before we do!
Located right in the heart of town just 100m from everything and set well back from the road, your new half acre property comprises a 1950's built 2x1.5 with sleep out, a garage, studio and the bonus of rear lane-way double gate access.
Walking past the Aussie Flag and flagpole, you enter the home through the cutest of covered porches. Stepping inside the big entrance you will be charmed by the separate and spacious lounge complete with fireplace, high ceilings and wood floors. Also off the hallway are a good old fashioned kitchen / diner for family mealtime complete with functioning Metter's Stove and a new modern oven and 2 very BIG bedrooms serviced by a central bathroom.
Out back, there is a big sleep-out complete with "ensuite" comprising a shower, toilet and washbasin.
Over the last few months, all the electrical work has been looked at and repaired. Apart from the new stove, there is new electric hot water heater and the outside has been significantly improved as well.
Indeed, this half acre of land anyone would LOVE to get their hands on. Around the property, little treasures can be found everywhere. An old fashioned laundry and wood store, a quaint little artists studio, a big workshop. Little nooks and crannies around the trees make for great seating, relaxing and BBQ'ing. A small patio stands towards the front and a BBQ / conversation area is the perfect place to enjoy the relaxed surrounds.
The rear fence and double sliding gates have been fitted so you could even take your ride-on lawnmower straight to the local without breaking stride!!
Its got town scheme water but you also have a big new water tank to get the good stuff.
If you aren't that familiar with Serpentine, it is a wonderful little country town just a short drive to Byford It has all the facilities - primary school within walking distance, lovely parks and playgrounds, pubs, shops, golf club and pony club are all within easy commuting distance but even better, its got a fantastic sense of community.
The owner would be very keen to rent back for a while if possible.
Yes there is more renovation work you could do which would make it even more spectacular, but could you just live in it and enjoy it as is right now? Absolutely!!!!
I can show you this home by appointment, simply call - no home opens sorry. I look forward to showing you all it has to offer and to helping you make your escape today!
