Bearing hallmarks of its early 60's origins, which gives new owners scope to value-add with easy interior refits if they wish, 1A Turner Terrace is a 3-bed lowset with plenty of potential, plus it has a surprise package out back in the form of a 36 sqm (approx.) covered timber deck with views all the way to the Hills!
Sitting under the twin fans on this epic outdoor space, cocktail of choice in hand, you'll feel a million miles from everywhere but, in fact, this tree-lined street is only a 5-minute walk to Lower North East Road where buses run regularly straight into town, and supermarkets, cafes and other speciality stores await at vibrant Dernancourt Shopping Centre.
The home's layout has the entry passage distancing carpeted sleeping quarters from the busier social spaces. The latter comprise a tiled lounge with gas fireplace, a combined kitchen/meals area, and a timber floored family living/dining room with glass sliders each end capturing welcome breezes and more Hills' vistas.
Collectively, the main bathroom is a substantial size, but with the shower, vanity, tub and WC, currently housed in 3 separate spaces, you could explore reconfiguring the rooms - along with updating original tiles and fittings - to better capitalise the real estate available (STCC). The kitchen on the other hand sports a fresh look with tiled splashbacks, timber-laminate cabinetry finishes and a dishwasher among its electric mod cons.
Another area with untapped potential is the tiled sunroom, a tranquil glass-enclosed space in front of the kitchen. It connects with the timber decked alfresco patio that feels epically big with its open timber balustrading and a pitched gabled roof featuring exposed timber framing. You can reach the grassy back garden from here and pull down side screens if you want privacy or wind protection.
This home would make a great base for a young family looking for a solid home with potential to further capitalise, and a sweet location close to shops, public transport, parks and schools.
