A must-view for the 60's purists with its retro-cool original kitchen and bathroom, or perhaps ripe for a reno (STCC) if contemporary décor is more your jam, 3 Arthur Street sure has a lot going for it: a prime coastal-fringe position only 4km to Grange Beach, a substantial 698sqm (approx.) level block size, space to stow a boat/camper off-street, and a brilliant bonus rumpus/teen retreat out back!
To the house first, and the deep treacle-tones of the solid timber floorboards are the first thing you'll spot when you walk in, as they really pop against the crisp white of walls framed by skirting boards and architraves. The footprint is classic for this era; 3 fan-cooled bedrooms side by side, the larger front master with BIRs, all serviced by a main bathroom - this one super cute with its lavender lined tub. Tucked behind a timber slider, the light-filled lounge has the original gas fireplace and flows through a brick framed archway into the kitchen/meals area sporting fabulous timber accents across abundant cabinetry and feature tiled splashbacks.
Not everything has stayed the same over time, and most will appreciate the addition of reverse cycle ducted heating and cooling to complement the plethora of ceiling fans, along with the modern kitchen amenities - among them a gas cooker, and the wall mounted oven and grill.
Out back, a 168sqm (approx.) u-shaped covered verandah with built-in brick BBQ zone and lofty gabled roof over the dining section, wraps around a sunny patch of lawn - offering oodles of outdoor entertaining space. The verandah connects the main house with this property's 'ace up the sleeve' -
a 49sqm rumpus/entertainment room - a space craftily repurposed with the addition of floating floorboards, a kitchenette, WC, and a separate sizeable room, ideal for a quiet kip or as a home office/hobby space.
Whether you relish this place for the classic it is, update, or even explore a complete rebuild (STCC), you can't make a wrong move in this location with city or sea-bound trains only a 10-minute walk away, zoning for top local state schools from R-12, and easy drives to Westfield West Lakes and into town!
