Take a trip down memory lane to a time when life was simpler, wallpaper, lime green and linoleum were all the rage and homes were built to stand the test of time. On offer for the first time in more than 39 years, this solid brick home on 840m2 of land has been owned and loved by the one family since purchasing for their young family back in 1983. And with their children (and grandchildren) no longer in Mackay, it’s time to pass the deeds to new owners to continue the love of this amazing location, create new memories and make this home their own.
Presenting vacant and ready for immediate possession, the sellers have gone to great lengths to ensure the property is neat, clean and tidy as is, with everything in sound order. What you do next is up to you. Either take your time to get a feel for the property so you can plan ahead, refresh and modernise bit by bit (for the DIYer, the double garage would make a great workshop) or hit the ground running and give this old gal a new lease of life now – the choice is yours. Astute investors and flippers will see the incredible blue chip potential here, with this area tightly held and always in high demand given the its popularity for people of all stages and ages.
The single level brick home has solid foundations and offers 3 bedrooms, each with storage and ceiling fan (built-in robe and mirrored vanity to the main bedroom), 1 bathroom with shower/bath combo, separate toilet, spacious internal laundry, open plan living/dining/kitchen area, concreted open air outdoor area and a 2-car garage with additional storage/workshop space and internal access. All of this is in original condition, except the tapware and smoke alarms, which the owners have recently replaced.
This is an incredibly rare opportunity to purchase a much loved, totally original early 80s classic in the quiet but ultra-convenient heart of Mount Pleasant, a suburb that is tightly held for good reason given its proximity to the CBD, beaches, waterways, schools, recreational facilities, shops and all services (much of it within walking distance).
Why we LOVE 32 Northview Terrace…
- Incredibly rare opportunity – Homes in this area don’t come onto the market often, so when they do, they are always snapped up quickly. It’s also rare to find a home that has been lived in & cherished by the one family for decades offering so much potential for the new owner to make it their own. The owners have taken the time to pressure wash the exterior concreted areas, clean all carpets, walls & fixtures, plus replaced all tapware & had compliant smoke alarms installed to make the home perfectly liveable now for the new owner
- A snapshot in time. Enter the house via the spacious tiled front porch or via the double garage & you will feel like you have stepped back in time. From the brick feature walls, stained glass windows & original wallpaper, to the lime green benchtops, walnut toned timber veneer cabinets & linoleum flooring in the kitchen, the retro vibe is alive & kicking throughout
- Solid bones. Whatever your plans for this brick home, you can rest assured she has solid foundations & there’s ample space out the back to add covered alfresco entertaining & easy access down the side for machines & building materials etc. And if you plan to make more refurbs, the large laundry offers space to possibly add a 2nd bathroom or toilet. Otherwise you could leave the floor plan as is & replace the carpets, lighten & brighten the walls with new paint & add new drapes etc for an instant facelift!
- Well-established yard. The large, elevated yet mostly level block features plenty of established trees, existing green house, garden sheds & water tanks. Consider it your blank canvas to do with what you will. Possibilities are limited only by the imagination & perhaps your budget. But don’t let that deter you. Secure this property now & you can always take your time to save & work towards adding more value down the track
- LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION! Homes in this portion of Mount Pleasant are tightly held for a reason. It’s hard to find a better area for all-round lifestyle & convenience
