This neat home on a 955sqm block in a convenient family location represents outstanding value and is sure to appeal to a wide scope of buyers from first homeowners to investors to developers.
Over the years, the appealing mid-century cottage has been extended and upgraded while retaining lovely original features such as Jarrah floors and ornate ceilings, and it now presents itself as a comfortable character home to nestle into.
An air-conditioned lounge at the front is the first of three living areas. The second is a family room or playroom at the back (labelled "Dining" on the floor plan), where glass doors open onto the third – an impressive gable-roofed decked alfresco, big enough for barbies with friends and with pull-down shade blinds to regulate the sun and breeze.
There's space for a meals table in the sizeable kitchen, a light and pleasant workspace fitted with ample cabinetry, a pantry and wall oven.
One queen, and one double-sized bedroom are at the front of the house next to the bathroom, and the third is a big single at the rear, near the laundry and toilet.
Jarrah floors shine in some rooms while others have good floor coverings, though these could be taken up to expose the natural beauty beneath. Clean décor and timber venetians add the finishing touch.
For outdoor playtime, the block is a sensation as it's mostly in grass with a few native trees for shelter and character, a rainwater tank for the gardens, low-maintenance garden beds and plenty of scope for green-thumbed owners to grow veggies.
There's also a freestanding double garage and lots of extra parking, and the land is easily accessible for big vehicles as well as providing secure stowage for the trailer or caravan in the gated rear section.
Talking more about the extra land - Zoned Residential / R25 with all services available, this would be a relatively straight forward subdivision with the existing house situated on the Eastern side of the land, with the Western side of the land relatively vacant. This is different to a more common “rear lot battle-axe subdivision” where a developer would need a driveway running past an existing home at the front of a block, to create a block “behind” the existing house. 46 Minor Road has the potential for two lots “side-by-side”.
The home has been rewired in this owner's time and has just been restumped after a Timber Pest Inspection Report completed by the owner in December 2022 revealed that some work was required.
An excellent primary school is within walking distance, and the high school, TAFE and a major supermarket are a short drive away.
The property is well presented for new owners to move straight in or for investors to rent out without a further outlay.
This well-located home is sure to be snapped up by a savvy buyer appreciating its many attributes, character and realistic price tag.
