5 Bennett Lane, Kurrajong Heights NSW 2758

Designed and constructed to take in the breathtaking views that Kurrajong Heights is known for, this country-style cottage is overflowing with charm and potential; making it the perfect project for anyone looking for a 'diamond in the rough'.

Spread over three levels, this is the perfect residence for extended or multi-generational families to live together whilst enjoying space of their own, thanks to a selection of both formal and informal living areas, two bathrooms, two laundries and five bedrooms plus a study. The kitchen features a large pantry, gas cooktop & dishwasher and a solid timber benchtop which is perfect for food preparation but also encompasses a casual eat-in/meals area which adjoins the main living area, complete with split-system air-conditioner and slow-combustion fireplace.

The lower level of the home includes a plenty of storage but has potential to be utilised as a teenagers retreat or "man cave". There is also a designated workshop area. Outside, there is a covered verada at the front and a deck at the back as well as a double-carport, off-street parking for additional vehicles (fits a caravan and car) , a swim spa, huge concrete water tank and an abundance of established plants and gardens.

Whilst the home is perfectly habitable, renovations have been commenced but would need to be completed. Fortunately, most of the walls have been prepared for re-painting and thanks to the septic and solar system, the "running" costs of the property remain very affordable.

Other features include:

• polished timber floorboards;
• high vaulted ceilings in the living room;
• built-in wardrobes to most bedrooms;
• a main bathroom with separate toilet;
• panoramic views to the city skyline from the dining room, back deck and main bedroom;
• multiple ceiling fans throughout the home;
• set in a quiet country lane opposite a park;
• walking distance to the Kurrajong Heights IGA;
• 714sqm block (approximately);
• absorption trench septic system (no pump out);
• 5kWh solar panel system;
• 5 minutes to Kurrajong North Public School & 12 minutes to Colo High School; and
• Only a short drive to the cideries, restaurants, orchards and cafes of Bilpin.

Usually, properties of this size and with these views have a much higher price tag. This property gives the new owners a chance to add their own touches and increase the market value at the same time.
