FLOOD FREE IN 2022. Situated in a quiet tree lined street within the blue-chip suburb of Chelmer is this charmingly original 1950’s 3 bedroom plus study home on a level 607sqm allotment ready for a Hampton's inspired makeover. With a beautiful flower laden front garden and a meticulously maintained lawn, the street appeal of this property is undeniable.
The home opens up to a light and airy living area which is provided direct access to the covered front deck with a perfect north facing aspect which overlooks the peaceful street beyond.
Authentically retro, the mint green kitchen delightfully depicts the era in which it truly became the ‘heart’ of the home. No longer just exclusively reserved for functionality, but also design and appearance, with bright colours and an open plan layout. This kitchen is no exception with checkered linoleum floors, formica benchtops, an abundance of storage space and room for an eat-in table and chairs.
All three of the bedrooms contain custom built-ins and ceiling fans, whilst the main bedroom is air-conditioned. There is also a separate study with built-in desk and shelving.
The bathroom is in an original condition with shower, pedestal basin and separate toilet.
A single lock up garage, laundry and additional storage space can be found underneath the home.
Beautifully landscaped with a feature garden surrounding a mature Poinciana tree and plenty of room for a game of cricket, the backyard is both pet and child friendly.
There is limitless potential for this perfectly positioned property. Maintain and replicate its 1950’s heritage, give it a Hamptons coastal inspired renovation, or replace with the home of your dreams.
