72 Clanwilliam Street, Blackheath NSW 2785

This is an amazing opportunity for the savvy renovator to purchase in an unbeatable location - period houses on blocks of a quarter acre are rare this close to the village. The property is a time-locked charmer that will greatly reward some major TLC and a 21st revamp. With an extra wide frontage, it graciously presents to the street with a classic asymmetrical Federation faade, bull-nose veranda, deep profile weatherboards and a period stairway entry. The sheltered front porch takes in the lovely aspect, perched breezily above the street and overlooking the Leichhardt St reserve and Jubilee Park. The house is in remarkable shape despite little refurbishment (besides a tin roof replacement) in recent decades. Interior character features include timber lining boards throughout most of the house, high ceilings and the original chimney. The length of the house faces north and flows out to a level, spacious backyard - just dream of the great potential for re-designing the back of the house whilst retaining the period frontage. There are great possibilities for an extension for a family living area flowing out to the sunny garden. Several rustic buildings dot the level backyard, including an nostalgia-inducing Aussie-style work shed and a double garage shaded by a magnificent Eucalyptus gullickii.
So... if you have hankered to live within a stroll from town and are up for adding a modern touch to an early 20th century Federation weatherboard, such a classic Australian, then this is a golden opportunity.
