House description
“ENDEARING ASSETS IN THE HEART OF TOWN”
Such a central location as to be held in high esteem for that alone, the residence at this amazing address also harbours numerous assets to entice purchase. Original architectural features well worthy of retaining continue to grace an interior in surprisingly good condition. Though these vintage elements infuse period appeal, conversion to contemporary style could be easily achieved with or without inclusion.
Case in point, a central bathroom that to date may have been pretty in pink invites the option of re-enamelling and retiling in modern tones. Surrounding it are 3 big bedrooms that, like the loungeroom, are lined with ornate cornice bordering 9' ceilings. Double glass sliding doors reveal a kitchen-dining room that couples mod cons with character, where a slow combustion stove sits alongside a gas stove. Welcoming a study space or cosy nook for reading soaked in winter sunlight, the sunroom may otherwise make a pleasant place for youngsters to play.
Once revamped to suit your preference, front and rear verandahs plus another adjoining the garage offer alfresco options. Each overlooks a quaint cottage garden worth revival for its established fruit and shade trees, rose bushes, palms, irises, lavender and more. Backing onto a rear lane, access is available to both sides of the block and to the garage.
Literally within a 2 minute walk to a park, primary school and supermarket, plus wealth of local services and shopping, it just doesn't get closer to town than this! At 1 kilometre away, even the train station and nearby bus stops deliver extreme convenience.
Developers, investors and inner-city home seekers better be quick to view this dazzling prospect before it is snapped up by a savvy rival.
