9 Koala Crt, Orbost VIC 3888

Calling all investors, tradies or first home buyers! Here is an opportunity to purchase a cheap, fixer upper. Just bring along your tools and paint and give the home a much needed face-lift, a chance to put your own touch and style on the property and make it yours.

The three-bedroom home is located in a quiet court location (599m2) with rural views to the rear. The home has a good-sized lounge leading into a galley kitchen and adjoining dining area. There is a large master bedroom with two entrances, one from the lounge and the other from the hallway. The other two bedrooms are placed near the two-way bathroom and separate toilet and laundry.

The property is fully fenced with a spacious backyard and has a small garden shed at the rear of the property. The exterior of the home has shadow-line fibro, tiled roof, aluminium windows, screen doors and concrete stumps. It's a solid home that needs some TLC with some repairs such as broken glass in some of the windows and the split system air-conditioner needs to be fixed as well as repainting the inside walls. Under the existing floor coverings are timber floorboards which would come up a treat for the new owners.

This property could be that bargain buy you've been looking for! Once you do the repairs and face-lift to this home it would be ideal as a rental property as there is a strong demand for this type of home and there is limited stock on the current rental market. Potential rent could be around $300 per week providing a gross return around 7% (based on purchase price plus stamp duty). Alternatively fix it up and make it your new home, the choice is yours!

Orbost is a welcoming community with lots to offer such as primary and secondary schools, police and courthouse, banks, supermarkets, cafes, restaurants, hotel, Orbost Club Bistro, post office and a variety of gift and clothing shops. Forest park is nestled on the Snowy River and is a great spot for passing tourists to stop for a rest and maybe take a stroll to the famous Slab Hut for information of the area. There is the local Arts Timber Exhibition Centre nearby and also Sailors Grave Brewery, great spot for a drink or two. Orbost is a quaint rural town but it is still only a fifteen minute drive to the coastal town of Marlo or around a forty- five minute drive to the popular tourist destination of Lakes Entrance for more surf beaches and the Gippsland Lakes.
