Hoping for a home you can refresh and renovate to be exactly how you like it without compromising on the location? I SO have the place for you!
I always say that there is a lot you can alter about any home, but the one thing you cannot do is pick it up and put it somewhere else - and with this home, you certainly won't need to. Located on a peaceful street right over the road from the Akuna Street Parklands, promising nothing but lush, leafy views and no neighbours opposite, this property could not be more perfect for families and those who enjoy an active outdoor lifestyle alike. And with sports fields and bike paths to the city at one end of the street and Kenmore Plaza at the other complete with shops, restaurants, amenities and bus stops, getting your daily steps up has never been so easy!
Meanwhile, the home itself is nothing short of a golden opportunity to easily DIY your way to your dream house. Built in 1973 out of sturdy brick and tile and complete with original hardwood floors underneath the upstairs carpet just waiting to be exposed and polished up, this home offers so much potential to add value through renovations, particularly with the option to flex the downstairs multipurpose into an extensive dual living setup!
But, don't be confused, the condition of this 4 bedroom home is still such that you can move on in and gradually upgrade the house over time especially given that the sellers have given you a head start with the renovated upstairs bathroom!
The convenience and serenity of this home's location is highly desirable and coupled with the amount of potential on offer, makes for a property that will certainly draw a lot of attention in the current market! Be speedy to view.
