Dream "do up" opportunity

My vendor said, if he had the time he would get the builders in and get the jobs done, but right now there are just too many things on the go.

His "too busy" status, leaves an opportunity wide open for a handyman or a first-time buyer wanting to get onto the ever-increasing property market ladder at an affordable price.

You need to look outside the box here. This property is a wonderful three bedroom weatherboard home, with a garage and a good size section, close to the A/C baths, school and golf course.

Internally really needs a complete makeover, but the foundation is all here with some hard work and a trip or two to Mitre 10 or Bunnings, this home will be a shining pin once more and right now, property in this price bracket are none existent.

On the plus side, the section is super sunny there is a fabulous fire which keeps the place toasty warm, the garden is fully enclosed and there is a garage too.

So don't delay - get some friends around or make it a family project, Refurbish and revamp and then relax, rent it out and get on the rental wagon or use for yourselves as a first home.

Don't be shy come and take a look, you will see this golden opportunity.
