Sun-washed bungalow minutes from the city
'Potential' is an over-used real estate term, but here's a sun-washed bungalow minutes from the city whose improvement opportunities will be glaringly obvious to keen-eyed first home buyers or investors. With its white picket fence and smart exterior, this 1940s home already has street appeal. But look around and you'll soon see how you can add value and create contemporary appeal with hard work and as much, or little, investment as you wish. With its all-day sun, fresh exterior paint and tidy interior, it's very liveable as is, so you can take your time with improvements - or get stuck into a major update straight away. Solidly built for families - believed to have been constructed just after the second world war - this appealing home is sited above the street, on a 796sqm property; offering real space which is an increasingly rare commodity this close to town. Two double bedrooms, bathroom, separate toilet, separate lounge and kitchen/dining room are full of morning and afternoon light with an elevated outlook. An approved log burner in the lounge helps make winter nights cosy and can warm the whole house. Yes, the kitchen and bathroom need updating but are serviceable as is and you have a separate laundry, with access to the back yard. Children can run and play on roomy front and side lawns and explore the terraced back yard with its fruit trees and so much ground to grow vegetables. There are lots of area to entertain and enjoy the outdoors, too, including a concrete patio the full width of the house beneath a clear-lite roof. With such a roomy section, new owners will have the chance to create their landscaping visions. There's loads of off-street parking as well as a tandem garage which has a workshop and access to a huge amount of storage area under the house. The 110sqm house presents in good order, with the roof replaced and the exterior painted about 18 months ago.
