Saint Clair unpolished gem

Auction 31 October, 12:30pm, BayleysMetro office, 311 Highgate, Roslyn, no opportunity to offer prior.
Whether you are looking for a robust rental, a flip, or your first home, this affordable unpolished ruby in a top location is sure to pique your interest.
Beyond the front porch, an L-shaped a wood-panelled hallway leads past a sunroom and separate lounge and connects 3-bedrooms to the bathroom and kitchen.
The kitchen is original and opens to the back porch, storeroom, and large laundry. There seems to be a lot of wasted space in this area and a reconfiguration could be a good way to add value and improve usefulness.
Deco style features throughout such as leadlight windows and decorative ceilings add charm and personality.
The bathroom has been updated and is adjacent to a separate loo which has dual access from the laundry.
All bedrooms are doubles and two have built-in wardrobes.
Being positioned above the road means you enjoy a nice outlook to the North from the sunroom and lounge. The lounge features an open fire, the heat of which is held indoors by underfloor (R1.6) and ceiling (R3.3) insulation.
Brick and roughcast, with tongue and groove floors that are straight and true, plus a near-new roof, the bones seem good. The potential to improve and add value to this property is immense and, because of the position and location, any money invested here will be well spent.
The lawn back yard is a blank canvas, it is private and a nice size.
The investor vendor has decided it is time to release the capital from this property so go for gold!
You are going to absolutely love this location! The beach and Saint Clair village with its trendy bars, cafes, and restaurants is within walking distance; there is an early childhood centre right across the road (how handy would that be!) and you are spoilt for choice for fantastic primary and secondary schools nearby.
This 1940s brickie is a real treasure! See you at the open home!
