You know that good house in the street that sits empty and you keep an eye on it hoping it will come to market so you can rescue it? Well this is that property!
Positioned across the road from the beach, this brick and roughcast dwelling is in a dream location and waiting for a new owner.
A concrete front porch opens to a short hallway complete with cloak cupboard and night store heater, connecting 3 double bedrooms with bathroom and living.
The kitchen is a 1940s original and overlooks the back yard: prepare meals while keeping an eye on the kids outside, brilliant!
Next to the kitchen is an aptly named sunroom and a separate lounge. It doesnt take much imagination to see how an open plan living area could be created just by the removal of two walls.
The house is oriented the right way, with the living spaces on north side, so your living and privacy is where the best sunshine is.
There are deco-style features in the home such as leadlight windows and feature ceilings which add irreplaceable character. The ceilings are flaking but nothing that a good scrape and repaint wont remedy.
The back porch is where you kick off your jandals and is the bridge between kitchen and large laundry with separate toilet.
On the S-W side of the house, a concrete driveway leads to a 3-bay horse stable: yes, you read that right! Historically this area was a feedlot for stock and in the back yard there still exists the original stables with hay loft above. Today the first of the stables houses transportation that is four-wheeled, not four-footed.
Lets face it, there is some work to be done here but this dwelling has been well-built with the floors still straight as a die, and brickwork and roof looking good.
It has taken a while, but the vendor has now realised that this property really is surplus to requirements, so now is your chance; make the rescue!
Bidding to start in the mid to high $200,000s.
