The modernisation of this double brick period home has already begun presenting you with the best of both worlds.

The block's full potential has already been unlocked with the addition of a new 7.8m x 5.8m shed, plus an electric gate and carport all accessible from the rear lane. This gives you room for three cars, or a perfect spot for your equipment or workshop.

The heart of this residence is the cosy lounge room, while two bedrooms with new robes and plush new carpeting await you at the front. The kitchen and bathroom/laundry facilities are thoughtfully situated at the rear of the home for convenience.
