A touch of character does not come much more affordable than this. This family home is in a thriving area between the city and the inner north. Positioned on a large allotment of approximately 820 sq m, this lovingly renovated1950's austerity home offers an outstanding opportunity for first home buyers or for astute investors. The home comprises of 3 generous bedrooms, an updated bathroom and kitchen with dishwasher, gas cook top and oven. The kitchen overlooks an expansive open plan living and dining area, that takes advantage of the large windows that allow plenty of natural light in to the heart of the home. While the home has the “cottagey” character of a well-preserved austerity house, stylish alterations, polished timber floors and a fresh coat of paint mean you can move straight in and enjoy a clean, contemporary feel suitable for today’s busy lifestyle. With a functional open plan and thorough insulation, the house is cheap and easy to heat and cool with recently installed gas heating and refrigerative air conditioning. The deep allotment includes a spacious carport and an open pitched pergola/shed which has the flexibility to be used as an entertainment area or play space, or even for parking extra cars, a boat or a caravan! Overlooking an attractive, spacious lawn, there are plenty of areas to dine, play or relax. At the rear of the garden is the property’s best kept secret. Currently in use as a printing workshop, an expansive, fully insulated, powered shed with a mezzanine provides a huge tspace for work, play or storage. Polished concrete floors, north-facing clerestory windows for winter warmth and crisply painted cladding make this far more than a shed – rumpus? Teen retreat? Small business? Pool room & bar? You choose! The established waterwise cottage garden combines natives and classics, productive fruit trees and herbs, and is easily watered with extensive dripper systems. With an inbuilt sandpit, established shrubs and open lawn space, it provides an adventure playground for kids! For country living minutes from the city, it doesn’t get better than this. This home is less than 8km from the CBD, and moments from public transport, shops and good local schools (with Roma Mitchell Secondary College a few minutes’ walk away). Invest in a redevelopment opportunity with plenty of immediate rental potential; buy and move in for quality of life; or revamp, extend and make it your own!
