This 2 level character home is set in a prime location only one street back from the waterfront in beautiful Machans Beach. This is a rare opportunity to get into one of the suburb's most highly sought streets for an affordable price, which still allows for funds to restore this home to something very special. The upstairs level offers a blank canvas with original timber floors and casement windows. It is currently set up as one vast open plan living/bedroom space with a separate modern bathroom. The lower level features a recently added modern kitchen, which offers a great starting point to continue the renovation with some much needed "love". Although the home would benefit from being raised, the one downstairs bedroom is legal height. The separate unrenovated bathroom and living area underneath, allow opportunity to convert to a dual living STCA. The home is set towards the front of the block, leaving ample space in the back garden for an extension or a pool if required. Close enough to the waterfront to benefit from cooling sea breezes and to fall asleep to the sound of the waves, this is a renovation opportunity not to be missed. Walk to the beach, the local coffee shop, bar & restaurant as well as the local store with Post Office. Falling into the Cairns High School catchment zone is an additional benefit. Current rental demand & returns in Machans Beach are high, making this perfect for both investors & owner occupiers. Don't delay – Call Chris Marsh today on 0427278473
