8 Temira Crescent, Larrakeyah NT 0820

8 Temira Crescent Larrakeyah, is a prime location in one of the most tightly held pockets of blue chip land in Darwin. Just over one kilometer from the CBD, the home is located in a great spot on a corner, high on the hill and directly opposite the well-respected Larrakeyah Independent Primary School. With easy access to the school, its oval and also the many other open spaces in the vicinity. The general amenity and lifestyle offered at this location explains the demand for the area. The home is a very solid steel and concrete elevated Civil and Civic construction. Built for the Commonwealth Government, post Cyclone Tracy in an area containing some of Darwin's most unique houses. This home has enough land area to potentially expand, renovate or it'll be great to live in just "as is". It's a rare opportunity to secure this sought after location. The home was constructed with safety in mind and with its strong elevated concrete floor, it creates a very quiet living ambiance. There is an internal staircase to the upstairs living area: 3 air-conditioned bedrooms, a central bathroom, a big living room and an open-plan kitchen dining area. The dining area leads on to an outdoor, leafy deck which enjoys privacy from surrounding properties. The kitchen features beautiful Italian porcelain floor tiles; the other floors in the house are laid with Natural Floor Company sea-grass carpet, some of which requires replacing, or it could all easily be replaced with preferred flooring of choice. Underneath the house has space for two cars, a storage area, laundry area, an outdoor Bali shower, a general living area, a second toilet, and a small kitchenette. There's also an air-conditioned store room which could be suitable for guests or an older child, or it could be used as an office. There is a children's play area, below the outdoor deck, adjacent to the paved back garden. The block is 771 square metres and is planted with native and exotic trees and shrubs, with lawn only on the roadside verges. A special aspect of this home, is its elevated two street corner block with its mature garden, that creates a very private environment. After a couple of decades as a well-loved family home, the property has been leased for some time and whilst the home is comfortable, functional and could be lived in just as it is, most buyers will probably want to do some modernisation of the decor. However the structural integrity and design of the house will also provide the buyer with an excellent opportunity for future renovation or major extension. Please come to a scheduled open inspection, or contact us to arrange a private viewing. This is a rare opportunity to secure a home in the best residential pocket in Darwin and at a minimal outlay for this potential. Please note this home has now been leased for 12 months, until early September 2020.
