Make no mistake, this home does need renovation but the weatherboard exterior, ornate plasterwork, hardwood timber construction and 1950s charm lend itself to just that.

Built in 1956 by Fred Haines as his family home you can tell the construction of the original house was of a high quality. Upstairs offers 3 bedrooms all with existing space for built-ins, and a single bathroom. The lounge room is spacious and the small room adjoining would be perfect as a home office. The flooring in the dining room and kitchen area has already been polished and looks amazing – giving you a taste of what is possible with some improvements. Some people will want to leave the kitchen in its current location but with the removal of a small wall you could create a massive open plan kitchen/living/dining space that would really increase the homes livability and value.

Downstairs is a mix of garage and storage space, a rumpus room with study adjoining, bathroom facilities (not currently operational) and a large laundry. The 513sqms block enjoys side lane access which would be a dream for anyone looking to install a shed.

Pest & Building Reports have already been completed and are available for your perusal. At $115,000 under the current median price for the suburb there is a lot of scope for savvy buyers to add value here.
