Auction to be held Wednesday 21st June at 6pm, at the LJ Hooker Canberra City office.

I am always asked for a property that has great bones and a great location, but needs a bit of work. Well sadly the years have not been kind to this much loved family home, but someone who is handy and has the flair of restoration could really capitalise on this opportunity! Remember, diamonds are only formed through a bit of pressure.

Set on an 812sqm block on a quiet cul-de-sac in the booming suburb of Flynn is this brick home with over 200sqm of living under the roof line. The original home consists of 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and plenty of storage. There are large feature windows in each room, multiple, spacious living areas that encompass the centralised kitchen and lead to your backyard and large paved entertaining areas.

A later extension saw the addition of a study and a playroom. This area would make an easy conversion to a granny flat, teenagers retreat or even a home business set up. Either way, the hard part in building it has been done.

Some of the work has also been started for you, including stripping back the bathrooms and some floor coverings to reveal the stunning timber floors throughout, we just need someone who is not scared of a little hard work to realise the rest of its potential.

This home must be sold, so if you have been looking for an entry level home that you can really put your own stamp on and end up with a large, functional, multi purpose home, then this is a must to see. Your standard 3 bedrooms, ex-govvie homes for renovation are becoming more common – however I am confident you wont find anything else like this in the market place so do not miss this opportunity – come with your imagination and an open mind and you will not be disappointed!
