FOR THE BUYER WHO WANTS TO DO THINGS

REMEMBER WHEN homes had wrap-around sleep outs, high ceilings, carpet squares and lots of stand-alone wardrobes? Homes where an electric refrigerator and freezer combo looked out of place and Grandma still referred to it as her icebox? Yes! Grandmas home is for sale. Unspoiled by time; you can stand at the front door and literally turn back the clock!

Once in a while we list a home with heart and history. When you walk in the door you feel this was a family home of generations! The reason: A centenarian has just moved out! Her lifetime of cherished, treasures have been lovingly stored and shared by her family. What remains is her home for the next generation of owners who can see the potential and possibilities.

This is a home filled with nostalgia waiting for the old-time roominess, original features and nooks and crannies to be converted for your lifestyle. While it has been a long time since Number Two Perkins felt the coolness of fresh paint, or contained the fragrance of large family Sunday Dinners, your presence could be the finest music this olde home has heard in so many years.

When you have explored the quirky inner heart of this home, on its sometimes hidden original floorboards, the back stairs connect the upstairs fernery to the backyard, with its lush greenery of pots, plants and massive staghorns a serene space to stoll and relax.

Being on a corner 663m2 block, and only two houses from the Sandgate waterfront, this home is in a much sought after position. For the young family, or visiting grandchildren, the swings and park across the road and on the waterfront are added attractions.

While you could be comfy-cosy, as is, with your creative touch, the options of fully renovating, building on or rebuilding are there for the offering. You decide!
