Buyers guide: $1,150,000+
If you’ve been waiting for a home with character, an outstanding address with elevated outlook and enough potential to make your Pinterest board excited, this is it.
Tucked away in a picturesque, tree-lined loop street just moments from parkland and nature reserve, this largely original 1960’s home is ready for its next chapter. Whether you’re a renovator with big ideas, a growing family chasing location, an investor looking for opportunity, or someone who wants to be the hero in a good before-and-after story, this one deserves your attention.
Set on a desirable (747m² approx) block in one of the area’s most sought-after suburbs, the home offers three well-sized bedrooms (two with built-in wardrobes), plenty of natural light and all the nostalgic charm you’d expect from a home that’s proudly stood the test of time.
Step inside to discover a spacious living area complete with original cornice detailing, original cedar feature wall and large windows that let the sunshine in. Wander through to the dining room and delightfully retro circa-1960s kitchen, where you’ll enjoy views over the established backyard. Thanks to the home’s rear elevation, you’ll also enjoy a lovely outlook beyond.
The original bathroom is serving vintage vibes with its colourful classic tiles and bathtub, whether you preserve the nostalgia or start fresh is entirely up to you.
Outside, the generous backyard offers a myriad of possibilities. Extend, entertain, create the ultimate garden oasis or simply give the kids and pets room to roam.
With a detached garage and an unbeatable walk-to-everything location, you can leave the car at home and stroll to local Hughes shops, cafés, popular schools, public transport and community amenities with ease.
Move in and modernise over time, renovate into your dream home, or explore the potential to knock down and rebuild (STCA). However you picture the future, one thing’s for certain, the opportunity here is too good to ignore.
Bring your imagination. Roll up your sleeves. This is where the magic happens.
