The original soul shines through this cosy cottage which has been loved for 18 years by the current owner. He has found inspiration to write books here and is now giving you the opportunity to move in and do what inspires you with this property. Ideally set facing north to the rear and on a generous, flat block of 643m2 of valuable inner north land, all savvy investors, developers and renovators who understand these values will not want to miss this offering.
The kitchen is original but roomy with space for eat-in dining and overlooks both the front and rear yards. A decent sized lounge room is serviced by a gas heater with sliding doors to the rear patio and out to the large tranquil rear yard. The three bedrooms are of generous size and offer outlooks to the garden.
Overall the brick veneer home offers plenty of opening for you to add your own touches and renovate, or given the location, you might consider utilising the superb block to extend the existing home, or re-build.
