Last Listing description (March 2017)
Step back into the retro past, with this vintage '70s abode; even the burnt-orange drapes are as they were, only a little the worse for wear. The street appeal of this blonde brick home with unadorned concrete patio is understated, as was the style back then; but the potential to bring it into this century is obvious to anyone who cares to dig deeper. Whether you're looking for a blank canvas to transform or, conversely, for an ode to another era, this just may be the one for you.
Positioned to the fore of the block, the lucky, or perhaps thoughtful, planning has resulted in an absolutely enormous backyard, a boon to land lovers. Several conifers, a eucalypt, a liquid amber & a grove of sacred bamboo jostle for space at the front. A massive claret ash, a couple of well-grown gums & a handful of mature shrubs provide the good bones' of the back garden. The grounds are also nice & level for a future lawn to take the place of its current grass & bare soil.
An extra-large single garage under the same roofline could act as an excellent, economical room conversion; there is ample space to the side or back to construct alternative garaging & loads of additional space in which to park a caravan, boat or trailer.
The relatively spacious L-shaped lounge/dining room configuration is characterised by the double doors separating it from the formal entry. Set within their timber framing, obscure amber-coloured, rondel-patterned glass is yet another authentic feature. Solar orientation of the front of the home & wonderful hardwood flooring hidden under the Berber carpet should whet someone's appetite.
All three bedrooms running off the central hallway have the original carpet & window treatments & built-ins. Two are positioned due north. There's also a roomy, solid linen cupboard handily positioned in the hallway. The bathroom verges on its original state, with only a little modification of the tiling in the shower recess. Otherwise, the shaving cabinet, vanity unit & remaining tiling all appear untouched. The separate adjacent WC is par for the course. An average-sized laundry abutting the kitchen offers sea-blue tiling & an updated hot water service.
An expansive, leafy green belt that links to the local oval & Mt Rogers Community School & well into the suburb of Spence should be a boon to young families. A bus stop close by could prove handy as well to any member of the family relying on public transport.
When you visit the ensuing open house, take a careful look at what is occurring in the neighbourhood. Many of the surrounding properties are being renovated, extended or improved upon, so there's plenty happening here; it augurs well for anyone considering this retro magic residence.
