Last Listing description (November 2022)

...and your hammer and your drill, in fact your whole toolbox 'cos this one needs some love.

It's a great street, a fantastic block and there's plenty of potential but you may have to dig a little to uncover this diamond in the rough. The home is of red brick construction, it has been extended slightly and has been owned by the same family since new. If you're looking to extend further or even start again, there's 33 metres of perfect northerly flank to work with. You could create your own solar passive dream here and still comfortably live there while the plans are being drawn up and there's no doubt about that.

The block is relatively clear of significant tress and there is only one easement right along the rear boundary which won't preclude any further building. There is also a carport and the garage has been converted to a studio but this too needs some work. The owners have made a definite decision to sell at auction so come, see, buy!

At a glance...

- Extended red brick cottage in need of love
- 724m2 block with big backyard
- 33 metre northern flank offering great potential
- Garage converted to studio
- Quiet street close to the Catholic University. schools and the popular Watson shops
