Last Listing description (June 2020)

Set in an ideal location for walking to all the cafes and market-style shopping that iconic Nimbin Village offers, this 3 bedroom character home is the ideal starter for the 'classic home' enthusiast, or the perfect investment property. Currently tenanted by people who love the period nature of the home, they have shown their appreciation and made excellent use of the large yard by planting very lovely and practical gardens.

The home is on a large almost flat block (560m2) without being too big to maintain. Right outside your back door is a delightful rock-edged veggie and herb garden, and the side and front yards are a mix of lawn for the kids, and established native gardens for privacy. To one side of the yard is a single carport.

The circa 1910 dwelling has all the classic features of an authentic post-federation home. The high ceilings and walls are all V-J lined in hardwood timbers, there are casement windows with some french doors and high over-door hoppers, and the floors are polished hardwood throughout. With a semi-enclosed front verandah and now enclosed side verandah, the layout is typical of its era: central hallway with living room, bedrooms and bathroom radiating from it. The former side verandah is now a kitchen at one end, and a dining room at the other, and the former back porch has been converted to a laundry space/mudroom which acts as an entry room from the covered patio out back. The opening to the living and kitchen spaces have been widened, creating an 'open plan' feel to the most used spaces.

Already in good condition with a new roof and in a desirable location, the potential for investors is high. But if restoration and value-adding is your forte, this one's a winner for future improvements. It has a lovely street presence, and many archetypal features to inspire the perfect restoration project into the future.
