Located just 250m to Village, this property presents a fantastic opportunity for you to break into the tightly held Sawtell market. Nestled off the laneway and residing just 100m from the dunes of Sawtell beach, this townhouse offers a truly special lifestyle that you would be hard pressed to beat.
Internally, the first feature you will notice is the 'house size' living area which overlooks a private entertainment area and courtyard. The kitchen, while original, is in good condition and connects to the living area well. There is direct access into the home from the single lock-up garage and separate laundry with a downstairs toilet.
Moving upstairs you will find an exceptionally large master bedroom with a large walk-through robe and generous ensuite bathroom. There is a desirable secondary living space which receives great natural light. Bedrooms two and three are large, feature BIR's and serviced by a main bathroom with shower and bathtub.
Whilst in almost original condition, the home is very inviting and comfortable to be in, with North-Eastern aspect allowing natural light to flood into the kitchen and living room throughout the day.
A key attraction for this property lies in the ability to renovate with absolute confidence, due to the surrounding housing stock holding strong, proven value in market and the key features of the property allowing an incoming purchaser to take advantage of large living spaces, large bedrooms, and an ideal North-Eastern aspect.
There is nothing more disheartening than going to the trouble of renovating when the internal size restricts you in your ability bring to life the renovation you truly want. Luckily, this property provides a fantastic canvas for you to work with.
The outside courtyard connects to a side yard that is 3.7m wide x 25 m and runs the entire length of the home. While established planting and a greenhouse make up a large portion of yard, its sheer size and aspect gives great protection from the Southern weather and Western sun and offers an immense space to create your own dream garden.
For the investors, the property will hold tremendous value for anyone looking with the intention to holiday let or permanent lease. Its proximity to both the beach and village will be highly sought-after by holidaymakers and would encourage high occupancy rates and repeat bookings if managed correctly. It also makes for an ideal holiday house for the times you wish to enjoy the property.
On-foot entry to the townhouse is via Cockbain Lane while access to the garage is via a driveway on First Avenue. There are 4 units in this complex, with Townhouse 4 set back from First avenue at the rear of the block.
