8/8a View Rd, Blackwood is a 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom House with 2 parking spaces. The property has a land size of 1208m2.
So charming you'll look right past its creaks and quirky blemishes, this cute-as-pie cottage will capture your heart well before you discover the deep potential of its plot and the fully self-contained flat you simply don't see coming.
You can't see Blackwood's buzzing heart, but you'll always know it's just a stroll from the quaint cul-de-sac this tightly-held property calls home, hidden like the treasure it is.
The details of the cottage's history are murky, adding another wonderful layer of intrigue to a home built with a mix of of stone, weatherboard, corrugated iron and rendered block with subtle art deco influences.
As for its layout, it's a simple equation of two bedrooms, a street-facing sitting room, timber-laden eat-in kitchen and bathroom, all bookended by a peaceful front verandah and a rear pitched-roof alfresco pavilion.
The detached self-contained 1 bedroom flat is a more contemporary proposition and features its own driveway, bedroom, living zone, kitchen, private rear garden and one very happy long-term tenant.
Suddenly the possibilities start running through your head. Could you rent out both dwellings to supplement a fair chunk of your current lifestyle? Could you renovate the main cottage or completely replace it without displacing that content tenant? We're just scratching the surface. And it's very exciting.
