Last Listing description (April 2025)

Situated at the quietest end of St John Street, only a moments' walk to the heart of the CBD, Charles Street caf precinct and LGH, this low maintenance property has been lovingly maintained and designed to suit a range of lifestyles and purposes.

The street pedestrian access offers entry onto the porch and into the living space through French doors and immediately imparts the bright and welcoming atmosphere this property provides. The built-in window seat with additional storage is the perfect spot to enjoy the morning sun, whilst the generously proportioned rooms offer plenty of spaces to enjoy. The kitchen has abundant storage space and overlooks the living and dining.

Down the hall, two of the three bedrooms provide ample storage solutions - one featuring a walk-in robe and the other equipped with built-in wardrobes. Conveniently located near the central bathroom, this space is complemented by a study and a dedicated laundry area. The laundry also offers direct external access to the garage and low-maintenance yard for added practicality.

Detached from the main dwelling, yet under the same roofline, the studio is accessed via the sunny front porch. With its own bedroom, kitchenette, and bathroom provisions, this space offers incredible flexibility - ideal for potential dual tenancy (STCA) or multi-generational living. The adaptable floor plan provides a range of possibilities but can also be easily converted back into a single dwelling if desired.

The front outdoor patio offers an ideal space for entertaining, while the versatile floor plan provides endless options for both owner-occupiers and tenants. Featuring a single-car garage and additional parking accessed via James Street, this property is perfectly suited for inner-city living or as an investment opportunity.
