Don't miss this affordable opportunity to get your foot in the door as a first home buyer, first time renovator or seasoned developer looking for the next project to flip. A great starter or downsizer in a quiet, central location - filled with plenty of charm and opportunity.
Solid timber decking provides a wonderful place to sit and admire the city views that extend to the Porongurup Ranges in the distance.
The lounge/living room contains a large fireplace with ornate timber mantle that will offer warmth and character for years to come. Dado height lining board details surround the room which has a spacious feeling, thanks to the generous 3m ceilings.
A primary bedroom faces the front of the cottage, benefiting from natural light from a North- Eastern orientation and an outlook across the deep front lawn.
The kitchen is modest with some upgrades already done. The original fireplace has been converted to a clever pantry and a freestanding gas cooker has been installed within the last few years. The original cabinetry base is timber, making it easy for a quick sand back and repaint to suit your style.
The wet areas are conveniently clustered together at the rear with a simple laundry, separate toilet and a bathroom with bath and shower. No doubt you will want to make a few upgrades in this area, possibly extending the floorplan out into the large backyard.
A detached single car garage with auto roller door is positioned on the side of the 511m2 lot which benefits from the use of an adjacent Right of Way access lane along the side boundary.
