Champagne views... on a beer budget

Auction Location: On-site. This exciting property is available for the first time since 1951 when it was purchased by the current owners who raised a very large family right here!. As time has progressed they have watched skyscrapers emerge in the city and have enjoyed stunning city scapes in both the day and the night. The children were able to walk to school and had a wonderful life enjoyed the spacious and leafy backyard of 622m2 – which is usable and on the high side of the street. This street is currently enjoying some significant gentrification with renovations all around and also new builds as the existing house is able to be knocked down. (Titles created in 1949 so definitely post-war). The home has timber floorboards which in some rooms would be in very good condition, currently covered by carpets and lino. The house itself sports high ceilings, and is significantly larger than most post-war homes, offering 3 living rooms, 2 of them with views of the city. The property also has a rumpus room/large living room at the rear of the property overlooking the charming garden. The kitchen was recently replaced (2013) with new cabinetry and appliances – including a dishwasher – although with these views from the kitchen window…washing up would not be a chore! There are 3 bedrooms – owners will leave existing wardrobes behind. The bathroom has been renovated in the last few years and wheelchair friendly and there is a separate lavatory. The laundry has recently been moved upstairs, although there is also a downstairs laundry.With a huge appeal to renovators -looking to flip, first home buyers, buyers on a budget looking for a sizeable block of land, land bankers looking to capitalise and redevelop one day, builders looking for a “knockdown” and also investors…we think this is an absolute cracker! Unfortunately we cannot give price guides by law so please do your research by looking under your favourite real estate portal.
