Renovate, refurbish, redevelop - or do nothing at all except move in! This one has plenty of options, plus location, location, location!

Built c.1914, the house was changed dramatically c. 1973 when the deft touch of an architect turned the weatherboard cottage into a funky family home. False ceilings were built but are easily removed to increase the ceiling height by approx a metre. Interesting design features were added, and the scene was set (with minor changes) for the years to come. Today the home has a pleasing retro feel that could easily be retained. Just freshen the décor and there's lots of livin' to do here. Of course you may choose to renovate or to return the house to its period beginnings. There's ample scope for that. Alternatively, the allotment of approx 6,570 sq ft / 610 sq m would make a great redevelopment site.

The sitting room has a pleasant aspect of and direct access to the private front courtyard, while the open-plan family room - featuring slate floor and a galley-style kitchen - overlooks the pergola-clad outdoor entertaining area and the sizeable, private, plant-fringed garden with soaring specimen palm tree.

The master bedroom has twin BIRs, an ensuite, and a couple of steps up to a parents' study/chill out area. Bedrooms 2 and 3 have BIRs, and there's a dual accessed family bathroom. *Note: ducted heating; off-street parking for 3 cars - 1 in the carport
