Priced to sell is this pretty as a picture, one owner since built, 1940's solid brick stone fronted home. Seldom do original properties like this present so well for sale, and you will just love the authentic Art Deco feel of this charming home. Beautifully maintained by its owners over many decades of fantastic family enjoyment, this home has a lot to offer a modern family looking for all of the good things of an earlier era, with the potential to live very comfortably whilst bringing the property a little more up to date perhaps. Not to say the home hasn't many modern comforts already, for instance over the last couple of years the home has had a quality solar hot water system and a 1.5 kva solar power generation system installed, roller shutters were fitted and the kitchen was modernized in recent years as well. The potential of this well located home is immense, with possibilities for further tasteful renovations evident. Featuring a wide and attractive entrance, 3 bedrooms (master with delightful sunroom ensuite), and bedroom 3 being more in the "sleepout" tradition, an air conditioned and heated formal lounge, modernized central kitchen with eat in "family gathering" area, an immaculate original bathroom that is just so retro that it would almost be a crime to replace, plus a rear porch area adjoining both the third bedroom sleep out on one side and the laundry and toilet on the other. Whilst not a huge home in keeping with the austere mid 40's construction era, there is loads of potential for extension (stcc), with the delightfully old fashioned rear garden area being quite spacious. A fabulous solid brick "potting shed" is nicely placed in the garden adding true character and some real history as it is where the owners lived whilst building the home in the 40's. It would make a fantastic teenagers retreat or extra leisure area that could be used for all manor of hobbies or pass times. There is much more to like about this home that requires a visit to take in. Put it on your shopping list if you have the ability to see real potential and value for money.
