Perched on the high side of the road behind an attractive picket fence is this mouth watering opportunity to purchase a charming period home in a fabulous location, only a short stroll to Eaglehawk's thriving shopping precinct, lakes, and Neangar Park Golf Course. Available with vacant possession immediately, you are able to choose whether to move in and live comfortably straight away, or take your time to renovate and restore to its full potential.

Set on a manageable corner allotment of approx 597m2, the homes attractive facade and lovely curb side appeal will immediately have your creative juices flowing. You are enticed a decked wrap around verandah, a lovely vantage spot for reading the morning paper. Inside, the home has retained many of its period features including high ceilings, timber floors & ceilings, ornate arches, open fireplaces, leadlight windows, picture rails and decorative plaster work. Most of the original parts remain, and there are some improvements to be made. The bones are well and truly in place - only your hard work and vision are missing!

The current floor plan is flexible, and is one that can be configured to your needs. Weather you need three bedrooms, a study and two living areas? Or four bedrooms? Add an ensuite? Its up to you! At present, three generous sized bedrooms are set up, all with open fire places, ceiling fans, and two have built in robes. The main at the front has an interconnecting room which would easily convert to an ensuite with walk in robe, or can be utilised in its current form as a study or parents retreat. The bathroom is fully functional and has been updated through the years.

The country style kitchen is one of a kind, complete with gas upright cooking facilities, loads of timber cabinetry and wire mesh cupboards, and tiled benches. Two separate living spaces would well and truly service the family. The huge carpeted lounge has a cosy fireplace at one end, with oodles of room for your dining room at the back, adjacent to the kitchen. The second space with timber floors is also sizeable and provides a great area for the kids.
High ceilings and external awnings/veranda's keep the home naturally insulated, but gas heating and ceiling fans control the temperature to a desired level.

Surrounding the home is almost a blank canvas for you to explore your landscaping ideas. Established trees provide a leafy look to the front yard, with garden beds ready to plant out to your specifications. If alfresco entertaining and outdoor living is your forte, there are some fabulous spots to design a sheltered deck or sunny courtyard. The possibilities are endless. Secure off street parking is provided, and a small workshop/garden shed lies at the rear.

So much potential here, this property is ripe for the picking now. Bursting with the character and charm that only lovers of period homes will appreciate, those looking for a renovation project will be delighted with what they see. But don't be put off if you don't like reno's, as it is comfortable to live as is. Don't leave your run too late, as gems like these do not usually last long!
