A residence to extend, modify and renovate. A large block of land to develop on (stcc), 1011 sqm. This 1950's home includes cast iron bathroom features and irreplaceable terrazzo flooring.
Situated on a wide street with large nature strips, this property was constructed in the late 1950's, built using brick walls and tiled roof which has been owner/occupied for the past 53 years.
There are two to three bedrooms in the main building along with living room, television room and kitchen.
A classic 1950's bathroom using geometric pattern terrazzo flooring, a cast iron bath and matching basin with pedestal is centrally located in the main residence and offers a great example of the bathroom furnishings of the time.
An enclosed patio makes up the rear of the home and also features geometric terrazzo flooring.
The large solid built brick garage also facing north/south was converted in 1989 for use as a studio/teenage retreat with a self-contained bathroom/toilet featuring ceiling to floor tiles.
Maximising the wonderful north/south aspect, windows provide great light, winter warm and natural cooling in the summer. A grand front lawn and garden surrounded by a slate paving border welcomes you on arrival as you access the cemented driveway to undercover parking.
At the rear of the property there is a large garden area with lawn and ample space for landscaping/terracing to be maintained and developed. This rear garden currently houses a macadamia tree, large frangipani, several almond trees, lemon tree, black genoa fig tree and vegetable garden. The front and rear garden areas offer the possibility for great outdoor entertaining, swimming pool and an extended residence.
As well as being close to the exciting shopping and dining of Prospect Road, there are quality schools within walking distance, including St Helens Kindergarten, Prospect Primary School, Rosary Primary School, Blackfriars Priory and Prescott School. Train and bus routes are also within walking distance.
This land and property represents a lovely location to those looking to be creative in renovating, restoring and extending a classic retro late 1950's home or a large block of land to re-develop.
