86 Neville Street, Carnegie, Vic 3163

One of a pair, but with standout, standalone qualities, this solid brick period home is definitely liveable and tenantable right now yet it offers a thrilling opportunity for further renovation and extension. It has a great floorplan and retains many of the features of its period beginnings - high ceilings, stained timber architraves, doors, picture rails and skirting boards in some rooms, plus hardwood floors that are calling out for reconditioning. The home has the classic entrance hall off which is the lounge room with doors to separate it from the dining room. The 2 bedrooms are serviced by a central bathroom; there's an eat-in kitchen, and a laundry. The rear garden stretches on forever (land size is approx 550sqm), providing plenty of scope for extending the house. And there is a single garage. The prime location is close to parklands, reserves, recreation, schools, village shops, cafes and other amenities, plus trams, trains and buses.
