Description
Built in 1923, this three-bedroom weatherboard home combines classic character charm with some important infrastructure work already completed. Sitting on a generous 673m² (more or less) section, this 120m² property offers genuine opportunity for buyers ready to add their own finishing touches and build instant equity.
Some of the hard work has been started. The home has been rewired and partially replumbed, and is almost fully double glazed - practical improvements that provide a good base to work from. A heat pump in the lounge provides efficient heating, while the open-plan kitchen, dining, and lounge creates a welcoming central living space.
Inside the Home:
- Three good-sized bedrooms
- Open-plan kitchen, dining, and lounge area

Outside:

This home is honest about where it sits - there's still work to do, and that's exactly where the opportunity lies. The major infrastructure work has been completed, giving you a good base to build from. Whether it's cosmetic updates, or adding your own style throughout, you're buying at a price that reflects the work still needed.
For first home buyers looking to enter the market at a realistic price point, investors seeking a value-add opportunity, or DIY enthusiasts who love bringing character homes into the modern era, this property offers genuine potential to build equity through sweat equity.
The generous section size gives you options - room for children and pets, space for gardens or outdoor living, or future landscaping potential down the track.
