Under Contract on the Fall of the Hammer! By Jennifer Castle
Under Contract at the fall of the Hammer at the Private Online Auction by Jennifer Castle.
Now this is an opportunity! You often hear about a renovator's delight only to find out it's a nightmare with all sorts of issues. But this townhouse in Mosman Park is the perfect project.
From the street this stately looking property has so much presence. Surrounded by mature trees, this corner townhouse, with the largest amount of garden in the complex, has so much potential, its exciting!
Having been owned in one family for many years. its never been sold before and inside it is completely original inside and is basically a complete gut job. The owner has started the process, removing all the carpet and fixtures so you can see what you're working with. Its not a massive job as the outside is all owned by strata, your only working with the shell. Looking at the other townhouses in the strata, some have polished the concrete floors, others have gone for bamboo, timber or more traditional finishes. You could go completely modern, choose a trendy scandi/industrial theme or go crazy with retro, it's a blank canvas with great dimensions.
The downstairs living area is a contemporary open plan living space. There is plenty of light from the windows overlooking the pretty garden that wraps around the home. You'd remove the shabby old kitchen and there's heaps of room for your dream kitchen with a fabulous island bench perhaps. There's a large laundry which has heaps of storage that could easily double as a Butler's Pantry.
Imagine a floating staircase leading upstairs. Here you have a Master bedroom facing north with a cute balcony also overlooking the garden. A lovely place to sit with a glass of sparkling! There are two other bedrooms on the opposite side of the landing with a bathroom between. The bathroom is a definite gut job but imagine it remodeled, there's room for a full bath if you choose to include one or an double shower.
Out the back is your own covered carport and some properties have installed roller doors. There is another paved courtyard here which is the pace to hang your washing if you wish, but also a cute place to have a coffee.
But its the front garden that makes this place really special. It's private and generous. Being on the corner means only one adjoining wall and a lot green space. The bonus is the number of mature trees, giving you a secluded, private yard, surrounded by full height brick walls. This is a little slice of paradise - or it could be!
What this home has is potential in spades. The potential to take it and make a really trendy, funky space. It could be such a cool pad with the opportunity to add heaps of value.
Situated in a blue chip suburb on a road that goes from River to Sea, an easy walk to the train station, along a bus route into the city, a short stroll to Monument Park Hill and a bike ride to the Chidley Reserve, Cottesloe and Leighton Beaches.
This is a fabulous opportunity to take this shell and turn it into your dream pad, in a blue chip area. It is entry level with potential to create massive equity. A fantastic starter, that could easily become an awesome investment later on. This is not only the Perfect Project, it really is a Renovator's Delight!
