Opportunity Knocks with this Groovy Retro
This 1975 home already has loads of character and has enjoyed various revamps over the years, but now needs owners to infuse their own personality into it. The kitchen, study, main bathroom and main bedroom have enjoyed wonderful renovations and work well with the overall nifty style of the home. However other parts are frozen in time, such as the quirky second bathroom and exposed brick sunken lounge with raised wood stove. A real opportunity exists here for someone handy with a toolbox. Yes there's work but think of the fun putting your own stamp on this one.
Medium sized families are well-suited to this home, with 3 bedrooms and plenty of living space, including separate dining room and a shelf-lined study which is sure to please literary lovers. The views from the bedrooms and living area windows are all nature and light-filled so you can enjoy beautiful vistas and visits from local fauna, and watch the kids play while you potter about the kitchen or lounge room. Better yet, grab a cuppa or glass of wine and settle out on the timber deck which overlooks the lawn and bush garden to the National Park.

• Quirky Hills Character
• 1975 double brick and tile

This property is located near Great Eastern Highway so trips up or down the hill are easy!
