Blank Canvas - BONZA First Home - Brilliant Investment!
There is a very welcoming feeling stepping through the door surrounded by retro amber glass into the spacious entrance hall of this Greenwood Gem, and a lot to love about this solid, double brick and tile 1972 build. And honest - because there's no cheap renos here to hide the age or condition of this one - it is what it is, and that's an opportunity to get into a high demand suburb with a property that you can easily add value to.
Welcome Home, to 19 Dericote Way - You'll LOVE Living Here, of course, but this is also known in "Property Buying 101" circles as Intelligent Buying!
Everything is functional, if a little dated, and everywhere you look there's the opportunity to make improvements on a budget, because the bones are good, the size of the rooms is great, and the floorplan work well and so a few cosmetic improvements is all that is needed to make this your own until you have the need and the budget for something a little grander (or get your 'developer' hat on)
Walk with me….
As I said, the entrance hall is spacious and welcoming and has two - yes, TWO 'broom and hat' cupboards! So hats, scarves, umbrellas and jackets, and shoes and bags - carrying the workload of the day - can be dumped behind a door on your arrival home at the end of the day, and not picked up again until on your way out the door in the morning!
Step down into your sunken lounge, where the aircon and / or the gas wall heater have turned this room into a comfy cocoon to kick off your shoes and put your feet up!
Up a step is what was (I am sure) the original 'formal' dining room (and has probably hosted many Sunday family roasts over its lifetime) but in this modern day would make a great home office or reading room, or even a kiddies play room just by the way it welcomes the Winter sun through a large picture window and is easily accessible to the original and functional kitchen…
There's a casual dining / family room on the other side of the kitchen, and this leads you out to the patio… the garden is a delightful place to be, and can only be improved and easily making the space into a relaxing 'outdoor room'…
Back into the house and down the hall… The main bedroom has built-in robes and even a "Ladies Vanity" with lighting for getting your face ready for guests… (am I going too far here?) and yes - the built-ins are a little 'retro', but the bones are good - so just replace the doors to modernise! Easy!
The minor bedrooms are without built-in robes BUT, even once you have some fitted will both still easily accommodate QS beds. All bedrooms have ceiling fans…
The laundry and bathroom are spacious and original for the most part but in great condition, and inbetween is the toilet with dual access doors - very functional!
The gardens are neat and tidy, and low-maintenance, there is a single garage and a powered shed and space for more, and the block has subdivision potential (good for the future)
As I've said, this is a great opportunity so please get in touch soon - give me a call now if you can't make Sunday (I live nearby) because now that we have photos and it is obviously not as scary as some have imagined, it won't last….. Best Ever Buying, right here!
So who should buy this home....?
1/ First Home-Buyers with a vision...
Because you understand a bit about property and know that location is more important than perfect, bright shiny and new - you know that you make money out of property you can improve over time as you can, to your taste... this blank canvas is for you!
2/ Investors / Rent-vestors!
This very rentable home on a low maintenance 728m2 R20/40 block is an ideal Land Bank - perfectly located for tenants right now, and with so many options as a development in the future (when building becomes a little easier)... It's proximity to shops and public transport make it a perfect Over 55's Villa development in particular PLUS next door, at 17 Dericote is also available giving a total of 1,416m2.... oh, the options!!!
This is also a perfect 'buy-and-hold' for Self Managed Superannuation Funds with options to cash out in the future
3/ Builders / Tradies..... and Family and Friends of Builders & Tradies...
This is a good home for now, and could be great with a little help from your friends (wink, wink!) and with subdivision potential gives you so many options in the future - simply extend and improve, or bull-doze and develop, again with a little help from your friends
4/ Downsizers!
It's an ok house, but with it's coding and development potential, build your dream retirement x 2, sell or rent out one and live in the other.... great retirement plan! And in such a convenient location, you could ditch the car and all it's expenses! This is living!!!
5/ Everyone!
Sorry, but I can't think why this wouldn't be a good buy for anyone.... so what are you waiting for?

Disclaimer... the above statements about who is the best buyer for this property are strictly the personal opinions of the agent who considers herself to be a bit of a property - people matchmaking expert but there is apparently no legitimate qualifications for this talent... also, she is equally not a qualified self managed superannuation fund advisor so this is also her opinion and not science... Please get your own qualified advice
