70's Retro Chic 4 Bedroom home!
Put on the flares, find the paisley shirt, grab the mirror ball and step right in. If you are "on trend" with the rebirth of the 1970's style of furnishings then this house might just be what you are looking for.
The formal entry, ornate cornices and ceiling light fixtures, textured plaster ceiling in the kitchen, the mirror backed bar and the slatted doors all fit the 70's vibe. Add to that the textured timber bench surround to the breakfast bar, add yellow/lime kitchen bench tops and brown textured tiles and you are in the groove. Then pair all that with blue floor tiles and blue/white wall tiles in the wet areas, add the yellow bench tops in the bathrooms, and "shazam" you are there.
Formally a National Australia Bank house, there is much to like in the design of this 1979 built property. Structurally the home is brick veneer and tile, with 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and 2 toilets. The floor is concrete and the entire home is built on a retained raised area on a 1067m2 lot.
The feature plaster work, the good size living areas, plus the addition of the bar suggests that the bank personnel may have entertained clients at this premises, or at least these features "lean" towards higher end finishes.
There are two choices here. Play to the strengths of the current decor which is largely in fair to good condition, or "go the full monty" and strip her down and bring the property into the 2020's. Regardless, a property of this age will need some attention in areas, but how much you spend will depend entirely on you.

Our vendor is motivated to sell, so this is the perfect opportunity to nest or invest at good value. Buy the house and land for $118/m2. That is way below replacement value. Take advantage of the first home owners grant, and this is fantastic buying.
It costs nothing to look, and we are happy to show your through the property.
