1012SQM OF INCREDIBLE VALUE

This is some kind of opportunity! Remarkably close to everything, and when I say everything, I really do mean, well, pretty much everything…
It's close to supermarkets, schools, cafés, the gym, the library, the train station, the bus stop, the other café, the post office, the restaurant, the fast food, the other other café, the river, the park, and the other park, plus anything else I left off the long list of things that this place is close to.

It's a quarter acre, that's 1012sqm, that's well over two of your average modern suburban blocks. This is some kind of space!

CAN I SUBDIVIDE IT?
Not yet. The area is not on deep sewerage so, at this point, no. Eventually? Probably, but no one knows when.

CAN I JUST ENJOY HAVING A MASSIVE BLOCK?
Yep! No rules against that. (Subject to further government intervention)

INSIDE
Three bedrooms, one bathroom, lots and lots of 1960s stylings, but not the bad ones, the good ones. It has the original floors underneath the current vinyl and there are a number of elements of this home that have not been touched for many, many years. The skirting boards and doors are all still the original timber and they have so much character and charm.
It's really an impressive run to have gone this long without some numpty getting rid of it and painting it green or purple or whatever it is people decide to do when the renovate under the influence. The only influence you'll be under here is the intoxicating smell of mothballs. Yes, this really does have that traditional grandma style going on. There is so much you can do with this style to enhance it and make the most of it. Come and have a look and just see the great opportunity that exists here.

OUTSIDE
It's that traditional Australian style with the house towards the front of the block and then side access down to the single brick garage at the back. The access is easy, the space is plentiful. You can make so much use of it, you know what your lifestyle demands, look at how it will fit. There are established trees out here providing beautiful shade. It really is the kind of garden that every kid dreams of growing up with.

WHERE IT IS
We've already been through the long list of stuff it's close to, but this is at the entrance to Clifton Hills, it's walking distance to so much, and all of the things I mentioned on that list are within 750m of your home.
