This is your chance to own a piece of Greenmount history and transform it into a sprawling family haven in the process. If you're charmed by yesteryear builds, this 1930s weatherboard character home offers so much more than all its potential, this could be the foundation for a lifetime of memories. Inside, you'll be transported to a bygone era, where quality craftsmanship and timeless design reign supreme. Jarrah floorboards gleam underfoot, leading you past a grand hallway adorned with picture rails and dado rails - hallmarks of an era when houses were built to last. And plan all the renovations you want, but oh, consider keeping at least some of this fantastic wallpaper!
Three big bedrooms provide ample space for the whole family, while a sunroom bathed in natural light offers a quiet retreat for lazy afternoons spent reading or chatting. You can access the sunroom from each of the bedrooms, making it the perfect place to reconnect with your people and then retreat back to your private (larger than contemporary) sanctuaries. Become someone who receives guests in style in the elegant formal lounge room, or gather all your best folk for intimate dinners in the formal dining room warmed by the glow of the open fireplace. The true country kitchen - the way they used to make them, not the modernised version - awaits your personal touch, ready to be remodelled into a culinary hub that reflects your lifestyle. It's not a secret, there's plenty here to play with if makeovers are your thing, but if there's any home that deserves your elbow grease, it's this historic beauty.

The single carport ensures secure parking and there's an undercroft laundry with extra storage. Zoned R40, this property also holds future development potential (subject to council approval). All located in this jewel of the Hills where there are plenty of surrounding homes to take inspiration from. Here, you're just a quick trip to the local shops and cafes, but when you want to venture further afield, you'll find mountain bike trails, scenic walks, schools, and sporting clubs. Midland is only minutes away in the car where you can access the cafe strip, cinema, endless shopping, and public transport to get you straight into the CBD or beyond. This property is brimming with history and heart. Sure, it may require some TLC to restore it to its former glory, but with a little imagination and love you can transform it into a showstopping masterpiece.
