Breathing space. Near-city home with big backyard.
What we love…
There’s so much to love about this home located at the top end of Rivervale, particularly the rarity of outdoor space on offer; often sought, yet seldom found. Just a short stroll to the river and within easy access to the city by car and key transport links, this is surely one of the best buys you’ll find if you’re looking for a bit of land and greenery between your patio door and your fences. Breathe easily, sit under the patio, privacy assured, rustling trees, and watch your little one play on the big expanse of lawn. What more could you want – a fabulous location and land holding hosting a comfortable, secure 3 bedroom home with open living and lock-up garage for your car. Affordability and life-style assured, perfect for young families starting out, professionals, couples, singles, investors and downsizers who still want to plod around their own backyard without feeling hemmed in. Outstanding opportunity in market like we have today.
What to know…
Here is the opportunity… This property is a duplex, sharing one half of a 1012sqm of prime land (the old quarter acre) with it’s next door neighbour. Although strata titled, its share of land is approximately 500sqm (please note: survey has not been completed of land contained within existing boundary fences) and there are no strata fees.
Another upside is the R20/40 zoning, providing options for re-development and further subdivision subject to meeting local planning guidelines and importantly, co-operation and agreement with the neighbouring duplex. Located on a street with very little traffic that provides access straight on to Great Eastern Highway, this is the perfect place for city commuters and investors with an eye on the future.
Other notable features and benefits include:
- Huge outdoor patio for entertaining or relaxation
- Couple of reverse cycle air-conditioners – one in the living space and one in the main bedroom for heating and cooling
- A warming log fire for comfort in those cooler winter months (plus gas point if required)
- CCTV cabling and cameras - and security windows
- Lock-up garage (with roller door) containing store room
- 122sqm total strata-titled area: 96sqm internal, 22sqm garage & 4sqm store
- Kitchen/dining/living room – open-plan. Gas hotplate and dishwasher
- Good size master bedroom
- Built in robes and ceiling fans to bedrooms
- Electric storage hot-water system and clothes line
- Short drive to Belmont forum, Optus stadium and Crown Casino
- Transport to the city - the bus stop is nearby on Great Eastern Highway just 272m walk-away
- Rivervale Primary school nearby
I cannot think of a more affordable near-city home and better location with this much yard, privacy and space. So, if you are sick and tired of looking at 3 bedroom homes on tiny blocks, within this price range, this one should be right on the top of your shopping list.
