The opportunity to secure an original character home North of Murray Street is rare. 25 Skene Street sits in a sought after location, within walking distance to the amenities of Colac and within 600m of Colac West Primary School and Winifred Nance Kindergarten, this is your chance to purchase a part of Colac's history.
The front of the home features a wraparound veranda with detailed fretwork covering half of the house, beginning the federation charm of the home.
Inside there are three bedrooms leading off the wide hallway, all with original picture rails - master with built-in robes and open wood fire place - the lounge room with veranda access, gas heating and much like the rest of the home, high ceilings and character high skirting boards.
Over time the kitchen has received an update and features timber cabinetry, double sink, loads of natural light, wood fire and original brick chimney that houses the gas cooktop and electric oven. The sunroom/dining room is full of natural light and looks out onto the low maintenance backyard which is home to a stunning 30 year old lemon tree. The bathroom - with shower and vanity and ample storage - leads on to a large laundry and separate toilet set at the back of the property.
Out the back is an undercover entertaining area that takes advantage of the North sun and the low maintenance back garden all located on 495sqm (approx).
If you're looking for a home that is central, has original character and lends itself to a fresh coat of paint and perhaps new floor coverings to bring back to life the charm the home has, this one is for you.
