Yes, it’s a fairly original 70s home with the typical layout of its era. There’s no surprises there but that golden rule of real estate still holds firm. Buy location first. And a brilliant location it is.
Firstly, you are literally metres away from the thriving Porter Avenue shops. Secondly the proximity to a multitude of schools such as Christian College, Bellaire Primary and Clairvaux Catholic just to mention a few. It is also a short run down to the Waurn Ponds Shopping precinct one way and the Bellevue shops the other.
Now you’re convinced on the desirability of where it is lets look a bit more at what it is. As mentioned, it is original, so the benefit of this is you’re not paying for someone else’s half-baked renovation. The price truly reflects this, making it an entry level home for this area ideal for perhaps your first home or investment. As an investment, it would let out fine as it is and fetch around $400 per week. Naturally, any updates you may undertake would only add to this figure.
As a first home, it is very liveable as is but would lend itself to your personal touches over time.
So with the price being right and the position perfect, there’s only one thing left to do.
Make it home.
