In the heart of Mount Morgan, between the CBD and the Hospital you will find this piece of history, hoping to hero, perfect for preservation. This 3 bedroom house started it’s life as a lowset, the downstairs built first. Then, as the family grew up, so did the house.
Upstairs you will find 3 bedrooms, a large 2 sided sleepout, grand lounge space & a kitchen/dining room and toilet. The walls are reach to the sky, sweeping your eyes upward with their 3.5 metre lengths of vertical tongue and groove walls, counter balanced with some horizontal ones spanning the grand near 12m² to 14m² bedrooms.
Downstairs there is a tandem carpark that is nearly fully enclosed, the laundry, a workshop/storage space and the bare bones of a bathroom. There is also a vast area that is open air but completely undercover from the house above.
The 1/4 acre block is fully fenced, with a natural watercourse that runs across the far end of the backyard. There is a retaining wall that creates a raised garden bed across the northern most side of the block which would happily suit some veggies. An old but appears fully functional rain water tank is at the rear of the house, which is most desirable in this longwearing drought we’ve been having and helps subsidise the town water that is always on supply.
Unfortunately the termites have come up a few of the posts in the bathroom and had a bit of a nibble inside, across one wall. However, a pest inspections has shown they nothing live currently making an appearance and while some damage has been done to some of the softer timbers, it does not appear they have done significant structural damage.
The kitchen is also a little bare bones for the current trends and the bathroom wants moving upstairs to be a more family functional utility space but all these things are fixable and at this budget price, still an affordable endeavour.
