This bright, fresh and fabulous home sets the standard for 1970s weatherboards. The triple-fronted ripper has undergone a raft of updates and upgrades to deem it fit for contemporary life, while retaining its mid-century charms. Sitting pretty behind leafy street trees and a metal fence, the freshly-painted north-facing façade features pull down blinds on all windows, and an elevated porch. Extensive, as-new concrete provides ample space to park, and continues down the side of the home, through double gates to backyard shed. The front door opens to a long, L-shaped hallway that separates the living and bedroom spaces. There are three bedrooms, all in a row, and all with built-in-robes, new carpet, ceiling fans and split systems. A bonus study at the back of the house is a welcome find. The central, carpeted loungeroom is huge, with original frosted glass sliding doors on either side. The open-plan dining room and kitchen has new vinyl plank flooring and a modern Laminex kitchen with new cabinetry, a pantry, wall oven, gas cooktop and dishwasher. The bathroom has also been refreshed with a new shower screen, benchtop, basin and tapware. The laundry has great storage, and there’s a whole wall of linen cupboards in the hallway. Also of note is the new paintwork, inside and out, a total of five split systems, gas central heating and LED lights throughout and a gas instantaneous hot water service. The property continues to shine in the backyard, where an amazing undercover outdoor area more than doubles the living space. It will transform your social life, and overlooks a lush green lawn and garden. The aforementioned shed is so much more than a storage space. It features a wood heater, fan, TV and air conditioning for year-round enjoyment. Curnow Street is in a historic part of Golden Square, between Fortuna Villa and the Goldmines Hotel, and approximately 3km from the CBD.
