48 James Street STRATHDALE VIC

Unleash the potential in this solid as a rock, 1977 brick veneer home situated in ever popular Strathdale. An affordable start or fabulous renovator, the home is presented in completely original condition, ready for you to provide a cosmetic makeover to bring it to modern day life. The home is set on a generous 800m2 allotment, with plenty of room to grow your surrounds. An impressive frontage leads to a flexible floor plan inside, providing three bedrooms – all with built in robes and ceiling fans, the master complete with three piece ensuite. A bonus separate study (or additional single bedroom) lies beyond the tiled entrance, which also leads to an expansive lounge room at the front of the home. A second living area forms part of the open plan kitchen, family room and meals section at the rear of the home. The retro kitchen is original, but very functional. Electric cooking appliances and plenty of cupboard and bench space will ensure everything is in working order until it is time to renovate. Ditto with the second or main bathroom, complete with bath, shower and vanity unit. A large laundry completes the floor plan, whilst heating and cooling is provided for your year round comfort. Sliding glass doors lead to the rear yard – a blank canvass awaiting your ideas! The good sized allotment will allow you the freedom to explore some fabulous outdoor entertaining and landscaping options over time. To enjoy the outdoors in the meantime, there is a covered patio with decking underfoot, and plenty of space for the kids or pets to play. The handy man will love the lock up shed, complete with concrete floor and power. An additional utility shed lies at the back of the double carport at the front of the home, and there is handy access to the rear yard via double gates to the side. The bones are well and truly in place here. Some vision and a cosmetic makeover will ensure this property sparkles in the present day like it did the day it was built. Plenty of work to be done, but it all points to a promising future. Hopefully your future?
