If you don't mind putting in a bit of effort, this home is a diamond in the rough just looking for a new owner with a bit of vision!Plus points:-Large level block of 884sqm fully fenced with gated side access.Workshop/garage at rear with w/c and basin.Private location with just over 400 metres level walk to the beach.External spa.Good sized 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom, 2 garaged home.Priced to allow good capital gain with a bit of effort.Negative points:-The home needs a makeover!From my observation, the bones are good. There are many period features from picture rails, high ceilings (raked on second floor), timber panelling and ceilings. The kitchen has a 900mm gas/electric cooker with canopy hood and dishwasher. The separate large living room has a slow combustion wood heater and there is a new Fujitsu R/C air conditioner still in the box that comes with sale, ready to fit. There is an option to use either the bedroom downstairs as a main or the larger upstairs bedroom, both have an ensuite. The other 2 bedrooms are upstairs. The home in its past life was once used as a childcare centre and to the entrepreneurial would possibly make an interesting BnB setup.There is plenty of parking for your vans or boat on the block, often a hard thing to find. Surfside is just on the north side of the bridge from the CBD close enough for convenience but just out of the bustle of town. It has its own IGA and a few shops so close enough to pick up the essentials.Council Rates: $3,055.92/yr.
