A large house under-roof with so much potential for a couple, young family or investor. This is a first time on the market home, with a single owner for over 50 years that has lovingly kept the place in good order. With brick exterior and hardwood framing with polished floors, it is a real classic of its era.
Extremely well-constructed including solid hardwood decks front and back add double the living space to this already generous home. Over 370 square metres under roof of useable area, you will not find better value on the market today. A wonderful shade-house down the northern wall adds additional hidden storage and space to exercise your green thumb or learn a new passion.
The space under the decks are also areas that can be utilised. The area under the back deck has been semi-enclosed which allows for privacy and a great space at any time of the year. A perfect and safe spot for the kids to play while the parents relax and entertain upstairs on the large deck.
A generous fully fenced backyard that can be kept as gardens or revamped and landscaped. There is so much space, a shed or pool or both could go in. Family and pet friendly.
Downstairs is sealed and has a fully tiled floor throughout. There is opportunity for dual living as there is a kitchenette and bathroom along with a multi-purpose space that previously has been used as guest quarters, craft room, sewing room, home business office and such. This can be shut off from the rest of the under-house giving you more open space with endless possibilities.
This home is located within a quiet, well sought-out area, minimum through-traffic and surrounded by families. Views of the mountains with the peaceful tones of wildlife with regular visiting birds popping in to say hello. Homes like this don't often become available to purchase.
If any of this is of interest then I recommend that you inspect 25 Osberg Street, The Gap, before this home is under contract.
