Absolute Renovator's Dream – Classic 1920's Galvanised Cottage with Huge Potential
Step back in time and uncover the charm of this 1920's-style galvanised iron cottage, a true renovator's delight just waiting for the right person to bring it back to life. Perfect for the handyman, builder, or astute investor looking for a rewarding project, this property offers solid bones, character features, and a large block with excellent access - all at an unbeatable price.
Inside the home, the lounge and two bedrooms walls and ceiling has already been stripped back to the timber frames, following treatment for termite damage. Some timbers will need replacement, but this gives you a clean slate to design and rebuild to your taste.
Entering through the screened front porch with concrete floor, you'll find yourself in the lounge room, featuring a classic open fireplace that backs onto the second bedroom. A reverse-cycle wall air conditioner sits above the front door (working condition unknown). The pine floorboards in the lounge and both bedrooms add to the home's rustic appeal, while a small sunroom off the lounge offers extra space and natural light. The main bedroom includes a compact dressing room, providing scope for a future walk-in robe or ensuite conversion.
The kitchen features a floating floor laid over original timber, a single sink with storage drawers and cupboards, and partially finished wall tiling-a great opportunity to complete it in your own style. At the rear, a dining or rumpus room offers versatility with tiled flooring and direct access to the bathroom and back door. The bathroom includes a basin, toilet, 2 wall cabinets and corner shower alcove, though the ceiling will require fixing.
Outside, the property continues to impress with space and potential. A 3m x 6m rear verandah extends the living area but will need attention. The large backyard includes a storage shed, double gates opening onto a convenient rear laneway, and a 5m x 7m single garage with concrete floor - the front of which has been enclosed for extra workspace or storage. The side fencing (approx. 1800mm high) is in good condition, while the front and rear fences could use some TLC.
If you have the skills, vision, or the right tradespeople, this traditional old cottage could be transformed into a charming period home or profitable investment. Selling "as is" at a very affordable price, there's plenty of room in the budget to renovate and add value.
Homes with this much character and potential rarely come along - and at this price, it won't last long! Roll up your sleeves, bring your imagination, and make this absolute renovator's dream your next project.
