Built circa 1920, this traditionally laid out property has admittedly seen better days. But it has a variety of redeeming features that restoration enthusiasts would argue are too good to discard.
On the other hand the block is a whopping 1160m2, flat and rectangular with generous frontage of approximately 21m. With an existing dwelling on site, naturally all services are in place, making this a truly prime building block.
Whatever you decide, renovate or detonate, the location is lovely. An attractive, quiet street, close to everything with a beautiful rear outlook. Gardens front and rear are established and pretty, dotted with mature trees and shrubbery.
So one thing is for sure, whether you knock down and rebuild or restore the existing home, you are guaranteed delightful surroundings.

So, is it to be or not to be? That is the question. Without doubt, restoration of this home is a huge project, but is it bad enough to demolish? Theres certainly some great things to be saved.
But on the other hand, is it worth the effort when you can just knock down and build afresh?
Either way its a beautiful block and a stunning location. Were undecided so wed love to hear what YOU think.
