Price Reduced, was $525k, now asking $499k! Circa 1895, this property has an interesting history, with a brickworks established at the rear of the property, before being established as The York Grammar School for a short period of time, by Frank Bennet. Frank then went on to become the first headmaster of Guildford Grammar School. The Victorian Georgian style character home is in great condition, with high jarrah weatherboard ceilings and a couple of fireplaces. Pretty roomy for a cottage too, with a formal entry, 3 bedrooms, a sleepout, a much larger lounge room than expected from this era, a kitchen/meals and a sunroom. The kitchen is pretty modern, and boasts a walk in pantry area, while the lounge room has a central fireplace, plus a split system aircon.
The front and back verandahs both overlook the gorgeous cottage style gardens, with a nice amount of lawn, roses, flowering shrubs of different varieties, a massive old carob tree and of course a white picket fence. Plenty of undercover parking too, with 3 carport spaces (one is alongside the home for convenience, while another is quite high so is handy if you have a large boat or caravan). Another 2 parking spots are in the double lockup garage, complete with concrete floor and power, or it could be utilised as a great workshop space.
The great sized 3161sqm block is located on the corner of Clifford Street, giving easy access to drive through, and with a R10 zoning has subdivision potential down to 1000sqm lots.
