Built at a time when houses were made to withstand the rigours of time, this attractive brick veneer fronted by pretty gardens, has good bones on which to operate. So if a challenging renovation is one to relish, this house could be a winner for a savvy buyer on auction day. On a big block of about 697 square metres, the house has three bedrooms, two with built-in robes. They are served by a fully tiled bathroom which has a timber-lined ceiling; there are two toilets. Timber and/or timber laminate play a big part in the interior with both kitchen and large, tiled rumpus room lined with it on walls and ceilings. Next to a family/meals section, the kitchen has an island bench, ample cupboards (timber) and a gas upright cooker; another gas cooker sits in the laundry. The backyard is almost entirely paved in concrete, with trees along the back fence. Within a walk of schools, shops and transport, the property has heating and cooling, solar panels and a four-car garage.
