Deceased Estate - Huge Potential

Let's be honest. Opportunities like this are as scarce as hen's teeth!

On the market after 40 years in gradual decline, this property is a rare diamond in the rough.

This 1910's Villa on its well-proportioned, Single-House- Special Character zoned, approximately 622 square metre corner section needs lots of TLC. On the bright side, it's just a simple, uncomplicated, approximately 100 m2 near-original, low budget, high ceiling century-old house. No fancy frills, not too many windows to restore, new roof about 10 years ago, and recently re-wired with RCDs - you won't need to spend half your fortune to bring this up to spec. Better still, it's tightly squeezed onto the main road end of the section. The rest of the land is your oyster*.

Renovate and keep the old villa as your guest wing, earn a little from AirBnB or set it up as a granny flat and live there while you build the attached two-level* home of your dreams that flows along the side street... Or, simply renovate and make it your home and sanctuary - the choices are yours*.

Of course, there are top-notch, high-decile schools in zone, and there's Farro, Countdown, cafes and Mitre10 just short walks down the hill, with the West Lynn shops a little further. The CBD is close, and the buses stop right outside the front door.

If you have been waiting for this opportunity to come along, this is your golden knock. Naturally, the property is vacant, so book your first, private viewing today. This estate will be sold. Live without regrets!

*Council consents etc permitting... Do your due diligence!
