Positioned on a generous 809m2 block and walking distance to Sawtell Village and Beach, this original 1970's weatherboard home presents a wonderful renovation opportunity for those wanting to retain the character of a classic coastal home yet add a new and modern finish.
While the home is ready for a fresh breath of life, it offers a very versatile floorplan and great potential for internal changes to create a more modern open plan layout. Boasting the original wallpaper and finishes, it's a true step back in time, yet resting beneath that retro carpet you will find beautiful hardwood timber floorboards, hidden from a time when carpet was all the rage.
All three bedrooms are large, and all have built in wardrobes, serviced by the main bathroom with a shower/bathtub, toilet and vanity. The laundry lies at the rear of the home, with a second shower and toilet for convenience.
There has been an extension at some point in time at the rear of the home to add a secondary living space which also allows access to the outdoor covered patio.
The block itself is fantastic, offering a flat usable space with plenty of room to plant out your dream garden, add additional shedding or a large inground pool. The sheer size could also accommodate a large granny flat (STCA) for income or to host visiting friends and family.
Featuring plenty of potential for updates and a terrific rear yard space, this property is perfect for families wanting a large block for the kids to enjoy, though would suit downsizers wanting convenient walking access into First Avenue, without sacrificing space to breathe.
Note: The size of the block may allow potential for subdivision down the centre of the block to form two separate Torrens blocks or a duplex scenario, Subject to Council Approval. This would require removal/demolition of the existing home.
