Love the home, and the location
Mid-century weatherboards continue to be in the spotlight right now, and for very good reasons. Consider their light, bright rooms, high ceilings, decorative cornice, big timber-framed windows, and all the optimism of their era.
They also come with inner-suburb addresses and big, old-fashioned block sizes.
This new listing in Hollow Street epitomises everything we love about these homes. Plus, this one has had some loving attention, upgrades and refurbishments in all the right areas, while retaining its period charm.
Set on a generous corner block, the sweet façade overlooks the Allingham Street oval, giving the home a distinct sense of place in this tight-knit community. Enjoy the sounds of junior footy with your Saturday morning!
The house retains its original floorplan, which is still fit for function with three great-sized bedrooms, a large sunny loungeroom and an eat-in kitchen.
Step up to the elevated front porch and open the door to a wide, tiled entrance hall that's perfect for feature furniture, artwork and indoor plants.
The carpeted bedrooms run down the right side of the home. Each has a built-in-robe, and two have ceiling fans.
The front loungeroom is as cosy as they come, with a gas heater set into the original mantlepiece, split system heating and cooling, plus a ceiling fan.
The contemporary kitchen is a welcome addition here. It's been sensitively designed to include an upright gas stove set into the original tiled alcove. Wide pot drawers and a pantry cupboard also feature.
The bathroom has also been renovated and now includes a wide shower, dual vanity, designer tiles and a chandelier for a touch of fun.
Outside, the landscaping is also charming, with its neat concrete paths and defined garden beds. There's a side vehicle entrance through double gates to an double garage and carport.
Savvy investors will note the big backyard and corner aspect, which potentially lends itself to a 2 lot subdivision, subject to council approval.
Easy to live in, easy to let out, and oh so easy to love - be quick to inspect this one!
