A rare opportunity within cooee of Churchill Park, coastline beaches and excellent Glendowie schools, this character cottage is as ripe for the picking as the fruit on the trees in its huge backyard. Seldom do sections this large come up in such a tightly held location so it cannot be overstated that this is an exceptional opportunity for developers, renovators, or a passionate visionary with a growing family. The mellowing emerald green 1940s built cottage requiring some TLC is tucked behind its charming white picket fence amidst picturesque 915m² (approx) grounds. Of the two levels, all core living and accommodation is on the ground floor where original heart rimu floors and warm carpeting underpin a neat interior. A separate north facing sitting room has timber lined tongue and groove walls and a fireplace while glazed double doors connect to the deck from a separate dining area on the other side of a somewhat basic yet functional kitchen. This would respond well to a 2023 makeover as would the bathroom serving the two double bedrooms. The internal access basement comprises of a laundry area adjacent to a classic bar/entertaining space and a versatile office/sleepover room. French doors open on to the garden covered by the overhead deck. The single garage is close to the house and a useful standalone shed in the garden is ideal for potting and storage. The tranquil parklike section has ample room for a vegetable garden, trampoline and swimming pool if desired and slopes away to a creek on the south boundary. Walk the short and safe distance to Churchill Park Primary School while in-zone Glendowie College is also close at hand. Now is the time to take possession of this prime piece of land in a tightly held neighbourhood and make plans for your future. Renovate, land bank and rent or just live and enjoy the tranquillity and birdsong this location offers.
