Here's your chance to get on the property ladder and enjoy a rental income with this cute as a button, 1939-built home-and-income in handy Mornington. Upstairs you've got two double bedrooms, and an open plan living and dining room with superb northern views and sun. There's even a glimpse of the harbour! The kitchen has the original, authentically vintage cupboards and drawers which are both beautifully crafted and incredibly durable - they've held the crockery and cutlery of residents for more than 80 years! Such a testament to the solid materials and workmanship of this era. Likewise there are other neat character features including timber floors, doors and architraves and the distinctive geometric angles and curves that the art deco period is known for.
Downstairs is a nicely decorated two-bedroom flat with a rental appraisal of between $500 and $550 per week - meaning you could increase your borrowing - check in with your broker to see what this might mean for you!
A small single garage (or good sized storage shed) is a handy extra and there is parking at the gate thanks to a generously-sized, council-owned parking bay at the bend of the road, that services a number of homes. The large (557 sqm more or less) north-facing section offers ideas and options for future development, wild adventures and play in the bush or if you're a keen gardener, it could be an incredible terraced oasis.
A builder's report and LIM will be available.
Public transport runs up and down Farnham Street, it's an easy walk down to Berhampore School and Village, or go up and over the ridge into Brooklyn. Parks, reserves, mountain bike tracks, the golf course are all handy, and it's an easy drive to either the south coast or into the city.
So if you're a first home buyer, someone looking for a small home with an income, or an investor ready to add to your portfolio, this delightful charming home needs to be viewed.
