Offered for sale "as is where is" this substantial 1950s bungalow presents an exciting chance to secure a generously proportioned home on an expansive 1,242 sq m (more or less) site, just moments from the heart of town and the lakefront. Rich in original character, the home showcases the charm of its era with large rooms, original kitchen and bathrooms, and a light-filled sunroom that hints at the warmth and lifestyle this home once enjoyed and can enjoy again.
The bungalow itself is notably spacious, with a layout that lends itself well to renovation, reimagining or enhancement. For those with vision, this is a classic do-up as an opportunity to restore, modernise and add significant value while retaining the character that makes homes of this period so enduringly appealing.
The land offering is equally compelling. With its generous size and favourable positioning, there is clear development potential, including the exciting possibility to relocate or remove the home entirely, creating a prime site for new builds while retaining the option to reimagine the bungalow elsewhere all subject to council approval. This makes the property highly appealing to renovators, developers, and those seeking a long-term investment in a premium location.
From here, enjoy an easy walk to town, the lake, local cafes and restaurants providing a lifestyle many seek and few secure. Whether you’re looking to breathe new life into a character home, explore future development options, or simply land bank in a blue-chip area, this is a genuine opportunity that does not come along often.
Properties like this are rarely offered and when they are, they don’t last long. Contact me for an appointment to view.
