The spacious 180 sqm (approx.) two-storey home has had some modernisations over the decades but now shows signs of deferred maintenance. Robust native timber flooring and joinery are archetypal elements of this spacious home where open plan lounge and dining area comprise of a brick surround fireplace and ranch slider to the patio. The 80s style open plan kitchen is functional while the separate laundry retains a blast from the past cast iron wood chip heater. The home has solar panel affixed to the roof and an original hot water cylinder date stamped 1959 is testament to its six decades of staying power. Three of five bedrooms located on the ground floor are served by a bathroom with separate toilet.
