Ilam - 4 bedroom with huge opportunity!
Could there be any greater testament to a home and a neighbourhood than the 30 year tenure that my sellers have enjoyed in this endearing Ilam bungalow?
These 'empty nest-ers' have watched their daughter grow from a child at Primary School, to a young adult at High School, through to a University scholar, with the convenience of all these highly respected educational facilities in close proximity. Now, with the build of their new house near completion, it's time for a new family to watch their children grow and create their own treasured memories here.
The 713m2 corner site encourages extra light into the home, as well as providing the space for amazing garaging and plentiful secure off-street parking (large enough for a trade vehicle, trailer, caravan and/or camper van). While one person tinkers in the spacious garage, another can gather fresh vegetables throughout the seasons from the expansive raised vegetable garden just beyond. With a well-positioned, private concrete patio for year-round entertaining, as well as a concrete BBQ, family gatherings are a guaranteed success. A colourful garden and generous lawn areas lend themselves perfect spaces for kids to kick a ball or have a playhouse.
Moving inside, we find a fine example of 50's architecture. The original, well-proportioned 2 bedroom bungalow has been augmented by an extension done in the 1970's which added 2 more bedrooms. A well-conceived make-over will surely make this home shine and bring it into the 2020s and beyond. All rooms which include separate, north facing lounge and open plan dining/kitchen are fairly original, but benefit from excellent maintenance and recent upgrades, of new spouting; new hot water cylinder; new flooring in kitchen and bathroom areas. The immaculate presentation of this home shows how treasured it has been.
This sturdy and tidy Ilam bungalow is a sure fire winner.
Auction Wednesday 14th July, 10:00am at Holmwood Auction Rooms, Ground Floor, 397 - 399 Ilam Road, Ilam (unless sold prior).
