This partially renovated solid brick and tile property on the border with St Lucia, is in need of a little TLC to fulfill its potential nestled among quality homes.

Stylish renovations have transformed the main living areas and bathrooms incorporating an open-plan design that includes a good-sized kitchen with modern appliances and bench tops. The main kitchen adjoins a light and airy dining space that flows to an area for relaxing, featuring beautiful polished timber floors, picture windows, high ceilings and elaborate cornice work.

This spacious light-filled living area also has ceiling fans and air-conditioning, with double doors allowing access to a generous tiled front verandah overlooking the pleasant landscaped garden on an easterly aspect to make the most of the prevailing south-easterly breezes.

On this level three, good-sized bedrooms are serviced by two renovated bathrooms.

The main bedroom has its own walk-in robe and French doors allowing access to a balcony with views across the leafy streetscape.

One bathroom has a sizeable bath and a skylight that floods the area including the passage way with natural light. The second bathroom has a large shower and includes facilities for a laundry, with outside access to the clothesline.

A polished internal timber staircase gives access to the lower level that comprises a granny flat/teen retreat or home-office space, including one bedroom, bedroom-sized utility room, generous lounge, galley kitchen and a third bathroom/laundry.
