Are you looking for a unique property that stand alone in what it offers?

Large Man Shed, big block and antique solid home built in 1900, just waiting for the creative person with a vision to bring it back to its original presentation, to restore this 120 year old charming character home to its former glory.
The shed sized at 9.4 meters wide by 8m long with a high roof. The size is ideal to keep your caravan or trailer safe and secure and protected from the elements. There is potential within the shed to create a living area, as it includes a fully lined room and wood heater. The sewer line and taps are close by.
The land (or property), is an excellent size to accommodate the large shed, with plenty of room to put a unit or granny flat or both for the discerning designer as 1135sq meter block is zoned R30. Access to the rear of the property is excellent with sufficient space either side of the Home.
Left side (west side) can have a feature charming picket fence about 1200mm away from the home and still leave approximately 4 meters from the fence for a driveway, allowing the possibility of achieving a green title.
The right side (east) has generous opening for driveway access.
The adjoining property of the west side features three blocks while the property on the east features two lots of four units. For comparison the west side block is currently on the market for over $249k and is not subdivided and has no shed. Whereas the shed on 12 Selby has been valued at $55,000 to $75,000.
Now the jewel of this property built in 1900 is the prospective adorable 'vintage' home. Renovation had been started but it is best for the new owner to put their personality into the home. Picture the facade on the home, (the street view) with a cottage garden in your colours of choice and enclosed by classy white picket fence at the front and going down the side.
Yes the home does need considerable amount of work but the results will be like no other and the value should exceed expectation.
