Wide street frontage includes dual crossovers leading to off-street parking, a carport and garage with a cellar, while at the rear is a laundry block, separate toilet, storeroom, huge undercover terrace and an established garden with fruit trees and excellent side laneway access. Completely unique in a quiet and convenient position, this long-held home while liveable as is looks confidently forward to great ideas for a grand design with potential to stylishly renovate/extend, build a stunning new residence or consider other rewarding possibilities (STCA). Ideally situated for an outstanding lifestyle just a quick and easy walk to Miller Street cafes and shops, Gilbert Road and Nicholson Street trams, parks, walking trails and schools.
