For the family, this historical landmark home evokes lasting and treasured memories, but sadly the time has come and with some urgency, to present the property to the market for sale. This two storied home of brick construction, was built in the 1950's and is now crying out for attention. It sits on a large parcel of land consisting of 6207m? and is positioned to take full advantage of the sun, being private and sheltered on all sides by extensive plantings. A formal lounge can be opened into the adjoining living room to make a large entertainment area which in turn opens on to the sunny north facing patio. The kitchen is separate and, as with the rest of the home would respond to modernisation and redecoration. There is one bedroom on the ground level, and on the above level is the master bedroom, another smaller bedroom and a study plus bathroom. Two car garaging is separate from the house, and there are two extra sheds on the property. The grounds are extensive and graced with many stately specimen trees. In the immediate vicinity you will find schools, the airport, golf courses, sporting and shopping amenities. With this large parcel of land being so close to the city it offers varied options for development with an eye to future subdivision or restoration of the home to its former majesty. For the family, nothing can take away those timeless memories, but now they are realistic and ready for a prospective buyer to 'take it away'.
