If you've been on the lookout for a property bursting with promise where you can unleash your creative genius, this one absolutely brims with potential. Hello, corner block convenience! Here you've got 1,343 square metres of land with dual street frontage to play with, plus a fabulous house with loads of existing benefits, should you choose to renovate. If developing is on your wishlist, this R30 zoned land could gain approval for up to three sites - sell a block, build anew on another, and sit on the third until you're ready for the next big project!

If you love the concept of retaining a slice of history and lovingly restoring this '40s home, you'll love the original floorboards and massive floorspace and, bonus, the makeover has already begun with a new kitchen with updated flooring. The bathroom awaits a fresh burst of creativity which will be a breeze with a second separate toilet. There are five bedrooms, a spacious lounge, and a sunroom which could be transformed into a great work from home space, with a little elbow grease and some design inspiration. If you are happy to keep home and work separate, it could be a great indoor play spot for youngens, a light-filled art space, or even a cosy home library. There's a fabulous wood burner for the chilly months and evaporative air con for when it warms up again. Can't wait to get your hands dirty on weekends? Check out the 12m x 6m powered shed with side access - this kind of room means you can go wild on the biggest DIY jobs. There's a bonus woodshed so you can maximise your workshop space plus 24 solar panels to offset energy costs.

Speaking of a stroll, should you wish to take some time out and meander along the Avon River riverfront, it's literally a couple of blocks away. Have a coffee at the Dome, let the kids play at the park, and then grab something to cook for dinner in your updated kitchen at Woolies on the way back.
