Last Listing description (October 2022)

The home at 40 Olympus way is full of potential. Situated on a quite loop street and backing the picturesque and protected Oakey Hill Nature Reserve, the future looks bright for this presently understated house.

With an enormous 1286m2 of land to utilise, currently the home takes up a mere fraction of that space, so it's all but screaming for an extensive renovation or perhaps even a complete knockdown rebuild?

As it stands, the home boasts three bedrooms, a bathroom with separate toilet, a kitchen and meals area, and a living room that makes the most of the incredible views this elevated block provides. It has an updated kitchen and bathroom, fresh paint throughout and is very comfortable as it is if future works are not on the immediate horizon.

When you venture to the rear of the home, there is a large, concreted area, perfect for entertaining guests and large family gatherings. We imagine many a tomato passata or salami making day (or the like) have occurred across its floors, and when the day was done, the family unfolded some extra trestle tables and chairs and enjoyed a meal together laughing over the chaos that ensued earlier.

The storage shed around the side of the house could have housed the equipment and there's even an area that seems perfect for smoking cold meats?

It's in the backyard that you'll discover just how vast this property is. Split into separate tiers by solid stone retaining walls are strips of enormous grass landings. The opportunity to extend back here is exhilarating, especially when you consider the views that are yet to be captured to their full potential.
