ADD MASSIVE VALUE AT MINIMAL COST
This home oozes appeal. It's well-appointed and ticks more of boxes on your list then just about every other house your have inspected. There are also ways you could make it even better, and at minimal cost for the benefit received. Read on
The double garage is a massive 6.9x7.2m. As a bonus, it has a rare 246cm ceiling height. That is above code height. There is already a shower/toilet combination (3rd bathroom) so the plumbing is in place. At minimal cost you could build in 2 extra bedrooms plus still have space to spare. Or a self-contained living area (granny flat) or even a new master retreat. *
Covid-19 has resulted in many people working from home. This home lends itself perfectly. And with the lifestyle that Brighton offers, there is no better place.
Out the front, the garage is set back 8.6m from the road. Double width concrete is already there so it is a simple addition to add a double carport*. Do you have a caravan, boat or trade vehicle? There is plenty of room to the side to cater for them. Both sides in fact as this property has an ultra-wide 18.4m frontage. Abundant off-street parking is easily created how many vehicles do you have?
SEALS THE DEAL
The location and lifestyle - An early morning run along the waterfront to the Shorncliffe Pier, an afternoon kitesurf, or an afternoon walk with your partner and family as the sun sets.
The practical You're a tradie and come home and park your work ute down the side without having to unhitch the trailer ready for a quick exit the following morning (or it might be the caravan or boat).
The entertainer Nice big saltwater pool for the kids, covered outdoor entertaining area, huge rumpus room with built-in bar and pool table (yes it stays). BWS, IGA and fantastic wood-fired pizza at the end of the street if you need supplies.
The extended family Build in the garage to be a fully self-contained ground level living area*. IGA. shops and medical centre at the end of the street one way, beach at the end of the street the other way.
SELLERS COMMENTS.
We have loved convenience. Everything is in walking distance. My gym is across the road, plus you have IGA, BWS, doctor and all the shops. The bus stop is just around the corner. There is a bus every 7 minutes in the morning connecting with the train, 2 schools are just around the corner and we have the water at end of street. That is just magic. It is a hard decision for us to sell and we will miss this place, but it is time for us to downsize. I know the next family to live here will love it just as much as we have.
