2 East Pkwy, Colonel Light Gardens is a 3 bedroom, 3 bathroom House with 5 parking spaces and was built in 1925. The property has a land size of 1144m2 and floor size of 302m2. While the property is not currently for sale or for rent, it was last sold in December 2020.
Traditionally, "Feature Homes" were positioned on corner allotments - as a Statement-Piece or a 'welcome' to the suburb.
And so it is that this 1926 Freestone/Tudor-style "Gentleman's Residence" (on 1214sqm approx)- with high peaked, terracotta-tile roof; Roman-columns and Terrazzo return-verandah; delivers all the hallmarks of being the "top shelf" signature home for Colonel Light Gardens.
Over-the-journey much has changed. A significant addition in the 1960's were (then) Dentist's Rooms - complete with own entry, reception, storeroom and 3 consulting rooms. And a stand-alone 'workshop' completed the Professional-Attachment. These are now presented as additional bedrooms and/or to-be-upgraded work-from-home small business.
As well, the home was modernised circa 1970's in which few (if any), of the character features (skirting boards, cornices, rosework etc) now remain. Additionally and/or concurrently, several areas simply need to be "brought into the 21st Century"; and the new kitchen bears testimony to what you can deliver.
The main home is currently set up as 5 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms plus office
There is also undercover, secure parking for three vehicles; and additional off-street parking- along with a substantial additional building (retreat, storeroom etc)
This then is the challenge. Renovate in a contemporary style? Or re-introduce the character features? And how best to utilise all the rooms?
Do you create two separate living areas; vary the internal layout or re-establish the professional rooms? You are but limited by your imagination.
Whatever option you choose, you will be well rewarded, by re-establishing No 2 East Parkway as arguably the finest home in Colonel Light Gardens.
Set for Auction on Saturday 11am 7 November - And will sell!
