Here is an affordable opportunity for an astute purchaser with energy to burn! This gorgeous Villa, circa 1910 is ripe for a makeover! With very pretty street appeal, and plenty of original character worthy of retaining, aficionados of this era will find lots to love here! A wide central hallway, stained glass, lead lights, sash windows, an authentic Register Grate fireplace, and a charming side verandah are some features deserving restoration.

Well-positioned on 647sqm, the house has a pretty front garden and a big north facing lawn, private and sunny, at the rear. Views of the hills from here are magnificent. Recently painted with some weatherboards replaced, the exterior is in pretty good condition, but moving inside you will see the home needs complete renovation. Entirely liveable in the meantime, there is a log burner, and the bathroom has been updated, but most will agree this is a project in waiting!

Situated in tranquil Birdwood Ave, in the heart of Beckenham Loop, this location is one always in demand with recreational, retail and academic drawcards. There is a flourishing 'cafe society', and just a few doors down is 'The Birdwood', certain to become your go to cafe and Pizzeria! For those who relish an active lifestyle, walks around the Heathcote River are on your doorstep. If schooling is a priority, you are in zone for Beckenham, a full Primary, and the highly regarded Cashmere High.

Our seller has had a twenty year tenure here and is looking forward to seeing new owners restore her old home to its former glory. Come and see if you might be the one to do just that and reap the rewards!

Auction | Wednesday 25th March from 10:00am (unless sold prior), Holmwood Auction Rooms, 397 Ilam Road
