This 1910s Appleby villa is what renovation dreams are made of — and at entry-level pricing, it's an opportunity that's hard to ignore. With approximately 134m² of floor area on a generous 739m² (more or less) section, there's genuine substance here for those with the vision and drive to bring it back to life.
The home's villa origins are still evident throughout — the welcoming front verandah, high stud ceilings, and classic proportions all speak to a quality of build that's stood for well over a century. Inside, four bedrooms all come with wardrobes, a spacious lounge provides a natural heart to the home, and a separate kitchen offers a practical layout with plenty of room to modernise. The bathroom, laundry, and storage areas are all present and functional — though like much of the home, they're ready and waiting for a fresh vision.
Outside, the section is a real point of difference — 739m² (more or less) with plenty of parking, a substantial garage/workshop, and multiple outbuildings. Whether you want space to store, space to tinker, or simply room to breathe, it's all here.
This property is being sold as-is, and it's honest about where it sits — it needs work, inside and out. But that's exactly the point. Strip it back, restore the charm, and reimagine it for the 21st century. The villa character is still there beneath the surface, waiting to be uncovered.
