Property listing ID: 469041
A solid & spacious character home in an ultra convenient location, an easy stroll to shops and cafes in Birkenhead. It's an early century classic, built in the transitional style with a mix of bungalow and villa features. The feeling of space starts when you cross the threshold, with detailed ceilings high above, and continues throughout the house. There are four double bedrooms, a separate lounge (with gas fireplace), and a large farmhouse style kitchen with an extra breakfast or study nook. The securely fenced backyard is north facing and gets great sun. Carefully maintained and improved by the current owners, there is still scope to take this classic home to the next level. Add French doors and a deck to create real flow from the lounge to the private backyard, convert the laundry to a second bathroom, and you will have a property that is both envied and sought after. The convenience of this location is obvious. With shops and a supermarket so close, and an excellent bus service on Onewa Rd, you may not even need a car. You can take your pick of a number of seriously good cafés in Birkenhead centre, or wander further afield to the café 'strip' in Birkenhead Point. However there are also plenty of local secrets for you to discover nearby. Peaceful bush walks in Le Roys Bush, and the magic of glowworms there at night. Swimming at Little Shoal Bay at high tide. Getting your exercise fix at War Memorial Park in Mahara Ave, with an outdoor heated pool, gym, rock wall, grass running track and cycle spin classes. And the list literally does go on. On the market for the first time in eighteen years, chances to buy a property of this type are rare; so do not miss your opportunity. A recent LIM report and property files are available to interested purchasers, and immediate possession may be available.
