Call your architect because one of the last opportunities to create your dream residence on Herne Bay's northern slopes is here.
This five-bedroom weatherboard and concrete villa set just two houses back from the sea on prestigious Sarsfield Street is a rare and extraordinary offering. Owned by the same family since the 1930s and through four generations, it's a true grande dame ready for her transformation.
On a generous 457m2 section, on the upper level of the home is a living room and three super-sized bedrooms, one with its own fireplace and all sporting original board and batten ceilings in immaculate condition. The high stud continues in the wide hallway, which leads you through to a bathroom with separate bath and shower and north-facing kitchen flooded with natural light.
This space flows out to the northwest-facing veranda, separate laundry and stairs leading to the expansive back garden, which is private and receives all day sun. Put your landscape architect to work creating your own sun-soaked oasis, with more than enough room to add a pool for summer fun. The lower level boasts exceptionally high ceilings, with two additional spacious bedrooms and a second living area just waiting to be reinstated or reconfigured depending on your needs.
Incredibly solid and with the internal staircase still in place, there is endless possibility for developing this beauty into the dream inner central family residence.
With off street parking for two vehicles and just a short stroll from the bustling cafes, restaurants and boutiques of Jervois Road as well as easy access to the Harbour Bridge and only moments to Ponsonby and the CBD, this true original radiates potential for a buyer with vision. Prospects like this in Herne Bay are incredibly scarce. Make the move and begin creating your forever home.
