About this property
In a prime location, near light rail and shops - RZ4 rezoning potential! Currently leased - feel free to discuss with Aniko 0429 487 939 This updated, light filled home is situated in an ideal location, only metres to a light rail stop and a short stroll to either the Knox cafe in Watson or Gang Gang cafe in Downer! A draft planning amendment (DPA-09) proposes rezoning the property from RZ1 to RZ4, opening the door to three-storey development and strong future growth potential, making this the ideal home for either a family or developer. The home has been recently renovated and features a fully updated kitchen, timber flooring, with fresh carpet in bedrooms, a new ducted reverse cycle air conditioning system and an impressive 10kW solar panel array, that regularly places the household electricity bill in credit. The spacious open plan living area is warm and inviting, while the renovated kitchen offers generous benchtop space with a breakfast bar, ceramic cooktop, pyrolytic oven, dishwasher and ample storage. The adjacent laundry provides additional functionality and storage. A slow combustion fireplace creates a cosy focal point in the generous lounge, which opens onto the covered entertaining area with lighting and a private outlook over the rear garden. The gardens are low maintenance, with a rear gate providing direct access to the nearby light rail stop. Neat hedging frames the front garden, and the verandah offers a quiet spot to relax. A double garage and a large garden shed complete the offering. This peaceful location offers the best of Inner North living, a relaxed stroll to cafes and only a short trip on light rail to the Dickson restaurant and shopping precinct, the City centre, or to Farmers’ markets! Many sought-after schools are within easy reach, with zoning to Lyneham Primary and High School and Majura Primary School.
