Discover an exceptional opportunity to reimagine a classic Art Deco residence, rich in character and positioned to take full advantage of its stunning lake and mountain outlook. This four-bedroom home blends timeless charm with exciting potential, complemented by a separate one-bedroom sleep-out with its own en-suite, ideal for guests, extended family, or added versatility. The owners are motivated and invite buyers who recognise the value of thoughtful restoration in this tightly held location. Situated in the sought-after Hilltop School zone, this is an opportunity that deserves prompt inspection. The lower level features an open-plan kitchen, dining, and family area highlighted by beautiful native timber flooring and French doors opening to the picturesque backyard. Three bedrooms and a family bathroom are also located on this floor. The seperate formal lounge has been tastefully refurbished with new carpet and fresh paint, showcasing its ornate ceilings while offering a comfortable, contemporary feel. A gas fireplace adds ambience and warmth, complementing the home’s central gas heating system that keeps the entire house warm and toasty through the winter months. Throughout the home, the interior has been repainted, creating a bright, fresh, and neutral backdrop ready for your own style. Upstairs, the master suite provides a peaceful retreat, complete with its own en-suite, sweeping views, and full double glazing for added comfort. A neighbouring office nook enjoys the same outlook, offering a quiet place to work or unwind. This upper level has recently been re-clad, freshly painted, and now benefits from significant roof replacement work - giving the home a re-vitalised exterior and added peace of mind. Outside, a private, full-sized 1012 sqm (more or less) section with established yet easy-care planting sets the scene for relaxed outdoor living. The decking provides the perfect spot to soak up the sun or enjoy an evening wine while taking in the garden surrounds. A double garage, a single garage, and generous off-street parking complete the package. This is your chance to breathe new life into a timeless classic, an opportunity to honour its heritage while shaping a home that reflects your own vision.
