Some homes simply make you smile the moment you arrive. 53 Donnelly Avenue is one of them.
A gorgeous example of the classic 1960s Australian weatherboard, this much-loved home has been lovingly renovated and cared for, creating a warm, inviting residence where charm, character and modern comfort come together beautifully.
From the sweet garden-framed entry and welcoming facade, you immediately get that feeling - this is a home that has been loved.
Inside, the clever floor plan offers wonderful flexibility. Originally designed as three bedrooms, the third bedroom has been opened to the kitchen to create a beautiful, light-filled living space surrounded by windows. It makes a delightful second lounge, dining area, home office, children's retreat, or simply a place to relax and enjoy the garden outlook.
For the first-home buyer, it's wonderfully easy - move in, unpack and enjoy. There is no major project waiting for you, just a charming home ready to become your own.
And then there's the block.
Set on approximately 650m² of clear, flat land, the property enjoys a gorgeous established front garden and one of those increasingly special streets where mature trees create a leafy canopy overhead and privately built homes give the neighbourhood a wonderful sense of pride and permanence.
For the astute investor, there is also plenty here to excite the clever investor. Currently leased as a two-bedroom home, the original third bedroom can potentially be reinstated, while the existing rear under-ceiling space provides an opportunity to explore an additional bathroom and en suite configuration - potentially creating a three-bedroom, two-bathroom home, subject to approvals and building requirements.
With these targeted improvements, there may be an opportunity to add $50,000–$80,000+ in value, subject to construction costs, approvals, finished specification and market conditions. And tucked away at the rear is another wonderful bonus - a colour-bond studio/home office, previously set up as a dedicated workspace and perfect for today's work-from-home lifestyle.
The beauty of this property? You don't have to change a thing. Live in it exactly as it is. Rent it. Improve it over time. Add value when the opportunity is right., Buy it. Enjoy it. Improve it. Add value.
