Solid 70s Home in Chatswood

Classic 1970s home – solidly constructed on a concrete block base, with clinker brick and weatherboard cladding, dormer windows and plenty of space!

With the main living rooms, kitchen and 3 bedrooms on the upper level, there’s great flow to the expansive deck with its sheltered seating areas and built in spa pool. This ideal entertaining area is fully fenced and very sheltered, while there’s an adjacent area of level lawns and raised gardens that’s great for kicking a ball around and growing some veges.

Downstairs, there’s another big lounge or rumpus room, a big office, another double bedroom and a toilet. There’s plenty of storage space on this level and options to add a third bathroom if you wanted to make it self contained for the teens, visitors or grandparents. The double garage is extra big, with plenty of workshop space, and internal access. Outside, there’s off street parking for a few cars, a boat or caravan.

The house has been well maintained over its 30 year lifespan, with the recent addition of HRV and reverse cycle air conditioning.

The location is first class – handy to Highbury and the boutique shops and cares of Birkenhead Point, as well as being an easy commute to the city by car, bus or ferry.

Sharply priced at $710,000. BE QUICK TO SECURE THIS FABULOUS FAMILY HOME. Call Tony 0800 61 8888.

It can be a pretty frustrating exercise trying to find the ideal family home. You want a place that’s easy to look after, not to be a slave to on your precious weekends when you want to spend time with your kids. You want to have space for them to run around, an area that’s securely fenced, and to be able to keep an eye on them when they’re outside playing. [Read more →]

Once this property came to the market a watertightness inspection uncovered 3 spots requiring attention as there was leaking evident. At auction a local builder bought the property with the intention of recladding it.

This one is a bit of a flawed beauty. It’s immaculate, but a building report has identified some issues. Sort them out and the living will be easy. Buy it and you’ll make some money. Well maintained, this flawed beauty must be sold. Nervous but determined vendors are resolved to move on. Make it your new project and reap the rewards.

This home looks absolutely fine and I am sure the problems are minor, but you must check for yourslves. We’ve got the LIM report from the North Shore City Council, there is a Code Compliance Certificate, no problems here. We’ve had a watertightness report done by Robert Visser, take a look, but remember the vendors want to move on and this is an unconditional contract.

This home has an easy flow from open plan living to the deck and low maintenance garden, good double bedrooms upstairs and modern bathrooms.  It is perfectly located right by Smales Farm, the hospital and the North Shore’s best schools; in Milford, on the flat. It is absolutely amazing how convenient, the hospital, and five schools are within walking distance.

Here is the Watertightness Report.

Lim Report is available with CCC.
