11 Leslie Street

Set on a substantial 913sqm block with subdivision potential (subject to relevant approvals) in a convenient Yakamia location, this charming character home blends timeless character, everyday comfort and exciting possibilities for a wide scope of buyers. This home, whilst being very livable, requires some work and will be sold "as-is" with a Building Inspection Report and a Timber Pest Inspection Report on file. Less than 3km to town and within walking distance of schools and shops, the well-maintained fibro and tile home presents an excellent opportunity for those seeking good indoor and outdoor living spaces and enough land for recreation, growing fruit and veggies (there's even an established plum tree) or simply enjoying the tranquility of the setting. Inside, warm hard wood floors, ornate ceilings and timber-framed windows in most rooms bring timeless appeal, while some upgrades enhance liveability. Further updates and a little polish could easily increase its value. The hub of the home is a generous, open family room with two windows, a corner flued gas heater that appears to be a wood burner and hard wood French doors opening onto a spacious, sheltered rear patio for barbecues and summer entertaining. Flowing on from the family room, the dining area connects with the appealing kitchen featuring ample cabinetry, a gas cook-top, under-bench oven and a practical corner pantry. Accommodation includes three bedrooms, with a king-sized main bedroom privately positioned at the front of the home. The other two at the rear consist of one single and one double, both with built-in robes. In the bathroom is a bath as well as a walk-in shower and vanity, and the separate toilet is off the laundry. A block of this size is a real bonus. Established lawns and gardens at the front and rear feature natives and easy-care plantings. A long drive leads past the house to a freestanding Colorbond garage-workshop with power, lighting and space for storage, hobbies or DIY projects, and there's ample off-road parking besides. Buyers ready to move straight in and start the improvements, secure a smart investment with development potential, or further enhance a home with a workable layout, this appealing property offers character, flexibility and outstanding promise in a sought-after location.
