Resplendent in retaining a number of original features and with room and space that the Brady Bunch would be proud of, this is your opportunity to look past the obvious and stamp your personality on this home. Sure there's some redecorating and a little rejuvenating to bring it into todays world, but make no mistake this house is also "live in ready" and nothing needs to be done immediately. With bathrooms downstairs and upstairs, a separate laundry, office space under the stairs and the upstairs landing silhouetted by a stunning leadlight window, there are numerous "nooks" and "crannies" to be found.
Boasting 3 bedrooms - which could only be described as enormous - there is also that 4th bedroom (or craft room or office). There is a stand alone kitchen/dining area plus two other separate living areas - which equals room for everybody. Add to that a fully detached and self contained unit with full kitchen, huge living/meeting area and separate sunroom and you could invite the in laws as well for Christmas. This area has been used in the past as an Osteopath rooms and could easily turn its hand once again to any type pf professional activity, work from home scenario or Air BnB.
Out back there is a well fenced yard, large enough for a bit of a run around and a ready made entertaining area for that family BBQ or just to get the neighbours over for a few quiets on a Sunday.
This is a once in a generation opportunity to purchase a solid family home giving immediate space for the family and at the same time giving scope to create your new stamp. Situated in a quiet and very desirable area of Carterton, 24 Hornsby St is waiting for you!
