A Character-Filled Home Brimming With Renovation Potential

Set on a charming 733m2 block, in a quiet and peaceful location with established gardens and versatile outdoor spaces, 85 Hope Street presents an exciting opportunity for renovators, investors, and families looking to create a personalised haven. This three-bedroom home is rich in character featuring built-in robes to all bedrooms, ceiling fans and reverse cycle air-conditioning throughout, as well as a working fireplace that forms the heart of the living space. The layout offers excellent scope for modernisation, with a large kitchen providing ample storage and an ideal foundation for a contemporary update. A family bathroom with bathtub, a second toilet, internal laundry, and a rear sunroom or additional living space add practical value and flexible living options, making this a perfect property to transform over time.

Outside, the home continues to impress with its future potential - renovators or growing families will be drawn to the large shed that has already been partially converted into a teenage retreat, sleep-out, or additional storage - offering a solid starting point for further enhancement.

The yard showcases a beautiful Jacaranda and Frangipani tree, a fish pond, and plenty of space to reimagine the landscaping to suit your lifestyle.
