The Good, the Bad and the Ugly
This 2-storey home doesn’t get much attention, but potentially it could be magnificent…
Let’s look at the good:
1. Downstairs is a one-bedroom unit with a decent kitchen!
2. Upstairs is a two-bedroom unit which both lead onto a front north facing sunroom with views across to the hospital and the bush beyond. The bedrooms are large, and the kitchen is well equipped, and functional.
3. It has good bones!
4. It is cheap!
Now for the bad:
1. It needs work!
Now for the ugly:
1. It needs to have the faux French chateaux fretwork removed from the front…I’m not sure what they were thinking! But then beauty is in the eye of the beholder, so maybe I should be less judgy…maybe!
Potentially, it could be a family home with a parent’s or teenagers retreat underneath…it could be a home office below with a handy unit above…it could be two units providing essential accommodation for workers…it could be these and so much more! It just needs someone with imagination and willingness to have a go! It is the definitive doer upperer!
Look, it is a project with unlimited potential! Backbreaking, hard, but life changing and rewarding! The ultimate flipper! It is proof that you should never judge a book by its cover!
And just like the 1966 movie of the same name which was hammered by the critics when it opened but was eventually declared by Quentin Tarantino in 2002 as the ‘best film ever made’, there is hope that this too could become a distinctive home with unique appeal…a Clermont landmark!
