This Character home is just waiting for the creative person with a vision to bring it back to its original presentation, to restore this 120 year old charming character home to its former glory.
The shed sized at 9.4 meters wide by 8m long with a high roof. There is potential within the shed to create a living area, as it includes a lined room and wood heater. The sewer line and taps are close by.
The land (or property), is an excellent size to accommodate the large shed, with plenty of room to put a unit or granny flat or both for the discerning designer as 1135sq meter block is zoned R30. Access to the rear of the property is excellent with sufficient space either side of the Home.
Left side (west side) can have a feature charming picket fence about 1200mm away from the home and still leave approximately 4 meters from the fence for a driveway, allowing the possibility of achieving a green title.
The right side (east) has generous opening for driveway access.
The adjoining property of the west side features three blocks while the property on the east features two lots of four units. For comparison the west side block is currently on the market for over $249k and is not subdivided and has no shed. Whereas the shed on 12 Selby has been valued at $55,000 to $75,000.
Renovation had been started but it is best for the new owner to put their personality into the home. Picture the facade on the home, (the street view) with a cottage garden in your colours of choice and enclosed by classy white picket fence at the front and going down the side.
Yes the home does need considerable amount of work but the results will be like no other and the value should exceed expectation.
There are materials available that will reduce the costs of renovating.
This property had been described as having a good location, being close to schools and shops.

2 bedrooms + study
3 living areas (one could be easily converted to another bedroom)
2 wood stoves for winter warmth and 2 open fireplaces
Pressed tin ceilings and walls in some rooms

A massive shed with concrete floors, high roof, full lighting and plenty of power points throughout shed, wood slow combustion stove and a fully lined storeroom within the shed. A builder has estimated the value of shed/workshop with the concrete floor and fully powered is approximately $55-k $75k mark.
Yes it needs a bit of work but look at what it comes with..

There is also a used ducted air con system with all ducting and 7 outlets available for installation. Wooden flooring is available for the kitchen and dining areas.
