BALLARAT - Award-pending real estate agent Darren Mildew is excited to share that a rare gem has just arrived on the Ballarat market. This home is full of potential, even though it has enough asbestos to worry a whole generation of tradies.
The property boasts a sun-filled, north-facing aspect thanks to its open-plan ceiling. Its weatherboard cladding provides a nostalgic connection to a bygone era of Australian construction.
"It hasn't been renovated since Sir Edmund Barton was PM. You don't get craftsmanship like this anymore."
"Just so you know, you can't touch any of the walls without a hazmat suit," explained Mr Mildew. "These are good bones. Solid bones."
The listing calls the property ripe for renovation. It boasts a light-filled living area due to a partly collapsed walls, a nostalgic woodstove cooktop like your your great grandparents used to have, and a generous north-facing backyard occupied by a rusted-out Commodore on blocks.
With a price tag of $1.2 million, this rare opportunity is perfect for young couples looking to break into the market, cashed-up developers, or anyone who already owns a hazmat suit."In this market? It'll go quick," added Mildew. "I'd hate for you to miss out. Did I mention it has good bones?"
