Interested in Renovating an Absolute Gem?!

Interested in Renovating an Absolute Gem?!

Circa 1920's, this is a rare character gem - there were not many homes built in York from this era, let alone of this stately size. Known to locals as "Doctor Ward's" residence, as it use to be his home and doctors surgery quite a few years ago. This grand home has undergone numerous renovations over recent years, and the low asking price for such a large and unique home indicates that the seller is aware that there are still plenty more renovations needed here to bring it back to its former glory. The home definitely needs someone who has an interest in renovating.

Some significant work has already been carried out by the seller, including roof works, the outside brick walls have been re-pointed, the doors and windows are all new, white picket fencing is new, and most of the front verandah decking has been rebuilt, with a section still remaining to be finished off. Some of the works required to be finished off include replastering of the brickwork which has been repaired, some ceilings need replacing, and a laundry needs to be installed. The kitchen and bathroom both function, although could do with renovating.

The prominent corner location is amazing, at around 400m from the main street, just a short walk across the river. The block consists of 3 titles, and a generous 3301sqm of land. There's even a good size garage/workshop which is fully insulated, lined and powered.
