The potential for this house is enormous and there are so many options for would be buyers. All of this is located a stones thrown to John Curtin and within the ever popular Arts Centre precinct. Prior to coming on to the market, the vendors re-wired the property and undertook a large amount of work, including re-waterproofing bathrooms, re-guttering and developing the gardens, installing electric doors on both garages as well as a host of other improvements both inside and out.
