85 Japan Street, Warrnambool VIC 3280

This 1930s Californian Bungalow sits pretty on a wide-fronted 737m2 block in Central Warrnambool, within easy walking distance of CBD shops, restaurants and nightlife, beaches and foreshore. The property has been well loved and looked after over the years… in fact it’s been 57 years since it was last offered for sale, so you might not want to miss this opportunity to take a look!!

The cute weatherboard home has a lovely front facade and wide verandah, leadlight windows, formal entrance hall, 10′ ceilings, solid timber doors, arcs and skirts with hardwood floorboards untouched under the carpets. There is a front lounge with OFP, 2 large bedrooms (master with BIRs), neat bathroom, dining room with gas heater, kitchen, sunroom and back porch. The electrics have been upgraded with safety switches & fuse box but the house is mostly original inside with charm of yesteryear; there is definitely scope for you to renovate and/or add size to the existing house with plenty of space to extend to the North or West.

The house is positioned towards the front of the block with a driveway along the Southern boundary to the single garage & workshop. There is the old wash house and laundry out back plus a storage shed, greenhouse & potting sheds. On the North side there is a 5m wide strip which provides great access to the family sized back yard and potential to subdivide or add a second driveway. The property lends itself to keeping the house and adding a second dwelling (STCA) or

Ideally located South of the Highway in a tightly held Central pocket, with all amenities close at hand, this property really does offer lifestyle and location with stacks of upside and potential!
