This formerly lovely California bungalow on a corner block in a good location has so much potential for transformation it’s likely to have keen renovators lining up to have their auction card the last one held aloft. With original features such as ornate plaster ceilings, picture rails and magnificent leadlight upper panes in windows – including a bay at the front – the house has all the ‘bones’ in place to make it a gem of the future. There are three bedrooms, a large lounge room with a gas heater set in the original brick fireplace, and a kitchen-meals area that’s basic at best. This inspiring challenge of a place also has a good-sized backyard and plenty of off-street parking.
