1940s solid brick cottage | 367sqm block | updated character | Morialta zone The buying case for this property rests on its combination of original solid brick construction with meaningful modern updates, which is increasingly rare in the inner east. Double glazing, ducted evaporative cooling, and two reverse cycle units mean the house is comfortable without requiring immediate capital. The 367sqm block is generous for the area and offers off street parking for four cars, which is a genuine advantage in this pocket. This property suits a buyer who wants character without the full renovation burden, or someone looking to hold in a school catchment that supports long term demand. The main risk is the 1945 era wiring and plumbing, which may need attention within five years. The 1.5kW solar system is undersized for a family home. The fireplace should be inspected before use. The opportunity is in the land to house size ratio; the 139sqm footprint leaves room for a rear extension or studio subject to council approval. This is a hold and improve property, not a flip.
