70 Emmett Street, Golden Square VIC 3555
Four-bed brick veneer | former garage as rumpus | rear access and parking | bush-edge quiet pocket | needs cosmetic refresh
A flexible four-bedroom floorplan is offered here, with the main bedroom enjoying an ensuite and walk-in robe. The former double garage has been converted into a rumpus room with glass sliding doors and storage, so the living space feels larger than the 179m² footprint suggests. Wide verandas front and back, an outdoor living area, and concrete parking behind the picket fence make the house practical for daily family use. Set on 726m² in a quiet pocket near Sparrowhawk Gully Bushland Reserve, the property sits among established homes on substantial blocks. This house is best suited to buyers who appreciate space and are willing to invest time in cosmetic updates, with the layout already working well for family living and the rumpus adding flexibility for hobbies, children, or a home office.
The need for cosmetic attention may narrow the buyer field, but it also creates room for value to be added through renovation. The rear access and land size might support future subdivision or a second dwelling, subject to planning approval, and that potential may be a key part of the property’s appeal. Buyers should weigh how much updating they are prepared to take on and how they value the flexibility of the rumpus conversion and outdoor parking. The practical layout and established street position should hold strong interest, while the condition may allow negotiable pricing.
