3 beds | 1 bath | 3 cars

If you are handy with a hammer and looking for a project to get your teeth into then this one is for you.

Offered to the market for the first time in over 50 years, this family home is crying out for total overhaul.

The first step to making the most out of a renovation project is getting the location right. This weatherboard and tile home can be found in sought-after Desmond Street. It is just waiting for its new owner to make it their own.

"Requiring more than a lick of paint and new carpet, the bones are still pretty good," says Katrina Radnidge. "This property is for the enthusiastic renovator."

The home offers three large bedrooms, a laminate kitchen and two lounge rooms, one with split air-conditioning.

There is also a main bathroom with an extra toilet and laundry.

Plus there is the potential to put a great alfresco area

The home is on a large block with access to the double garage and garden shed.

Just remember it is better to buy the renovator in the good street than the best house in the worst street.
