A Character Villa Ready for its Next Chapter

For approximately 120 years, this much-loved Templeton home has stood amongst mature trees and established gardens, welcoming generations through its doors. Remarkably, only three families have called it home and now the opportunity has arrived for someone new to become part of its story.

From the moment you approach the classic weatherboard exterior and front veranda, there is a sense that this is more than just another house. It is a home with warmth, personality and the kind of character that simply cannot be recreated in a modern build.

Inside the layout offers high-stud ceilings with four well-proportioned bedrooms, a large kitchen/dining area, a spacious separate lounge and a dedicated separate laundry. The renovated bathroom, separate toilet and bedroom provide a glimpse of what can be achieved, while the remaining spaces offer exciting scope to restore, modernise and add value in your own style.

Importantly, some of the less visible work has already been completed. The home has been fully rewired with modern TPS wiring, the majority of the exterior cladding was replaced by the previous owner and insulation was installed in both the walls and roof cavity, whilst two heat pumps provide year-round comfort. All EQC work has also been completed.

Outside, the substantial 1,016m² section feels private and established, with mature trees, gardens and plenty of room for children and pets to explore. There is space for summer entertaining, backyard games or further landscaping, along with excellent off-street parking.

The impressive three-car garage and workshop provide room for vehicles, projects, hobbies and storage, an increasingly valuable feature for tradies, car enthusiasts or anyone who enjoys having space to work.

Whether you are a first-home buyer looking to create something special, a renovator searching for your next project, an investor recognising the potential, or simply someone who has always dreamed of owning a character home, 12 Kirk Road offers a rare opportunity.

The foundations of a wonderful home are already here. All it needs now is someone with the vision to love it, enhance it and carry its story forward for many more years to come.
