Sunshine Cottage c.1890 - Historic Charm, Five-Bedroom Flexibility & Priced to Sell!

They simply don't build homes like this anymore - and opportunities to secure this much character, space and potential for $660,000-$695,000 are becoming increasingly difficult to find!

Welcome to Sunshine Cottage, a beautiful character home dating back to circa 1890, where more than 130 years of history, original craftsmanship and timeless charm come together with the comforts of modern living.

Positioned in one of Casino's sought-after, established residential pockets, this charming residence occupies a fully fenced 626m² allotment with valuable rear-lane access, offering something increasingly hard to find: genuine historical character, a fantastic location and the opportunity to create something truly special without starting from scratch.

From the moment you step inside, the home's remarkable character is on display.

Soaring ceilings, polished timber floorboards, traditional double-hung windows, decorative pressed-metal ceilings, beautiful period detailing and a welcoming fireplace are just some of the features that make Sunshine Cottage so memorable.

Importantly, the current owners have already undertaken numerous improvements, including an updated kitchen, fresh internal painting, new carpeting, ceiling fans, lighting and air conditioning throughout much of the home.

With four bedrooms plus a generous rumpus room offering flexible fifth-bedroom accommodation, there's space for growing families, guests or those needing a dedicated home office.

The character is already here. The hard work has started. The exciting part is making it your own.

Unlike many older homes that require substantial work before they can be comfortably enjoyed, Sunshine Cottage offers the chance to move in, appreciate its history and progressively complete the finishing touches that matter most to you.

Whether you're searching for a charming family home, a character-filled property to restore to its full potential or simply something different from the ordinary, this is an opportunity worth exploring.

The home has also been subject to a building and pest inspection, giving interested buyers a starting point for their own due diligence.

A premium location. A piece of Casino's history. An opportunity to make it your own.

Beautifully renovated character homes in established locations can command significant premiums. Sunshine Cottage offers buyers a more accessible entry point with the chance to add their own style and improvements over time.

Our vendors are genuinely motivated to move on to their next chapter and have positioned the property at **$660,000-$695,000** to attract serious buyer interest.

After more than 130 years, Sunshine Cottage is ready for its next story.

Don't miss your opportunity to experience the character, space and potential for yourself. Contact the Ray White team today and make the first open home a priority!

For perspective, beautifully renovated character homes in this desirable pocket of Casino can command considerably higher asking prices. One is listed at the end of Diary Street for $899,000 for context. While those properties may offer more comprehensive renovations and additional features, Sunshine Cottage presents an opportunity to secure a five-bedroom character home in a sought-after location at a considerably more accessible price point.

And importantly, creating your dream home here doesn't necessarily mean spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on renovations. With so much already completed, buyers can choose the improvements that matter most to them, at a pace and budget that suits.

Call Alex Gibbon to book an Inspection or the first open home will be Saturday the 24th of October
