Beautifully maintained with a fresh update, 120 Docker Street is a three-bedroom, two-bathroom cottage in Wagga, offering an ideal family home wrapped in a great package.

The classic weatherboard cottage behind a white picket fence reflects immaculate maintenance.

“This is a classic weatherboard cottage design, where the owner has maintained the original charm and complemented the home with modern touches and conveniences during the renovation process,” John Mooney Real Estate agent Jason Kelly said.

The renovation involved more than just a few visual changes; it connected the main bedroom to one of the bathrooms, creating an ensuite with a walk-through wardrobe.

In addition, the owners have expanded the kitchen considerably.

“The kitchen is large for the home size and it’s all modern, sleek and efficient. It connects to the open-plan living and dining space beautifully,” Jason said.

The property has a large backyard with a shed, making it easy for a gardener to add their own touches.

“There’s a lot of usable space for veggie gardens, landscaping or even a large shed, with the property offering access from the rear lane,” Jason said.

“It’s really a blank canvas. Someone with an eye for outdoor spaces is going to thrive with this sort of room.”

The back deck is the best spot on the property to sit and enjoy the sunshine.

“Everyone who comes through sees the real potential in the backyard space, especially with the covered deck,” Jason said.

”Add a barbecue and some drinks and you’ve got a great spot to sit and relax.”

And with rear-lane access, it’s primed for a second dwelling, home office or business.

“Subject to council approval, of course, a development out the back would be perfect,” Jason said.

”A little granny flat could be put up pretty easily. Blocks like this are ideal for that sort of configuration.”

Located in the centre of Wagga, within walking distance of the best amenities in the town, the property provides its owners with a convenient, exciting lifestyle.

“We find that homes such as these are very popular among retired farmers who wish to be closer to the city’s amenities,” Jason said.

”But it also has a much broader appeal, and young couples or families are going to love its proximity to schools and shops, as well as pubs, restaurants and cafes.

“It’s around 400 metres to Wagga Wagga’s CBD and even closer to the medical precinct, so anyone working in that field will find it very convenient.”

With a classic exterior and a modern, sleek interior, combined with an extensive outdoor space and a convenient location, 120 Docker Street is an ideal family home.

Ticking many boxes, it also offers room to grow, a convenient lifestyle and beautiful presentation.
