Architect's Childhood Home for Sale

This charming residence was the childhood home of an architect, who lived here from age seven to twenty-six. The house, built on a gently elevated plot next to a school, offers open surroundings with excellent sunlight and pleasant views. A garden featuring maple and mandarin trees extends to the south, enhancing the tranquil ambiance.

The house, constructed by the architect's father (a foreman) and fellow carpenters, has a robust and personal touch. Although the architect's mother lived here until recently, the building is 49 years old and might have termite issues. Therefore, the property is primarily sold for its land value, with the house included as an "extra." Note that no guarantees are provided for the building's condition if retained and used.

Despite these conditions, the house exudes charm and potential for renovation or reinforcement. The entrance opens into a sunny, open-plan living room without hallways, creating a welcoming atmosphere. The house surrounds the garden, offering green and sky views from the windows.

The adjacent school's lower elevation enhances sunlight and views, though the front stairs require materials to be hand-carried, raising construction costs slightly. Additionally, there is no parking space on the property, so car owners will need to rent parking nearby.

While there are no building restrictions, consultations for new constructions or renovations can be made with the architect who grew up here, adding a sentimental touch to any changes made.

Bus access to the nearest station is convenient, with frequent buses arriving every 5 minutes during the morning. The "Serigin Town" bus stop area features traditional shops alongside large supermarkets, providing diverse and enjoyable shopping options.

This property offers a serene and pleasant environment, perfect for those seeking a comfortable home on a limited budget.
