Refurbishing a late 1800′s residence can come with its challenges, but when its owner has a distinct style of her own, it can be a dangerous combination. Not here though as once again, we think Sheree’s nailed it! If you’re sick and tired of wasting your Saturdays looking at the NORM, bring your Funk & lets see a work of art in real time, we guarantee, its going to worth the entry price.
This 3 level Terrace may was built over 130 years ago, however its gone through an amazing transformation to reflect a mix of Victorian class & eclectic groove, giving you the opportunity to own an original. The rooms are spacious & each with its own theme. We revere the front sitting room, complete with working open fireplace either side flanked with some of the original magazines found within the home. Another is a classic formal space, either downstairs bedroom, dining or lounge. The kitchen is next on the list; a moody expose of brick, concrete & copper yet somehow, a dishwasher seems to make an appearance! The double concrete washtub cannot be ignored and the gas oven, up for the challenge of any seasoned cook that comes its way.
Taking flight up the staircase, another bedroom and the main bathroom adorn this level. Brand new, yet somewhat grunge & modern intertwined, we love the featured chocolate coloured brick & herringbone tiling, “ooh La La”! Above this on the 3rd level, the oversized main suite sits proudly at the front of the Terrace & with its double French doors to outside & fireplace in situ, the ambient temperature is sure to rise here. Yet another King sized bedroom is adjacent to the main, bringing the total possible bedroom numbers to 4.
Back on ground level you’re spoilt yet again, by the absolutely, purposely, rustic outdoor/indoor Rec room where the good times abound. Indulge yourself in this tremendous space that brings unity to the home where everyone will want to hang. A slightly removed open outdoor bath & shower is fully plumbed & operational, & is a haven of natural surrounds & intimacy allowing an escape definitely worth trying more than once.
Meandering grounds lead to the open lawn area, a glasshouse with a difference & an opportunity for a potential subdivision. But whom may we ask would you want to share this prize with? We are far from the madding crowd, yet positioned right in the heart of town & aside from the rockers who’d love to pop over & join the jam, maybe lets keep it just the way it is.
Thanks Sheree, you’ve done it again!
