Rarely do properties of this calibre present themselves to the market and 163 Kadumba Street with a commanding street presence has been admired by many over the years. If only walls could talk, they would have so many stories to tell, and one can only imagine what has been before. The love, the laughter, the family gatherings, built around 1916, “Beaumont” has stood the test of time and is being offered to the market for the first time in the home’s history, passed from generation to generation.
Situated on a large 810sqm parcel of flood free land and spread over 2 lots, the facade not only hides a history but a home of grand proportions. One of the original Yeronga homes, extensively renovated over the years, raised to create two expansive levels of living the mirror image of each other creating the perfect dual living opportunity or just a wonderful family home. Wide and welcoming verandas precede an elegant and spacious interior full of the charm and character of yesteryear. The upper level retains the traditional character features with soaring 14-foot ceilings, VJ’s, breezeways, French doors, wide hallways and wooden floorboards complimented by a fresh, neutral pallet. The lower level connects through internal stairs has been created with the same character features, paying homage to the history and character of the home.
For many it will be love at first sight as they enter via the front picket fence, under the arbour and into a home with so much to offer and explore. The open plan lounge and dining on each level have been positioned to the back of the home, overlooking the beautiful, established gardens and also to take advantage of the northerly breezes. Each kitchen has fresh white cabinetry, gas cooking, dishwasher & great storage. The lower-level kitchen would create the perfect bar area or wine cellar if you only need one kitchen. Offering 6 bedrooms, 3 on each level plus a study (which could easily be a 7th bedroom), all bedrooms are oversized offering plenty of scope to add ensuites if needed. Each level also has a large bathroom with shower over bath.
There is a rare double carport + a tandem garage on offer. The garage has its only private entry and could easily convert to a home office if needed, or as the current owners have used a great workshop complete with toilet and small kitchenette. The beautiful established gardens will be the highlight for many, you can just imagine enjoying a cup of tea in what feels like your own private oasis. There is plenty of room to add a pool if needed.
