Be enamoured by this alluring, authentic, high set Federation home, capturing amazing views, while enjoying an enviable aspect. Set on a sensational 1369 square metre allotment, with enormous potential to extend and create your dream, this 3-bedroom, 1-bathroom home has much to offer. Ideally located, this ‘grand old lady’ is within walking distance to Northpoint Shopping Centre, a plethora of fine schools, parks, eateries, and cafes. It’s a mere 15-minute walk along tree lined Hume Street to Queens Park and a quick $9 uber ride into town.
Oozing century old charm, the many original features include wonderful, exceptionally wide timber floorboards, VJ walls and soaring ceilings, ornate fretwork, solid timber doors and windows with coloured glass panels, original tin window awnings, embellished with Victorian brass hardware and a stunning, statement cast iron fireplace, with mirrored mantle, in the dining/lounge. The 3 bedrooms peel off a central hallway, which leads to the lounge and then through to the simple, eat-in country kitchen, where the focal point is an old fashioned stove in the fireplace place nook. Tucked in behind the kitchen is the bathroom and separate toilet. The good sized living room enjoys the morning sun, as does the outdoor paved area and generous covered deck, where the elevated view and the 60-year old avocado tree can be appreciated. Entry into the home is via stairs, which lead to a wrap round verandah and sunroom, also offering an interesting aspect. The lovely newly erected white picket fence encloses the dog proof yard and the new double carport. A large garden filled with significant trees and native plants is the perfect canvas for a hobbyist gardener. Significant work has been undertaken to restore and repair the home, including extensive plumbing and electrical work and restumping, while maintaining the integrity and original features of the home.
The impressive allotment, coupled with many desirable character features of 30 Hume Street offers a sensational opportunity for a sympathetic extension to create a gorgeous, private family home with inner city convenience, warmth, and charm.
