Situated on an enormous block and with views across Wilson Botanic Park is this proud four bedroom family home which is immaculately presented and offers a nod to previous Federation and Edwardian eras of Australian architecture.

Ornate facade features are on display from the front yard which is lavished in old trees and grassy picnic spaces. Inside, you’ll see a continuation of the era with vaulted archways, high ceilings, original timber-framed windows and adorned cornices. The home has tasteful modern touches however, in the form of quality floor tiles, fresh paint and pendant lighting.

The kitchen is stunning and the main focal point is the collector’s item bronze range hood which descends directly onto an island bench with a central gas cook top. Tucked into the corner is the home’s original wood heater which leads from an exposed brick archway up to the original chimney. Again, there are modern finishes such as built-in electric oven and microwave, a dishwasher and splash back tiles.

All four bedrooms are generously sized and boast window furnishings, built-in robe storage and plush carpet.

The bathrooms are remarkably in their original condition and buyers will fall in love with the brass highlights and authentic tile-work.

Raised garden beds, an original Hills Hoist clothesline, an Australian-style wrap-around balcony and undercover pergola are some of the outdoor highlights. The aforementioned front yard offers plenty of grassy spots to sit and enjoy a picnic under the dappled light of leafy trees.

Immense off-street parking is available in the large driveway and double lock-up garage.

Additional bonuses are solar panels to keep energy costs down, ducted heating and cooling and a plenitude of cosy garden nooks to sit and enjoy a good book.

Despite the serene location, you’re just 10 minutes walk to cafes, restaurants, Coles and Woolworths. Quality schools are less than 5 minutes by car and there are parklands and walking trails in abundance. This home is a historical treasure in excellent condition. First to see will buy.
