This 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom, architect-designed home enjoys a northerly aspect with magnificent mountain views on a 1022sqm block, just 1300m (10-15 min) walk from the heart of Bellingen. With an adjoining council reserve providing a fully-maintained, large (3 acres) flat play area, this property enjoys ‘in-town proximity’, together with ‘out-of-town privacy’ to create an enviable lifestyle package that could be just what you have been dreaming about.
The street is a quiet and tightly-held cul-de-sac and, in fact, this property has only had 2 owners since new and hasn’t been offered to the market in over 20 years. Having been architect-designed and master built, it has stood the test of time very well and takes maximum advantage of the magnificent mountain views and the northerly aspect. In Bellingen, that means lovely cool breezes in summer and plenty of lovely warm sunshine in winter.
The home is quite unassuming from the front, although you will instantly notice the beautifully landscaped and maintained gardens and the large covered entertainer’s deck that is a fairly recent (and well-used) addition. There’s covered parking for 2 cars (1 x garage and 1 x carport) with easy, level, all-weather access to the house from both.
Step inside onto the carpeted floors and your eyes will be instantly drawn to the verdant vista of mountains overlooking the green, green grass of the reserve that is mown and maintained by council.
The floor-to-ceiling glass, set in polished aluminum frames, provides great light and, of course, capitilises beautifully on those views that are enjoyed from the open-plan living, dining and kitchen. The kitchen was fully replaced less than 12 months ago and offers good bench, cupboard and drawer space, walk-in pantry, stainless steel dishwasher and double stainless steel sink.
The kitchen/dining enjoy cork tile floors, while the carpeted living area enjoys reverse-cycle split-system air conditioning for ideal climate control all year round, together with a slow combustion fire for that cozy warm feeling on cool winter nights.
Bedroom 3 (4 x 4m) is on this upper level, with direct access to the covered, northern verandah, plenty of built-in wardrobe space and more of those mighty mountain views. The upstairs bathroom was fully replaced in recent years and offers spacious shower, vanity and toilet with lots of natural light.
Downstairs, we find a second, carpeted living area that still enjoys those views, and a cleverly-concealed laundry in a (large) cupboard. Bedroom 2 (4 x 4m) has direct access to the covered downstairs patio with more mountain views, walk-in robe and floating timber floors.
The downstairs bathroom has also been fully replaced in recent years and offers shower over bath, vanity and dual flush toilet in a clever design that also brings the outside in without any loss of privacy. The main bedroom (5 x 4m) also has direct access to the covered patio, a full wall built-in robe, more built-in drawers and shelves and its own reverse-cycle split-system air conditioner.
Outside, this property is beautifully landscaped and designed for minimum maintenance and maximum enjoyment, with a level lawn that is quickly and easily mown and plenty of mature trees providing privacy, beauty and a perfect place for birds to stop and rest or play.
This unique home boasts cathedral ceilings upstairs and nine foot ceilings downstairs and the elevated location is flood-free with previously mentioned, virtually-perfect aspect. If it’s town convenience with a rural feel that you are after, then you will be very hard pressed to find anything better than this.
The High School is just 100 m away and the family can walk or ride to virtually anywhere in South Bellingen without needing to go on any main roads. So, this property truly does make it very easy to ‘Live the Life’ that so many people dream of living……..Why not make it your reality?
