Even before you consider the charm of the house itself, the gorgeous rural outlook over the school ag farm and the central Grafton location has already seen a huge number of inspections but alas a buyer who is ready to go has eluded us.
We have interest from buyers who must sell before purchasing so if you like what you see – call the bank.
An architecturally-renovated home where style meets practicality and old charm meets modern convenience. Consider it 3 bedrooms plus a study or a second living area or four bedrooms – whichever suits your needs.
Built in 1927 by the milk carter of the day, “Hamilton” was built to last with sturdy local hardwood throughout and a design well ahead of its time.
Hamilton has been looked after over the years with a beautiful rosewood kitchen featuring a gas stove, plumbing for the fridge and a dishwasher. The kitchen leads into an open plan dining/living area which in turn opens up to a timber deck overlooking the pool.
In effect, this means that the kids (if they are capable of swimming of course) can be supervised from the kitchen bench.
Gorgeous pendant lights in the dining room hang like jewels in the dining area – arguably the feature of the home.
A close contender for best feature is the main bathroom which is sublime to the senses and pays due homage to the era of construction.
The en suite attached to the main bedroom has also been superbly renovated with timber-look tiles and modern fittings while the walk in wardrobe will keep the most avid fashion collector happy.
Side access to the house via a relatively new carport means dry access in the wet – a feature lacking in many older homes.
The high ceilings and the freshness of the paintwork mean that this property is a walk-in proposition.
There is simply too much to tell about this property but it is worth detailing the value of this location. You are a block away from the Grafton District Services Club, similar distance to a butcher where you can buy bread and milk, the same again for schools and a stroll to the Grafton CBD – all of this with a rural outlook!
Other bonuses include:
- Fans in all bedrooms plus 2 air conditioners
- A relatively new roof – fully replaced approximately two years ago;
- A new deck on the front (little more than a month old) and a one year old deck on the back;
- Tank water pumped to the kitchen cold water tap (so as to achieve the best taste and avoid chemicals);
- While the brickwork from the original fireplace remains in place, it can only be seen from the rear but as the current owner suggests – it is a pizza over waiting to happen., perfectly located in the corner edge of the pool area.
- Built-in wardrobes in 3 bedrooms, a stand-alone cupboard is an inclusion for the fourth.
- Did we mention the big storage shed (which could house a car) at the rear and the ready-made chook pen?
