Inner city home in quiet location encased 4727 m2 of landscaped gardens.

Sellers say, “We were looking for a house with character, on a larger than normal block within walking distance to town. Mature trees and a view would be a bonus. So you could not believe our luck to find this comfortable home.

As we have renovated we have come to appreciate the way the house has been built to maximise the winter sun and capture the summer breezes. The garden has been simplified and access has been gained to the rear of the property via the meandering pathways, allowing us to fully enjoy the beautiful trees and rock outcrops. As we come to the end of this project we should be sitting back and enjoying the view. Instead we feel that we are ready for a new challenge and have bought a home on a lake in Tasmania. We hope who ever follows us will enjoy living here as much as we have – where else can you have a shower and watch the rodeo at the same time?”

Original timber floors, pressed metal ceilings and sash windows are a feature of this home which was built in the late 1800s. The three bedrooms are all doubles with another room having potential as a 4th currently being used as a study. The master bedroom has Ensuite, dressing room and walk in robe.

A spacious kitchen and dining; ample room, pantry space, stunning ceiling line, lighting, an island bench plus ample other bench space leading to your picture window to the garden.

Two Lounge/Living areas, one a sunroom style private room off your front verandah, this leads one into the main Lounge and on into the kitchen, then out from the kitchen to the expansive undercover outdoor living area. This would cater well for large groups, it wraps around on the southern side, affording you another sitting area to watch the children play; or simply read, watch your garden grow and listen to the birds.

There is a wonderful belt of established trees and an under storey of paths weaving their way through the various sections of this lovely garden, over the large rock shelves to a setting giving you a relaxing vantage point to enjoy your private inner city hideaway.

The restoration which has gone into this residence by current owners is remarkable. Our gentleman owner carefully restored the original heavy hinges of the doors, the knobs, keyholes and metal door mechanisms. There is not an unfinished element that remains to be done. Should you be fortunate enough to make this your home you will enjoy very much this home. A comfortable home developed over time, a labour of love and united passion, attention to detail. A classic, yet stylish residence, one which I have no doubt will appeal to all.

We invite your attendance at our scheduled Open Home times; or by appointment.
