Set on large 761m2 corner block, your welcome to this restored 1890s symmetrical stone fronted villa is the bullnose verandah, supported by the recently replaced hand turned Oregon posts, and cast iron lacework. The heavy timber entrance door, flanked either side by charming leadlight panels leads into the wide passage way, with 4 large rooms, all large enough for lounge, dining room, or bedrooms, your choice. 12 foot ceilings, 4 fireplaces, glowing Baltic pine floorboards, and hand stripped from generations of paint are high skirtings, wide architraves and double hung windows, all rejoicing in natural light once again.
At the rear of the home is the modern kitchen/dining, featuring a homesteader wood oven, as well as gas cooktop, electric oven, plenty of bench space and built in cupboards, dishwasher provision and huge laundry then bathroom, featuring a cast iron claw foot bath as well as separate shower. Large 6.5x4m carport, recent 12×7.5m 3m high workshop with mechanics pit and 2 roller doors, 6x4m storage shed and new fencing to rear and either side with 2 sliding gates completing the package.
Located just 8km from the CBD and 10 minutes to our world class shoreline. Close to all amenities, shopping centres, parks, cafes and the prestigious St Michaels College, this could be your next home as is, or perhaps a large modern extension merging 1890 with 2016, or a fabulous investment opportunity for division at the rear, subject to Council consent.
A desire for acreage in the country is the only reason the current owner has considered releasing this wonderful home after years of painstaking attention to every detail during years of renovation, so heres your chance, contact Nick van Vliet for more information, Im here to help you.
