On arrival to number 6 East Street, Carrick, one is immediately impressed by the grand status and position of this lovely home. The wide grass verge and the well tended front garden creates a setback from the street. The simple floor plan provides gracious living areas downstairs, namely a large lounge room with an open fireplace flanked by French doors opening onto a flagstone paved, north facing verandah. Across the wide hallway and close to the kitchen is a formal dining room. The south-eastern corner of the ground floor houses a cosy sitting room/office. The sun lit kitchen and casual dining area boast tasteful high quality fully integrated appliances and views through the giant Wisteria covered pergola to the pool area. The laundry/storeroom and additional toilet provide access to the garage and woodsheds. The classic Georgian staircase with original cedar bannister leads to a light filled, wide hallway on the second storey. 3 double bedrooms, main with a large walk-in-robe, all have garden views. The family bathroom is spacious and stylish. The tranquil gardens are sheltered and expansive, providing privacy. Specimen trees, shrubs and large rose beds are a feature. A convict built brick lined well is 30ft deep and provides reliable all year round garden water from a natural occurring aquifer. There are 14 automated sprinkler stations spread throughout the garden and lawns. An inground pool is a main feature to the rear of the house. Generous flagstone pavers surround the pool and lead to the one-room cottage/pool house. The western boundary of the 2 acre holding was once flanked by stables. Today, 3 remain and are utilised as general shed space including a walled and gated chicken run.
