Situated in a quiet no-thru street, this unique property, built in 1925 has had one owner for 28 wonderful years. In that time, some things have been modernised but the echoes of the 1920′s are still to be found in the essence of the home design, its character features and external architecture.
The main entry porch is accessed via the carport and opens into the central hallway foyer. To the left is the main bedroom with ensuite which showcases patterned blinds and stylish plantation shutters for privacy and light control. To the right is the comfortable sized lounge room which offers both a wood heater and a reverse cycle heat pump. Flowing on from here is the open plan dining/kitchen area which enjoys the morning sun and views of the backyard. Original floor boards are predominant with carpet in the main bedroom and vinyl in the kitchen area.
The kitchen was updated about 15 years ago and is an understated workplace with wall oven, cooktop, LG dishwasher and a good amount of bench space. An intimate dining setting here is the spot for coffee and breakfast while for more formal occasions the dining room off the lounge, is dedicated to that. This room could also be a third bedroom.
The sunny second bedroom at the end of the hallway shares the ensuite with the main bedroom. The main bathroom featuring a claw foot bath, is convenient to the laundry area at the rear as well as the third’ bedroom. This is a clever way of connecting the rooms, thus creating efficiencies which make the most of the size of the home.
The north facing flat back yard is a private oasis which has pretty garden, fruit trees and plantings which invite you outside on a sunny day. There is a small patio area adjacent to the back door which is ideal for your outdoor setting and close to the kitchen area for entertaining. The front gardens will be a delight in summer with roses and shrubs in full flower.
There is a single carport on the right front side and a garden shed at the back for your car accommodation and outdoor storage needs. The home is insulated in the ceiling, has security doors front and back, has been partly rewired and has a security system installed.
Close to all the Inveresk precinct has to offer with UTAS, Aurora stadium and shops and buses are a short stroll away. Do yourself a favour and don’t miss this gem!
