What we wanted was a house that would look impressive from the street, have sun streaming into every room, and be convenient for the modern housewife. As written by the original owner (and builder) of this home and published in Home Beautiful magazine, February 1955. Luckily for the next owner of this home, it is still all of these things but modernised for the 2012 housewife (and house husband)! The views of the river are still gorgeous, the sun still streams in all the windows, the location close to the city is perfect to walk to work or a weekend coffee but now there is also a brand new kitchen and a heatpump. The three bedrooms are all spacious and have good storage, there is a bathroom on both levels and plenty of entertaining options with the garage-rooftop space, the front balcony or in the back yard. Light and airy, a stunning staircase, good off street parking, this house is a little unusual, but certainly a treat for buyers looking for an affordable home.
