In close proximity to primary and secondary schools, sports facilities, SJOG & botanical gardens, this elegant family home sits pretty in one of Warrnambool’s premier addresses. Walking distance to CBD for business and lifestyle convenience, the kids can walk safely to school by themselves in a couple of minutes and you have an enormous block for the family to enjoy entertaining in style at the weekends.

The original 1950s brick residence has been extended and fully renovated by the current owners, providing for a substantial and quite enchanting home which successfully blends period style with contemporary luxuries, without losing the charm and character of the ’50s era.

The front formal entrance hall is warm and welcoming, featuring 9′ ceilings, decorative cornices, polished floorboards… It opens to a spacious formal lounge to the right, a gorgeous room with gas log fire and delightful curved cedar bay window which lets the morning sun stream in. There is a separate formal dining room just off the lounge which could also be used as an office/ sitting room and then a passageway leads you through to the expansive open plan kitchen/ meals/ family room – the Christmas parties and family gatherings will now always be at your house!

While the living rooms enjoy North and West aspect, the bedrooms are on the East side of the home. The luxurious master bedroom is off to the left from the front entrance hall, a lovely room bathed in morning sun, comprising retreat, ample closet space in dual WIRs and leading through to ensuite bathroom.

Bedrooms 2 and 3 are in the back wing of the house, both double rooms with BIRs, while BR4 is downstairs and will be the teenager’s paradise. A big room all by itself with separate entry – this room would also be perfect for those people wanting to run a business (e.g. consulting, massage) downstairs without clients coming through the house.

The central main bathroom has been beautifully renovated with spa bath, shower, vanity and toilet; there is a third toilet off the large laundry at the back of the house. The renovated kitchen has everything you need: new stainless steel appliances including 900mm oven and hotplates, dishwasher, a large pantry and open breakfast bar.

The house has been extensively remodelled, rewired, replumbed and repainted inside and out. Other features include gas ducted central heating throughout, gas instant HWS, full roof and mostly wall insulation and 4.5kW solar system to keep the bills to a minimum. Fixtures and fittings are of excellent quality.

The residence sits on approx. 1720m2 block in 2 titles with scope for rear subdivision at some stage, though I fancy your family will prefer to keep the gorgeous garden setting with fruit trees, vegies and lush lawns. Wide access from the street down the side of the house leads to a large double carport which doubles as an alfresco/ summer entertaining area and there is room in the back corner for more shedding. The garden is very leafy and private, safely enclosed for young children and offers plenty of room and diversity for them to explore.

An older style 20 x 30 detached workshop comes with 3 phase power, lined with concrete floor, good natural light and offers another option for the handyman or a rumpus room for the kids.

This is a fantastic property in a much sought after location. For genuine purchasers only, here is your chance to enjoy a high quality home in an exclusive neighbourhood on a large Central allotment with open space all around you. Call today for more details.
