Wow, wow and more wow’s! This is exactly what will be on your lips the moment you enter this beautiful character home. What the current Owners have done to open up and renovate the living area which flows so seamlessly out to the gardens and alfresco area is simply stunning and very much in keeping with the style of home.
Although renovated to a modern standard the Sellers have kept the old Metters stove in the kitchen and the classic dado walls in the front lounge room (or study) and bedrooms. And check out that beautiful new bathroom! Heritage listed the outside has also been attended to with new weatherboards and paint. There is nothing to do here but relax and enjoy.
The backyard has been transformed and takes on a courtyard feel with the clever use of limestone blocks to retain and define the garden and alfresco space. The deciduous tree provides great shade in the summer and is a centerpiece for the garden.
Located across the road from open parkland and with views all the way to Thomson Hill this is a fantastic location to call home or somewhere to visit on the weekend or holidays. And you are only a short stroll to the Fine Woodcraft Gallery & Cafe in one direction and only another short walk in the other direction into town.
Of note: Although only 2 bedrooms, the front lounge room or study could easily become a third bedroom with the simple addition of a stud framed wall & door.
