It is rare to find a Federation home so impeccable let alone located in Stockton’s most desirable address in the dress circle location of Mitchell Street and opposite the cricket oval. It is beachside living with style and
character. Richly hued tallowood floorboards are highlighted with plenty of natural light that is often lacking in homes of this era. The timber fretwork has been restored and retained including a lovely archway in the wide central hall. A sitting room off the main bedroom features an ornate fireplace (converted to gas). This is
an inviting place to unwind before heading to bed. The main bedroom has a bay window that, with the addition of some cushions, would be a lovely place to read a book while enjoying the famous Stockton seabreeze and the gentle, distant crash of the waves. The house has a side sunroom with original coloured glass casement windows that open out toward the ocean allowing fantastic airflow through the house.
At the end of the hall, the second living area opens, wide, bright and airy to an inviting country kitchen and dining area. Adjoining this area is a study, featuring floor to ceiling bookshelves, another ornate fireplace and some fabulous recycled timber dado boards. When you enter the bathroom, a gorgeous claw-foot bath grabs your attention and you cannot help but imagine soaking after a long day at work in the CBD (short walk and ferry ride away) or after a long swim/surf at the beach.
Directly behind the main house, only a few steps from the back door on the timber deck there is a multi-purpose room
adjacent to the tranquil gardens. This room would be ideal for a mediation/yoga room,
teen retreat or games/play room for children. In the garden, there is a peaceful pond, surrounded by lovely trees and shrubs with a herb garden tucked away next to the rustic garden shed.
Accessed from the wide rear lane, is a very large double garage, with additional workshop area. Plenty of space for storage and access for van/boat next to the garage.
A visual inspection is a must to truly appreciate the essence of what is a unique, inviting and delightful residence. To make a private appointment call or email our office anytime.
