This elegantly styled home circa 1928 would be unknown to many. Tucked away on an enormous block of approximately 5200m2 close to the town CBD, it is very private but far from isolated.
The intricate detail and quality workmanship that has been painstakingly detailed into this home will amaze you. The home is approximately 50sq of living and includes 4 bedrooms, all with built in robes and all with French doors opening onto the extra wide verandahs. There is a dedicated study, an office plus a second study or library.
Entry from the front verandah into the main lounge is through impressive double leadlight glass doors with leadlight panels either side and above. The timber featured ceiling and wall panelling plus an open brick fireplace add to the warmth & ambiance. A magnificent silky oak archway separates the lounge from the dining area. Leadlight glass features throughout in the doors both front and rear, plus leadlight cabinets. Floors to the living areas are mainly waxed, rich timber floorboards.
The master bedroom also has a massive walk-in robe and dressing room plus a new classic styled bathroom with spa bath and double vanity unit.
Internal cooling is controlled by the well-designed rear louvres at the rear positioned to catch the smallest breeze for flow through ventilation, ceiling insulation, and split system A/C in the family room and ceiling fans throughout the majority of the home.
At the rear is a bright and airy family room ideal for casual living. The kitchen has also been refurbished with timber cabinetry and s/s oven, 5 burner gas cook top & dishwasher. In the kitchen there is also a second fireplace that has been converted for a combustion heater and also access into a small room which is currently used for storage but would make an ideal butlers pantry. There is access from the kitchen to a rear storage shed or garage. A large laundry is also built-in.
The main bathroom has also been completely renovated keeping to the classic designs of the residence and services the 3 bedrooms. There is also a third toilet for convenience.
The low maintenance grounds with mature shade trees and orderly easy care gardens and pathways have a separate private sitting area and an outdoor setting for entertaining plus there is a double sized concrete pad for vehicles. The property also has a security system, roller weather shutters, whirly birds and much more.
An opportunity abounds within the property. The size of the land and the close proximity to the hospital lends itself to relocating the home onto acreage and redeveloping the site into medical offices & associated services, council permitting.
