If you are looking for a classy home on a large block, some period charm and an opportunity to add value, this impressive home will take some beating. A cliche? Yes, but this home must be seen to be really appreciated.
Behind the brown brick exterior, this property is well proportioned with size in all the right places, many examples of quality craftsmanship and some lovely period features. Built wide across the block to maximise Northerly aspect, the house is set back on the approx 1012m2 block but has ample space in the backyard for kids to run & play. It is located in a quiet area surrounded by quality homes, close to a number of schools and local shops and has some rural views to the NE.
The front entrance hall has double door entry and leads to the sun-filled formal lounge and formal dining area. 9′ ceilings, solid timber arcs, skirts and decorative cornice are immediately evident… the untouched floorboards lie in wait under the carpets and will complete the picture.
There is a door through to the kitchen, with plenty of cupboard & preparation space, which is open to the meals/ family room area – spacious and overlooking the back yard. Adding a conservatory/ outdoor entertaining area here would be spectacular. The laundry is close by, which is convenient and there is even a drying cupboard for wet clothes which is always handy.
The West wing of the house contains 3 large bedrooms with plenty of BIRs, each accessible via the long hallway. The family bathroom is conveniently located and has separate bath & shower with separate toilet. There is an ensuite bathroom to the grand master bedroom and while both bathrooms are original, they are large and have plenty of size to work with. Carpets, drapes and light fittings are in good order throughout, there is a new gas ducted central heating system in the floor and plenty of storage space throughout the house.
The garage is deceiving too – just single width, but deep enough for 3 cars or 2 plus a generous workshop/ rumpus room. Gardens have been well maintained over the years and offer privacy out back. All up, this is a fantastic property that is far from your run-of-the-mill 3BR brick veneer… lots more to offer if you really appreciate quality craftsmanship.
