Love is in the air, everywhere you look around, every sight and every sound. Combining the romance and intricate detail of the 1920′s and the class and sophistication of today, this home is a bonafide winner of hearts and minds. The love affair starts with its location – on the corner of two of the most historic original streets on the edge of the CBD.
Who wouldn’t fall in love with a life surrounded by equally beautiful heritage homes, with a lush green park at your doorstep and with the main street so close you can almost smell the coffee brewing. Then there is the facade, so incredibly cute it gives you goose bumps- the white picket fence, cottage gardens and quaint entrance veranda that frame the original frosted glass and solid wood door and decorative side panels the stuff of vintage movie sets.
The doorway opens to unveil an impressive entrance hallway, extra wide and with extraordinarily high ceilings and decorative woodwork creating that much adored feeling of grandeur and providing enough room for that statement hall table or coat rack antique piece. Veering through a doorway to the left of the entrance, you experience one of the finest renovations of a heritage living area you will ever see.
Two of the original bedrooms have been transformed into a stately open plan kitchen and dining room with French doors and windows, floorboards and a brand new kitchen that is sympathetic to the antique styling of the home. Gloss black bench tops combine with bright white cabinetry and antique reproduction handles to create a showroom standard designer kitchen. Additional touches work to enhance its “dream kitchen” status; glass display cabinets with down lighting, stainless steel range hood, oven and dishwasher combination and floor to ceiling cupboard space that makes the most of the soaring ceilings.
Beyond the double French doors and ornate screens can be found a delightful outdoor entertaining veranda deck which extends along the side of the home. Kitted out with a gas bayonet for heating and barbequing and surrounded by the extra height picket fence and manicured gardens, it’s a little slice of domestic heaven.
Back indoors, and the hallway bends to introduce the homes bathroom- a gloss white vanity, corner bath and shower and a toilet amongst soothing aqua tiles and a chunky sash window.
The huge formal lounge room is a perfectly restored step back in time- with three metre ceilings, faultless floorboards, an ornate fireplace still featuring the original antique tiles, carved wood accents and wrought iron surround, and a set of original frosted glass doors leading out to the front veranda.
The back section of the home continues the character in the front section of the home, and awaits its turn for renovation like the front of the home.
Two queen sized bedrooms, a double bedroom/sleep out and an office nook are nicely arranged on each side of the hallway.
Outside, a set of decking steps lead down to the yard and the vintage under croft laundry and workshop area.
