So the lyrics of that ultimate Queen song go, suggesting victory, success and pride.
Purchasing this little affordable gem in Champion Street could well be a defining moment that needs a triumphant song of its own!
Its first celebrated moment is the location, mid way between the CBD and the beach allowing you to be in close striking range of work and leisure.
Its second crowning glory is the ripper raised deck entertaining area that shades the front of the home, and takes full advantage of the home’s vista back towards the sparkling lights of Mount Clarence and town. It’s a great possie in which to crank up the barbecue, pull up a comfy pew and relax away your evenings.
Then there’s the home’s interior, which has seen recent renovations to enhance the original character features with a modern twist. Upon stepping through the front door, a high ceilinged hallway bends and winds through the home, introducing a variety of rooms as it goes with soft blue walls, storage and solid original floorboards.
First comes the amazing formal lounge room, with a set of glass doors that lead out to the deck and create a seamless link between the indoors and out. The original fireplace with wooden mantle ties in with the floorboards, modern palate and high ceilings to create a hearty, feel good space.
A bend in the hallway provides an entry point to the home’s first two queen sized bedrooms, the master featuring shiny white full wall built in robes, modern charcoal carpet and the finest in chunky character windows for a sense of age and solidity.
The central hub of the home is the kitchen and dining room duo which are separated by a large archway. The kitchen is an older style with a modern twist, stainless steel preparation benches providing a configuration that is adaptable to your needs. It exudes a country feel, with an upright oven and stove, under bench and open overhead storage, hanging strip for pots and pans, and a storage shelving nook recessed into the wall. The dining room provides effortless comfort, with a tile fire and skylight to set the mood.
Running along the rear of the home, a sunroom provides a viewing area over the patio and yard beyond, as well as being an introduction point for the remaining double bedroom with gabled ceiling, the open style spacious laundry, separate refurbished loo, and the home’s bathroom. Also showcasing recent renovations, the bathroom features a large open shower space with curtain, and a classic, curvaceous sink and vanity with frosted glass cabinets and stainless steel handles.
The external patio offers a second choice for entertaining in a more secluded environment, and looks out over the huge 971 square metre grassy yard, huge double garage and blank canvas to use (or sub divide) as you require.
Crank up the stereo, put your arm around your partners shoulder, raise your glass and celebrate your first home.
