There’s that feeling, at the end of an extremely good meal, where one must loosen that belt a little to give the gloriousness of the feast room to proudly expand. This surprise packet of a home offers an experience akin to that post meal feeling of pure and simple contentment, and perhaps you will be lured into loosening your wallet a little after being nourished by its delicious list of features.
From the front, the home looks humble, simple and classic- its solid facade offering up textures of brick and stone with a tidy tile roof beyond the traditional front lawn. But stepping up towards the front entrance and happening upon the nicely sized front veranda, you turn back and realise that your tapered climb up David Street has resulted in a very cool vista indeed, over the undulating peaks of Mount Clarence and towards town.
This raised aspect absorbed, you can then take the first bite of the living areas as you step inside, where a large open plan area, modern and fresh, provides an indoor venue from which to gaze over the view.
It’s here the home comes into its stride, with recent renovations of floating honey toned floorboards and beige tinted walls giving a youthful feel to the space.
If things get a little hot in the kitchen, simply chuck on the reverse cycle air con, or open up the home naturally via the massive windows to let the breeze flow through. If the nights are chilled, and the ranks are being warmed by a hearty soup, then the same air con unit gives you warmth, with a gas bayonet as back up.
From the lounge, you roam around to the kitchen and dining area, slightly separate from the lounge but still with a good flow and excellent use of space.
The kitchen, where it all happens, is a renovated gem. Oodles of wood tones cabinets with sleek, extra length stainless steel handles, a huge pantry, stainless steel appliances and midnight blue bench tops make it just that little bit suave, and a great place to get a little decadent with experimental cooking.
The hallway which leads from the living areas isn’t just your average either, its extra width and open, with its feature rooms configured in such a way that makes the home seem twice the size it actually is.
First comes the bathroom, a classic design with glass shower cubicle, separate bath, pedestal basin and mirrored recessed medicine cabinet amongst stylish wall and floor tiling.
Then there’s the obligatory separate toilet- a room for solitude and the evening reading session (everyone’s guilty pleasure).
And finally comes the homes four, extremely generous bedrooms all between king and queen size with fresh colour palates and lush modern grey carpet.
Stepping out to the rear yard via the homes laundry, you discover a paved and limestone retained courtyard, that could be easily topped with a ripper gabled patio if desired. The yard itself is kitted out with a huge gabled double garage with drive through access, a selection of hibiscus trees and more than enough room for the human kids or fur kids to play to their hearts content.
Forget the “diet” and let yourself feast on all this home has to offer!
