The home has been meticulously renovated, and credit must go to our vendors for the quality, craftsmanship and utmost care taken in restoring this gorgeous 95 year old abode. Not a cent was spared, as is evident when you inspect the interior. A short list of works that have been completed includes completely re-wired and re-plumbed, new ceilings and cornices, new kitchen and bathroom, fully insulated with R-5.0 insulation, ducted reverse cycle refrigerated heating and cooling installed, ceiling and wall fans installed, wi-fi downlights installed, new window furnishings and external awnings, fully painted, new hot water service and countless other repairs and renno’s to make this beautiful old home new again!
Internally, the floor plan is ideal for a downsizing or professional couple looking to live the city life. And for those looking for a commercial premises with high exposure, the internal layout would easily convert to a medical consulting rooms or office space.
The property is secure and private thanks to a lovely front fence with electric gates for your car to enter. A tranquil front garden and gorgeous feature water fountain greet you as you enter. The portico at the front of the home leads to an entrance foyer where quality is immediately evident under 10+ foot ceilings. The unique Jarrah and Baltic Pine floorboards adorning under foot throughout were an exciting find when the old carpets and underlay were removed. These also, have been exquisitely restored. Two bedrooms provide accommodation, both include floor to ceiling built in robes and ceiling fans and are separated by the gorgeous three piece bathroom with heated towel rails for added comfort. There is scope to add a third bedroom to the home with very minimal fuss, and all that is required would be a stud wall to achieve this!
The chefs quality kitchen at the centre of the home has been superbly designed to utilise the space, and offers quality all round. Boasting stone bench tops, fantastic storage, induction cooktop and electric under bench oven and dishwasher, all the mod cons are here! Take particular note of the amazing steel railroad track beam in the kitchen. The owners were particularly thrilled discovering this and just needed to make it one of the outstanding features in the kitchen. It ties in beautifully with the pressed metal splashback and acid washed light fitting.
The lovely main living area at the front features a cosy fan forced solid fuel fire as the focal point, whilst a second living space adjoins this and also features a stunning original open fire place that draws like a dream! In the sunroom area at the rear, extra care has been taken to make a particularly interesting feature of the original decorative brick corbel (jut out). This area has louvre windows allowing a natural breeze, and also houses cleverly designed “coffee station”, built in study/home office desk, a second toilet and a good sized laundry.
Externally, the home sits on a town sized 526m2 allotment, with a 6x3m carport and plenty of room to securely park another two cars (at least) off street. A 6m x 3.6m Colourbond shed is ideal for storage and seldom seen in an inner city property. There is a lawn area out the back and established gardens surround the home, including a magnificent feijoa tree which offers plenty of fruit and an already thriving veggie patch. The current owners even have chooks in a pen at the side, bringing part of the country to the city!
