What a great position and aspect for this generously proportioned, older-style, double brick home on a near-level block, just 1km from town! The first thing that strikes you about this property is its glorious street frontage – a border of flowering and deciduous trees, under planted with a swathe of bulbs – daffodils, jonquils, hyacinth and snow drops – that prettily screen the house from its quiet street(just a stone’s throw from the spectacular Campbell Rhododendron Gardens). The 4-season theme continues throughout, and is particularly gorgeous in Spring. At the front entrance is a portico swathed in wisteria and edged with fragrant daphne, welcoming you home with all the evocative scents of a cottage garden.
The interior of the home enjoys a comfortable layout with 3 bedrooms, plus a handy study/small fourth bedroom. The front door entry way is a spacious and slate-tiled, leading to a generous corridor accessing the bedrooms, all situated on the south side of the house. The L-shaped living area is divided into three sections, separated by archways and enjoying a sunny northern aspect. A large dining area/family room is central to the house, skylit and bright. Adjacent this this, overlooking the back garden, is a large, country-style kitchen (with walk-in pantry, large bay window and laundry nook), leading to an expansive, covered outdoor entertaining area. Entertaining is a pleasure on this sheltered terrace, flowing to a lovely garden, enjoying pleasant borrowed views over wooded neighbouring properties.
With such a great position in a friendly, quiet neighbourhood (with public gardens and bushland nearby), it is a very comfortable home in terrific original condition. A spacious, high-ceilinged garage is also a bonus. Although quite comfortable as is, for those looking for an easy project, this home would be a highly rewarding and straightforward renovation – with great ‘bones’ to work with, contemporising would greatly value add.
