Real estate advertisements often toss up superlatives like ‘immaculately presented’ or ‘absolutely spotless’, when the reality can be somewhat less than the impression given. In this instance, there is no superlative that can adequately describe the condition in which you will find this stately family home. Suffice to say this is a home that has been cherished its entire life, and it shows.

Of a solid brick veneer construction, this home has all the features required for a growing family. There’s four bedrooms upstairs, the main with ensuite and private balcony. The kitchen opens to a comfortable rear patio overlooking the in-ground saltwater pool, so you can keep a close eye on the family at play.

There’s plenty of space for a pool table or other toys in the downstairs games room, with additional shower and toilet facilities for the guests who will no doubt wish to visit. An extra bedroom downstairs gives those guests, and you, a little privacy.

The family vehicles shelter in the double lockup garage, and there’s an additional storeroom and small office on this level. Dads will love the separate brick veneer workshop, and there’s covered storage for a small boat or trailer.

Generational homes such as 38 Holland St are a rare find in any market, and astute buyers will recognise the opportunity to purchase a home at a price not even close to replacement value.
