The Story
Located on a 1070m2 block in the “old township” in the ever popular hills locale of Woodside, number 18 Elizabeth Street is a testament to the owners understanding of the term “keeping it real”.
The home will resonate with the savvy homebuyer searching for a property that will work with their desire to enjoy a sustainable lifestyle.
The north facing orientation increases the energy efficiency of the home, making it more comfortable to live in and cheaper to run. It has also allowed the garden to thrive and provide bountiful harvests of fruit and vegetables for the current occupants. Their dedication to permaculture principles will ensure that the new owners will also benefit from, and enjoy, the numerous varieties of herbs, shrubs and fruit trees. My personal favourites are the espalier lemon tree in the rear garden and the varieties of herbs growing amongst the pavers near the front door.
As you meander down the garden path, take the time to enjoy the low maintenance garden. On the eastern side, a paved patio boasts a rustic pizza oven – a well positioned outdoor zone, making the most of the warming winter sun in the cooler months and protected from the heat of the day during the summer season. Enter into the home’s interior, exuding comfort and an eclectic style that is undeniably appealing. The cork floored sun room is well positioned to make the most of the natural day light. French doors allow easy access to the earlier mentioned summer courtyard. This room could also be utilised as
a spacious 4th bedroom if required. Original jarrah floor boards are in great condition and make for a both attractive and durable floor surface suited to family life. The open plan living room boasts floor to ceiling shelving on the western wall with original sash windows to the east. The glass is reminiscent of an Art Deco style and most attractive. Snuggle up in front of the rendered fireplace with inbuilt slow combustion stove that adequately warms the entire home or simply turn on the split system air conditioner for instant heating (or cooling). All 3 bedrooms are well proportioned and offer good built in storage solutions. The family bathroom has been renovated to include a toilet, shower and vanity. A second updated bathroom is accessed via the rear verandah featuring a bath with overhead shower, toilet and sensibly located laundry room with under bench options for a washing machine and dryer. The hub of the home is generally always the kitchen and this one will not disappoint. Having benefited from a makeover, features include granite tops and an enviable free standing Euro oven with gas cook top and electric oven. The old range has been kept in its original position and can be used for ambient heating or for authentic old fashioned slow cooking.
The covered rear deck provides all year outdoor entertainment opportunities and overlooks the splendid and prolific back yard. A real talking point is the rustic wall featuring local Woodside soap stone as well as artfully positioned bottles and ceramics sourced from the block. The chickens are very happy and safe in their enclosure as will be the kids and pets be in the fully fenced yard.
This home is a real credit to the current owners. Why not take the opportunity to call by and assess its suitability to your lifestyle. I expect you to be pleased you made the time.
