For some, buying a house is purely a transaction. For others it is an emotional journey like no other. This house is one that will take your breath away, leaving you wanting more from the time you step inside. Originally located on Richmond Hill, the weatherboard house was relocated to Croydon, finding its new resting place sometime in the middle of last century. This classic house has been stunningly renovated, extended & restored to retain its character charm & original period features such as ornate ceilings, picture rails & decorative cornices, skirting & architraves. The front of this beauty houses 2 large bedrooms, including the master with sleek modern ensuite & large double BIR, a private study/5th bedroom with OFP & a formal lounge boasting an OFP & double French doors that lead to an inviting timber side porch with built in seating. The back of the house is a new addition, yet the two areas meet seamlessly, with the continuation of 3 metre ceilings & other period features to aid the flow. The open plan kitchen, meals & family area that is the hub of the house will add to your delight. With modern stainless steel appliances including a freestanding 900mm cooktop/oven, you’ll enjoy the ability to cook & prepare meals whilst interacting with family & friends at the large island bench or in the casual family/meals zone that accesses 2 tiered deck areas & a built in BBQ and wine fridge through large double sliding doors. There are also 2 further bedrooms with BIRs, laundry with built in storage & an impressive family bathroom with freestanding bath. Further notable features indoors are ducted heating, evaporative cooling, stone benchtops in both the kitchen & bathrooms, Tasmanian Oak floorboards, plush carpets & quality fixtures & fittings throughout. A neutral color palette aids the feeling of abundant light & space. Outside the quality continues with exposed aggregate driveway & path, use of wide strip merbau timber for all porches & deckings, a double carport & established gardens, including a well proportioned grassy back yard that is so often sought yet rarely found these days. Located centrally, you’ll find yourself within easy walking distance to public transport, quality educational facilities, parkland & leisure centres, as well as Croydon’s abundant shopping strip. Houses with this level of history & quality are a rare find so be quick to secure yourself a part in this grand ladies next chapter.
