Massive price reduction, was $750,000 now offers over $659,000! Exceptional opportunity not to be missed. If the walls of this grand old lady of Bellingen could talk, there would be some stories to tell of the times when it was the site of many of Bellingen’s social gatherings. Today it poses an opportunity to live in a charming piece of history.
The circa 1914 heritage listed residence is grand in every sense. The four bedroom home boasts generous proportions, soaring 12 ft. ceilings, plus the hallmarks of its Federation era including polished hardwood floors, lead lighting, bay windows and exquisitely detailed embossed ceilings throughout.
The traditional central hallway divides the home’s bedrooms and living areas.
The bedrooms are all large in size, two feature open fireplaces and three also open onto the wrap around verandah.
The living spaces are large and functional. Concertina doors can be left open to create a spacious open plan living area which flows to the country kitchen at the rear of the home. Alternatively, with the doors closed there are two separate living spaces; one with a working fireplace and the other with a bay window which captures the elevated mountain views.
The kitchen features a walk-in pantry and stainless steel upright cooker with 5 burner gas cooktop. The bathroom to the rear of the home includes a claw foot bath. There is also a second bathroom contained in the external laundry.
A paved entertaining area overlooks the expansive backyard. This stately home sits on a sprawling 1300 sqm block with rear lane access, & it’s flood free! Whilst creating the perfect family friendly playground, there is also scope to subdivide subject to council approval.
At the back of the block is a funky 7m x 4m timber studio. This functional space includes a loft, which is perfect for storage or throwing a few mattresses on for a teen retreat or guest accommodation. French doors open from the studio onto a paved terrace.
The town centre of Bellingen and its cafes, shopping and restaurants are a mere 300 metre walk, while the Bellingen Primary School is just five minutes’ walk away.
