Last Listing description (October 2012)
This property enjoys a prime position in one of Bellingen's most sought-after streets, just 600 metres easy walk from the heart of Bellingen. The architect-designed, heritage style home, sits perfectly on this level 849 sq m block in this 'older part of Bellingen'.
It offers 4 bedrooms (or 3 bedrooms plus study...your choice), high ceilings (3.1m) throughout, 2 bathrooms, fantastic kitchen, open-plan living, polished timber floors, big covered deck and verandahs, plus a 2-bay shed/garage on a concrete slab with power and lights.
This part of Bellingen has always been very popular and tightly-held by those who can afford it, with most of the homes being 50 - 100 years old, or more. So, to have an almost brand-new home in complementary heritage style but with all the modern conveniences is a 'very rare bird'.
If you like quality, you'll love the look and feel of this home from the moment you arrive. From the street, this property is very appealing and it just gets better from there, as you step past the well-established gardens across the covered front verandah and onto the polished blue gum timber floors of the delightfully open-plan living area.
The high ceilings throughout are a joy to live with and the slow-combustion log burner creates a warm, cozy space in winter, whilst in summer the house is naturally cool, thanks to clever design, great insulation, cross-ventilation and cool summer breezes.
The main bedroom (4 x 4.5m) offers plenty of room, plenty of built-in wardrobe space, an excellent ensuite bathroom with extra big shower, generous vanity, dual-flush toilet and more polished timber floors.
Bedrooms 2 and 3 (each 3.5 x 3.5m) are also a great size and each has a full wall of built-in robes in addition to the 3.5 x 3.5m. finally, bedroom 4 (4.5 x 4.) is really a very clever, multipurpose room that completely opens up through timber and glass bi-fold doors onto the big, covered deck, meaning it can work as a bedroom, office, additional living space or whatever it is you may need.
The main bathroom sites between bedrooms 2 and 3 and is easily accessible from the living area. It offers floor to ceiling tiling, twin sinks, huge bath and dual flush toilet, as well as a separate, glass-screened shower.
The living area is fantastic and open plan, offering generous areas - living 6 x 6m, dining 6 x 3.5m plus kitchen 6 x 3.5m. The living area also has timber and glass bi-fold doors onto the big back deck (10 x 6m) as well as French doors onto the covered verandah. The large, covered deck and the bi-fold doors make this an excellent entertainment home where the outside comes in and the inside comes out.
The kitchen is great, with central island bench, plenty of drawers and cupboards, walk-in pantry, 6-burner gas cooktop, extra-large electric oven, big fridge space, dishwasher and double stainless steel sink.
Beyond the back deck, we find the 2-bay lock-up garage/shed complete with power and lights, as well as well-established lawn and gardens in a beautifully low-maintenance package, so there's plenty of time for swinging in your hammock.
This truly is a quality home with timber sash windows throughout, cypress weatherboard cladding, instant gas hot water and lots more, including a very large roof cavity, purpose-built with plans, and council approval, for additions.
