Last Listing description (June 2020)
The gentleman's bungalow that rises to a surprise second level simply gets better with every step - and passing year - on its tightly held Joslin parcel of some 810sqm.
Built C1925, a home of this scale and character is no stranger to the wide, tree-lined boulevards of a highly-sought suburb with parks, reserves, The Avenues and Linear Park trial on its immediate radar.
Sandstone, tessellated tiles, leadlight and a gabled silhouette behind a brush fence ensure its first impression follows the script of a classic 5-bedroom home adored for 23 years by its current custodians.
With its wide entry foyer, grand spaces, lofty ceilings and fireplaces, its original portion is as expected...until you discover the sauna and an updated ensuite with the dimensions to rival most bedrooms.
Head up the stairs to discover not only two more bedrooms and a lounge/kids retreat - but a mezzanine that suddenly reveals the true extent of the rear addition...
Exposed brick, timber floors, a wide lens of a big backyard, cosy fireplace and your very own wet bar form the crowd-pleasing prelude to yet another addition: a galley kitchen and its partnering conservatory.
Like something out of country England, a sea of colonial style windows and French doors bring the cottage gardens inside. You could be anywhere...
But you're actually just a 5-minute drive from The Parade and another five from the CBD. That's Joslin. This is home.
