Last Listing description (October 2014)
Revel in lifestyle, beauty and tranquillity, right in the heart of this prestigious residential suburb, only minutes from Mitcham Shopping Village, the CBD and mere steps away from some of the states leading schools. If you think that chickens, fruit trees and thriving bird life are benefits enjoyed only by those living in the Hills, its time to think again!
This exquisite Kingswood property perfectly combines the laid back country feel with the elegance and convenience of an exquisitely presented city home. Built in 1912 and standing in excellent order, this graceful villa residence encapsulates the charm of a bygone era, with the ideal blend of modern day comforts and amenities. From the original cornicing, to the casement windows, to the subtle use of leadlight, it is the finer details that add to the sophistication of each room in this house.
From the moment you push open the period front gate and make your way along the charming pathway with the sounds of birds chirping in the trees above, you will know that youve found the place you want to call home. Stepping inside and follow the polished floorboards down the hallway, you will be enthralled at the size of each of the large, light filled bedrooms. A delightful sunroom joins the two front bedrooms, providing a peaceful sitting area to unwind and savour the serenity of the enchanting front garden. A formal dining room presents the option of a separate lounge room or fourth bedroom and comes complete with superior new gas heating.
The light, recently renovated kitchen adjoins the spacious living area, providing a great space for quality family time. Sparkling clean, the kitchen maintains a classic style with modern gas oven, dishwasher and generous cupboard space. This combined living area overlooks the striking rear garden, where greenery abounds, fruit trees flourish and chickens happily play in their secure, neat purpose built coop. Generations of friendly galahs have made an outdoor nesting box their home over the years, truly a delightful sight to witness from the comfort of your own backyard.
Perhaps most exciting about this property is the freestanding self-contained granny flat. The flat stands within close proximity of the main home but comes with a separate entrance, providing the rare opportunity to accommodate extended family or others, as a private unit, use for a home business or simply provide extended living space. Complete with two separate spacious rooms, full bathroom and kitchenette, this annex to the main home is full of possibility.
A private driveway provides ample space for secure parking, with the ease of an electric gate. The large garage is perfect for undercover parking or storage, while a separate garden shed ensures you have all the storage space you will ever need.
