Last Listing description (May 2017)
From quaint cottage style frontage, through the spacious, yet cosy and beautifully presented interior, right out to the private, lush back garden framed in greenery, this stunning 1950 s home is the very definition of an idyllic oasis of calm, in the heart of the action.
Superbly enhanced and updated by the current owners, living space flows smoothly, blending inside with out and offering a room for every mood and purpose. Each of the three bedrooms is an individual haven; the master with a lush green rear outlook through its floor to ceiling window and the obligatory ensuite, another with its own elevated dressing area or retreat.
Two living spaces can be utilised to match your mood. Winter evenings can be spent huddled around the cosy wood stove, glass of red in hand, in the front lounge. Relaxed daytimes or summer days can be spent in the family living room which spills out on 2 sides onto sheltered outdoor entertaining and the decked verandah that overlooks the rear garden.
An abundance of trees over the rear fence frame the large back garden with greenery. The comings and goings of a family of kookaburras that have also chosen this location for their home can be enjoyed from the verandah or whilst relaxing in the pool. Spanning over 900m2, the generous allotment upon which this beautiful home is set offers a sense of surrounding space from inside and out. Peaceful, pretty, quiet and quaint, truly a haven to retreat to at the end of the day, yet a stone s throw from the High Street and set amongst all the action.
