Last Listing description (March 2018)
Renovated & Extended
Sited on a large traditional 790sqm allotment in a quiet residential street amongst other similar character homes, this sandstone fronted villa of 7 main rooms has been meticulously restored and extended to offer spacious modern accommodation with the charm of the original construction features.
Tessellated tiles and ornate fretwork greet us as we arrive to a bullnose verandah, sandstone front and painted redbrick quoin work. A classic 4 panel front door and leadlight side windows offer a hint of the character detail inside. Polished timber floors, 3.43m ceilings with ornate cornice, archway and skirtings greet us we enter the original front four rooms, now the bedrooms, all restored with new ceilings, fireplaces and upgraded joinery. Bedroom 1 offers built-in robes and a hidden ensuite bathroom, with bedrooms 2 & 3 also having built-in robes.
An exquisite main bathroom provides salubrious contemporary facilities with floor to ceiling wall tiles, exquisite pattern floor tiles, down lights, free standing bath with floor spout, wide shower alcove with rail shower, recycle custom designed joinery, wide vanity, Villery & Boch toilet and a double width vanity.
An extended rear section offers a huge living / dining room allowing enough space for the busiest of families to comfortably relax. The original high ceilings have been maintained through the solid brick extension, providing a sense of light and space. An open fire place and ceiling fan will ensure a cosy atmosphere. Large sliding glass doors enable natural light to gently infuse and provide access to the outdoors.
A spacious kitchen/meals is adjacent the living room, also offering access to the rear yard. The original 1970's cabinetry is in terrific condition providing generous bench and cupboard space with functional appliances, walk-in pantry, dishwasher, rotisserie oven and a raised breakfast bar combining to create a comfortable environment for cooking and socializing.
Entertain family and friends outdoors in style under a spacious full width pergola. Cook up a barbeque and relax while the kids play on the huge lawn covered rear yard.
