Last Listing description (December 2019)

Constructed circa 1870, this charming sandstone home offers all that would be expected of a beautiful and well maintained property of this era.

Situated on a large level parcel of land (881m2), this versatile family home in the much sought after area of New Town offers the combination of both location and style.

From the initial entrance through the front gates, the beautiful lattice verandah and hand carved sandstone steps, your view of the inside of the home will begin with original timber boards which run through the length of the lovely wide hallway, casting your mind to the romance and classic style this home has to offer.

Upon walking through, there is a delightful 4th bedroom, currently used as a lounge room with authentic timber mantel and surrounds, plus a gorgeous bay window. This room is light and bright and is a lovely quiet spot away from the busy family area of the home.

The main bedroom suite is quite generous and has just had a fantastic en-suite makeover. Also includes a walk-in robe and original fire place.

You will be impressed with the family bathroom also having recently had a total renovation, complete with floor to ceiling tiles, a large shower, toilet, heated towel rail and spa bath.

Whilst offering a mix of character and elegance the home also provides contemporary elements with an extension of a bright open plan living/family and kitchen. Heating is at the touch of the button with Rinnai Gas heating (connected from the street).

The large modern kitchen has induction hot plates, a wall oven and dishwasher, with lots of storage and bench space. Off this area is the laundry and mud room complete with heaps of storage.

A stunning sandstone brick wall is another beautiful aspect of the home and in this case used to bring this outdoor feature into the main dining and hall.

You will be pleasantly surprised by the hidden attic room which can be used for anything including a teenagers retreat or storage.

Outside entertaining is offered with a large undercover area plus a verandah, perfect for those lazy days to sip a wine or enjoy a latte.

Dual access to the property is either via Forster Street or the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in Alfred Street.

There is lots of off street parking plus a carport and with three handy sheds for storage and workshop your home is complete.

Please call Vickie for more information.
