Packed with years of memories and good times, this grand home is now being offered to a new 'custodian' who will love it and make it their own as the current owners of 25 years have.
From the moment you enter and approach the front door you will be greeted with the special magnetism of the home where a sprawling, yet practical floorplan is generously spread over 3 levels maximising lifestyle options for a family of all ages. The colonial brick façade surrounded by an established cottage style garden is complemented by traditional timber features, stunning stained glass, and wrap around open verandah on two sides. The character and warmth these features bring to a traditional home don't stop there with a working brick fireplace a charming feature of the main lounge. The warmth and appeal of this home is very real, and we are confident it will grab your attention immediately.
Entering onto the middle level of the property, you are greeted by a formal entry majestically created by a soaring vaulted ceiling with access leading seamlessly to all areas of the home. A split staircase invites you up to the bedroom level and down to more casual living areas, with separate living, dining and family meals rooms and kitchen also opening separately off this space. The kitchen is huge by any standards and with its solid timber cupboards, abundant benchtops, double pantry, double oven, dishwasher and north facing aspect will be the envy of many. The family meals room opens - as expected - onto the side deck which forms part of the open verandah, wrapping two sides of the home.
Whilst options exist to easily modernise and introduce contemporary design and floorplan to this level of the home, the existing spaces provide traditional areas that are generous and appealing by any standards.
The upper level accessed by a half staircase from the entry perfectly accommodates the large master suite and three additional bedrooms. Extra large ensuite, abundance of robes, and built-in linen / storage, family bathroom and features such as new carpets will be what you would expect in a home of this calibre.
Lower to the main living area, access by a further half staircase are a series of spaces that with their size and convenience make this a standout property. Street access to this level allows separate entry to the home office, separate rumpus and via the staircase to the upper level of the home. The third bathroom, laundry, storeroom and double garage are all part of this lower floor plan. A hidden 'around the corner' gem is the unexpected and oversized room that is just waiting for someone who needs lots of space and has a little creativity. Massive and yet undeveloped, but ready to use, is the perfect teenagers' retreat, larger office space, gym, studio or craft room – once again with external access.
Sprawling is too small a word for this property and 'memory making' too limiting as a descriptor. It has the scope and potential to be whatever you choose for your family and lifestyle, whilst providing the comfort, space and convenience you would expect to be able to move straight in.
It's unique, it's characterful, and it's ready for its new owners.
