If you've ever driven along Limestone Avenue, chances are you've slowed down to admire this captivating red brick home. Tucked behind established gardens and steeped in heritage charm, it's a residence that leaves a lasting impression. Now, for the first time in many years, it's ready to welcome a new family.
This home beautifully blends the character of its era with the comfort and practicality of modern living. Offering an impressive 229m� of living space on a substantial 1,010m� block, this is a property that offers far more than just good looks.
Inside, you're greeted by 9-foot ceilings, polished Cypress Pine floors, and hand-crafted Cedar timber sash windows-details that whisper of craftsmanship from a bygone era. But don't be fooled by its age, this home is entirely move-in ready, having been lovingly maintained and beautifully renovated and extended over the years.
At the heart of the home is a spacious open-plan living and dining area that flows effortlessly into a large, well-appointed kitchen. With a walk-in pantry, generous island bench, and abundant storage, it's ideal for both daily life and weekend entertaining. Cedar French doors open from the kitchen to the garden, allowing the indoors and outdoors to connect seamlessly.
The front living room, complete with a cosy fireplace, makes for a perfect retreat, while a second, separate living area offers flexibility and opens directly to the covered alfresco.
There are four bedrooms in total, with the main suite privately positioned in its own wing. Featuring a walk-in robe, a beautifully renovated ensuite with a freestanding bath and separate shower, and its own set of Cedar French doors to the rear garden, it offers a sense of escape. The main bathroom, also renovated, is equally well-appointed.
But it's the connection to the outdoors that truly sets this home apart. With three sets of Cedar French doors inviting the outdoors in, and flooding the home with natural light, every room feels bright and welcoming.
Step outside to a covered alfresco area, complete with automatic shade screens-perfect for year-round entertaining. Surrounded by lush, manicured gardens and serviced by a 10,000L rainwater tank, the backyard feels more like a private oasis than a suburban yard. You'll be forgiven for thinking you're on holiday every day of the year.
Comfort is assured, with ducted reverse-cycle heating, three split systems and that wonderful fireplace for chilly winter nights. Crimsafe security screens offer peace of mind. A fully enclosed secure carport with internal access and a large storeroom completes the package.
This is a home that not only catches the eye but lives up to the promise-rich in character, generous in space, and ready for its next chapter.
