There is something rich, inviting and romantic about old houses. They have an aura entirely unlike modern "McMansions" or "slick homes". People either love 'em or hate 'em..... but I would much rather renovate a home like this than build a new one with little or no character. This is a very solid house on sandstone piers and is double brick with new colour bond roof and gutters.
Renovations for this property are mainly cosmetic e.g. kitchen and bathroom, carpets removed and floors polished but the results will be stunning!
Merrywood currently has two (2) bedrooms, one (1) bathroom, 2 enclosed sunrooms, study off the loungeroom, a large lounge room with a gas heater and a dining room with a small wood fire plus gas bayonets. The large rooms are complimented with decorative ceilings and cornices, deep skirting boards, timber bay windows, flexible floorplan to make it into 3 bedrooms, and other surprise features of this era.
A workman's cottage would be perfect for extra accommodation for friends and family. There is a tennis court (also needing some TLC). The garden is one of Merrywoods most charming features and offers many cold climate plantings.
This c1920's bungalow is located in one of Leura's prestigious country laneways and within walking distance to the cosmopolitan village of Leura, with shops, cafes and transport.
