This is no quick fixer upper, this owner has gone to great pains to create a home he would enjoy living in himself with a focus on good quality, a flowing floor-plan and practicalities too like the addition of a brand new ensuite and walk in robe off the master bedroom.
This definitely hasn't been one of those cheap and nasty quick paint job and new carpet renovations!
Looking to downsize out of a 2 storey home on a hill to be closer to town and within walking distance of great cafes, restaurants, clubs and the local shops and supermarkets, the owner picked this home to re-model and renovate because of its great location, Crown Street being considered a blue ribbon address.
The home suited because it offered all on 1 level living from the road with great potential side access to build a big double or triple garage out the back and offer off street parking for a van or motor home too.
The older style and character of the home appealed to the owner too with its high ceilings and its well proportioned rooms, he could see real potential here although the floor plan definitely needed some major work to create better flowing living areas and a central kitchen between them.
So the isolated and very much enclosed kitchen, which flowed on to the one and only bathroom and separate toilet was relocated to where there had previously been a bedroom and a gorgeous, open style kitchen was created to the rear of the home in its place.
Open to the spacious back living with a lovely leafy outlook over the backyard and green hills in the distance, the aspect is brilliant. New appliances, a raised wall oven and soft close drawers only further enhance your kitchen experience. This location had been completely wasted on a bedroom, as there was no flow between living areas or the kitchen because if it.
The removal of the old kitchen and the old toilet and bathroom allowed a generous bedroom to go in their place too. So the bedrooms now flow down the left side of the home and they open off the living rather than cutting it off as they had previously.
The generous, well lit front living room features a proper flu style combustion fireplace and air conditioning and it enjoys a great connection to the centrally located new kitchen, which in turn flows out to the spacious and open back living area.
Like all the bedrooms, the front bedroom has its own robe, a generous 2 door built in and it enjoys a sunny aspect and outlook to the front garden, like the other bedrooms it flows off the spacious front living room.
The next bedroom is the master suite with its more roomy size and its brand new ensuite and walk in robe. It boasts a ceiling fan and air conditioning unit too.
The third bedroom along is the one that replaced the old kitchen, bathroom and toilet, it's a nice size and like the front bedroom it enjoys a 2 door built in robe.
Conveniently located near the generous rear living, the back deck and the backyard access, you'll find the brand new main bathroom and a brand new open style laundry, which is quite handy to the kitchen too.
The back deck and backyard are lovely and private and open enjoy the same leafy outlook and rolling hills vista that the kitchen and back living boast.
A few lovely shade trees offer protection from the summer sun but the one at the back right corner could easily go to make way for a new garage, even with a big shed added down the back you would still have room for a pool, generous lawn and a larger deck if you wanted one.
Until you're ready to build your new big garage/shed there's a carport that will keep your car under cover and there's plenty of room down the side for another car or 2 to be parked off street as well.
Everything that's been done so far has been done to a high standard and done well with easy and enjoyable one level living in mind, but due to a transfer to Canberra for work, the owner's grander plans won't end up coming to fruition unfortunately and he will never even get to move in and enjoy the extensive work he has done so far .... which means you get a kitchen, bathroom, ensuite and laundry that have never ever been used and fresh paintwork and flooring throughout plus the potential to do so much more as time and your budget allow.
A solid, quality home with a fresh modern twist and unlimited potential .... For the young ones you might even get views if you go up!
With the Lake not 150m away and the fabulous facilities on tap in the bustling Belmont CBD only an easy stroll away .... there's a whole lot to love about the location too!
