Lovingly & diligently built over 10 years in the 1950s, this spacious & much loved family home, on a North-East facing 607m2 block, in an esteemed pocket of Ashgrove, has strong bones, solid features, charm & character, and is on the market for the 1st time since 1969.
Within a peaceful & leafy location, practically parkside & walking distance to premiere schools & colleges and only 5km to the CBD, this delightful and much adored brick & chamferboard family home with 12 solar panels up top & a 5,000L water tank below, is robust & ready for a new owners.
Light & airy, with plentiful living & dining rooms, four practical bedrooms, a private study/office (which could also become a 5th bedroom), a large open plan kitchen at its heart, marvellous sun room, and an enormous downstairs rumpus/multi-purpose room & triple car, tandem style garage, this neat home is built to suit all kinds of family life & living.
All bedrooms, plus the study, have built-ins & a leafy outlook, with the main bedroom enjoying added spaciousness, air conditioning & a private ensuite. The main bathroom is retro with a separate W/C. The living & dining rooms also enjoy the comfort of split system airconditioning. A private laundry room is practical in position, yet discrete in location. And extensive cupboards and storage areas inside and out are a welcomed addition.
Hued in neutral tones, currently floored with complimentarily carpets & practical cork (no doubt covering quality timber floorboards), with higher than usual ceilings, ornate cornices, good lighting and a mix of casement windows at the front & sides and louvered windows at the rear, all blend to create a wonderfully welcoming and homely ambience.
Outdoors, the birds sing, the trees rustle and the gardens are considerable, lush and loved, with three timeless fernery/greenhouse spaces at the sides and far back yard. The highlight of the back yard is not just the gardens, fencing, secure gates & a neat paved patio entertaining area, but the historic “Pool Room” shed. This concrete clad timepiece was the original owner’s home, and now presents as a rustic ‘men’s shed / women’s retreat’ space.
This home’s family friendly floorplan is ample as is, or prime for rejuvenation. If the walls could talk, I’m sure they would tell plenty of magnificent, happy stories and encourage like minded owners to make this their new home!
