Boasting sensational sunset views from its elevated foothill's location, 28 Heatherbank Terrace is an
impeccably maintained sandstone-fronted 3-bedroom home that's retained all its 60's-era
authenticity, making it a must-view for fans of this popular period's distinctively detailed and
light-capturing design ethic.
From parquetry floors and checkerboard patterned timber walls in the combined living/dining area, to
the exposed stonework and feature mirrored wall in the adjacent carpeted formal lounge, 60's
architectural hallmarks are abundant, and beautifully showcased by a light-infusing mix of big picture
windows and vertical banks of awnings that open out to capture welcome breezes.
Other original features to savour include solid timber built-in cabinetry in the dining room, a tiered
stone-fronted planter box that provides leafy separation from the lounge, panelled ceilings, wrought
iron balcony balustrading and a groovy banquette with bench seat in the separate kitchen.
If you liked, you could explore updating (STCC) kitchen cabinetry/appliances to something more
modern but still sympathetic to the home's era, the same with the modestly fitted main bathroom that
sits between 3 carpeted bedrooms, the master with a WIR.
Additionally, you could further capitalise on the epic views on offer from both the sweet balcony off
the formal lounge and a split-level backyard. Currently, there's a grassy patch on the higher section
where soaring gum trees provide shady spots for morning cuppas or evening cocktails, with a blank
canvas behind the double garage below that could become a veggie patch or maybe a separate
alfresco entertaining terrace (STCC).
All this cool 60's-chic aesthetic sits on a substantial 782sqm (approx.), block in the breezy foothills, a
short walk to bus stops to get down to Burnside Village, tasty dining spots along the way, and a swag of
popular state and prestige private schools, all close by.
