“Sentimental: adjective- Of or prompted by feelings of tenderness or nostalgia.”
Touring through this much loved home, it is easy to see why the owners are so attached to the property.
Heart and soul has been invested over many years into renovating, styling and caring for the home that has such tenderness and such tranquil ambience throughout that it is a very difficult place to leave.
But, new renovation adventures have the owners reluctantly offering up their little gem to a lucky buyer, a buyer who can step in, unpack, and make their own memories between the beautifully styled walls of the home.
Greeting you from the street front, the home is an immaculate beacon, its corrugated iron cladding adding a rustic contemporary feel to the traditional character features, shady veranda and neatly manicured cottage gardens.
Through a duo of character doors, one carved wood and fly screen, the other chunky wood, you are welcomed into the high ceilinged entrance hallway, with dusky rose tones and glossy floorboards warming the space. An inbuilt bookshelf adds a quirky touch, a nook with the ability to include your favourite books and decorative finds to complete the personality of the entrance.
To the left is the master suite- a king sized room with sultry charcoal carpet, a high ceiling canopy with ornate ceiling rose and fan, and a large feature window with sleek white venetians creating the perfect blend of character and modern sophistication. A giant walk in robe leads from the room, with plenty of hanging space and shelving, and a full length mirror at one end for modelling that haute couture.
The adjacent second bedroom is equally delightful, its decorative fireplace and mantle a showpiece feature amongst art deco cornices, leadlight windows and a grape toned feature wall with contrasting caramel on the remainder.
The beating heart of the home can be found at its very centre- a magnificent open plan kitchen, dining and lounge room, connecting via French doors to the enviable al fresco deck dining area. This glazed aspect creates a beautiful connection between the indoors and the outdoor gardens, where a trickling water fountain creates pure relaxation.
The lounge room is a treat, with an inbuilt entertainment unit recess and shelving, ceiling rose and decorative hanging light, and reverse cycle air conditioning to warm or cool the whole living area.
A unique stained glass skylight sits over top of the dining space, which flows through to the kitchen, gloss floorboards adding character to the contemporary renovated design.
The heritage style oven recess has been converted into an arty set of shelves, lined with slate for a hearty texture effect. Granite look bench tops sit above crisp white cabinetry with stainless steel handles, decorative light hanging above, and overhead cabinets making short work of storage and the modern stainless steel oven and electric stove top finishing the perfect picture.
At the rear of the home can be found the laundry, and the third bedroom- a double side with large window and venetian blinds.
The bathroom is a sweet whitewashed space, softly lit and perfect for styling in any way you please to accompany the terracotta tiles, wall cladding, sleek white vanity and mirrored medicine cabinet.
Delving deeper into the al fresco decking area, the curved roof of the overarching patio bring elegance to the area, while the lush bamboo garden and water feature brings a touch of resort style living.
Beyond the deck, the yard stretches out, with shady established mop top trees, a river pebble and stepping stone walkway and a second sheltered entertaining area to the rear of the home.
A second laundry and workshop area, luscious lawn and colourbond fencing complete your garden retreat.
Located halfway between Middleton Beach and the CBD, you are afforded a location of convenience in a setting of beauty and love. What more could you want?
