Nestled behind mature gardens, on a quiet street surrounded by green spaces, this four-bedroom family home, is wonderfully located and oozes vintage flair. Set across two-levels, with multiple social spaces, generous proportions and clever floor-plan, the home easily caters for a variety of family needs and moods. Elevated views and warm timber accents lend a comfy, welcoming vibe as the home flows from rumpus to private rear gardens.
Handsome red brick and white weatherboard inform the classic façade. A driveway leads to double garage and there is dedicated off street parking. The front garden is beautifully planted, privatising and screening the home from the road.
A spacious living and dining area flows to traditional kitchen. Cork flooring is warm underfoot, a slow combustion stove with exposed brick surround makes a wonderful focal point; a delightful place to gather on cold winter nights. The original kitchen cabinetry with timber trim and pull handles are beautifully preserved. A built-in dinning nook is a fabulous original feature and enjoys garden views.
Three peaceful bedrooms, all with built-in-robes, align with a family bathroom with tub and separate toilet. The inclusion of a rumpus room gifts a marvellous place for the kids to play, and allows casual family living to thrive. A versatile space that could just as easily be a teen retreat, home office or cater for multi-generational living.
Exquisite wooden stairs with timber-panelled walls usher to parent's retreat, which occupies the entire second floor. A sequestered bedroom with ensuite connects to second living area and deck, with elevated views across rooftops out to mountains. A lovely place to chat and relax, perhaps a glass or two, watching the sunset.
Family and friends have a space to gather on the timber decking in the private rear garden and there is plenty of space for the kids to play - think kids tumbling, chasing on the easy-care lawns, shooting hoops on the dedicated basketball court.
