Landmark Coffs Harbour homes come up every now and then, and this is certainly one of them. With one owner since the mid 1960s, the history and love that has gone into the property is immediately evident, and a new owner will be very proud to call 55 Raleigh Street home. With a great address, and location, the proximity to town and the golf course will also be very attractive for buyers keen to reside or invest close to the CBD. This is city living, but without the city feel. Elevation, light and the reserve backdrop (RE1 zoned – parkland/recreational use only) provide a bright airy feel throughout the home, as well as privacy. Together with the potential this property offers, it is just a question of a buyer putting their own mark on it, and making it their special residence.
The sunny front porch at entry makes a great spot in the mornings for the early cup of tea, and the breeze and spaciousness of the rear verandah provide comfort and reserve/golf course views for further relaxation during the day/evening. The entry/ground floor level is open with the very large living/dining room that leads to the more casual sunroom, before opening out to the verandah. The private master bedroom includes a wall of built-in robes, ensuite, and access out to the verandah, making it a very relaxing retreat. The central kitchen is welcoming and is the hub of the home, with an enormous walk-in pantry. Three more bedrooms, all with built-ins, and the main bathroom complete this level.
Downstairs is a revelation. The basement level comprises a huge rumpus area with bar, another living room/5th bedroom (together with a pot belly stove), additional shower and WC, generous garage (5.7m x 9m), large laundry, workshop plus more storage underhouse, and the barbeque terrace (overlooking the pool and across the reserve to the golf course).
Finally, the location. Well, golfers will be excited as the Coffs Harbour Golf Club is right there! And anyone wanting to be very close to town will certainly appreciate the proximity to the CBD (schools, shops, medical centres, professional businesses) as well as the very short distance to the airport, university, harbour and restaurants.
