Wonderfully engaging from the street, a charming traditional façade, picket fence and flourishing cottage gardens introduce this quintessential weatherboard home circa 1910 with a sun-drenched rear-east facing orientation. A strong sense of the period continues inside where the rich tones of polished timber floorboards add texture and warmth throughout, while higher detailed ceilings, picture rails, decorative fretwork, French doors and sash windows have been included in a lovely nod to the era. Prestigiously located on prized Falls Road with flat driveway access, the home is a leisurely 5-minute walk to the spectacular Olinda Falls and has rear access via Warwick Rd to a large 150sqm shed that has leasing potential. Framed with breathtakingly beautiful gardens that transform throughout the seasons on an elevated 2,712m2 – a supremely comfortable layout with generous proportions is complemented by lashings of alluring character.
Talking Points:
• Fireside nights in the cosy living area with a heritage mantle.
• Basking in the natural warmth of the sunroom where east-facing light illuminates the space perfect for a reading nook or a home office hub.
• Sunlit country style kitchen with luxe stone benches, leadlight sash windows, authentic vintage cabinetry and Euromaid Aga stove. There’s a homely eat-in space for a dining table to create a communal feel.
• The main bedroom has a delightful aspect overlooking the gardens, with a further two robed bedrooms separately located off the hall.
• Effortless flow to an entertaining or “lazy day” deck overlooking the gardens. Delight in winter views (when neighbours trees have lost leaves) to Silvan Dam and morning sunrises with the king parrots that come to visit for a daily feed of seeds.
• Torn from the pages of a Jane Austen novel, there are beautiful cottage and native garden areas with expansive vegetable patches and lush lawn that flourish with the abundant sunshine the block entices. Ever-changing, this is a garden for all seasons and there is always something new to see whether it’s kookaburras digging earthworms from the lawn or bees buzzing among the winter roses, daffodils, magnolia, rhododendrons, iris, lupins, granny bonnets, hollyhocks and azaleas.
• “Sunset o’clock” on the west-facing verandah as a golden hue creates a garden glow.
• Underneath, a room runs the length of the house accessed from the garden - perfect for storage or transformation into a man-cave/she-shed or a hangout for the teens.
• The bonus of a planning permit (very hard to obtain in the hills) for a double level entry carport.
Local Secret:
The enchanting location offers so much for families. Walk to feed the horses on Falls Rd, make life easy by walking to school, enjoy summer swims at the Olinda pool and there are a plethora of local walking tracks and vantage points to discover.
