With its perfect blend of Edwardian era elegance and the ultimate in modern living, this rare and remarkable early 20th century weatherboard residence, formerly the Roma Private Hospital, offers an enviable lifestyle in a beautiful ‘heart of Gloucester’ location. Grandly set amid spectacular lawns, gardens, and stately trees on a spacious 1210sqm corner block and with uninterrupted views of the Bucketts Ranges, from the very first glimpse, the beauty of this delightful property goes well beyond its undeniable street appeal. From the wide, covered verandahs, step inside to a superbly presented home with a wonderful sense of space and light. Period features abound including a wide central hallway, high ceilings, stunning hardwood floorboards, timber fretwork, dado paneling and an exceptionally beautiful colour palette throughout. The living and dining rooms are free-flowing and beyond is a lovely country kitchen with timber cabinetry, electric cooking, and dishwasher. Adjacent is a cosy breakfast nook and large pantry/storage area. From the kitchen, step outside to sweeping verandahs and a delightful, private alfresco area overlooking the fully fenced, lush, colourful gardens.
There are three lovely bedrooms, king-size premier and queen second bedroom each with French doors to the verandah. The third bedroom, a single lends itself to an excellent study/home office and with working from home the new normal, this beautifully presented space offers a very appealing working environment. The fourth bedroom, a queen sitting to the rear of the home would make an ideal teenager’s retreat/guest room. Centrally located, the light and bright family bathroom boasts free-standing shower, shower over bath, beautiful marble, and timber vanity plus toilet. The laundry with built-in cabinetry has a second toilet. The driveway leads to a double garage with automatic front roller doors and rear roller doors being manual, currently a substantial workshop, the garage has 3-phase power, and pedestrian access.
