Meticulously built in 1836 by the Ashenden family, this glorious bluestone home was the very first home built on the street, which lead to the road being named "Ashenden Road". Full of charm, character and opportunity, the property offers a split level home, separate studio, swimming pool plus so much more on a huge 2,197sqm allotment. An exciting and rare opportunity in the enviable township of Aldgate.
The home has been loved and cherished by the same family for the past 41 years. With additions to suit their needs, the home offers a flexible floorplan to allow for the growing family.
The main home offers a lovely country style kitchen, living and dining area, three bedrooms, bathroom, study space, and sunroom whilst the huge separate studio offers a multitude of uses. Previously used as an art studio, the space offers a light, bright and spacious open plan room, separate room, bathroom and kitchenette. A priceless addition to the home that will definitely be used for many years.
The spacious grounds are truly something special. Meander along the paths and admire the dry stone retaining walls and see where they take you.. whether you relax with a cuppa out on the deck overlooking the swimming pool or head down to the open space and admire the glorious gum trees. With an abundance of wildlife at your doorstep, you may even spot a koala or two! Private, secure, and perfect for energetic kids of all ages.
Ideally located just minutes from Aldgate, Stirling and Bridgewater, a 2 minute walk to public transport, 10 minute walk to Aldgate Primary School and a speedy 10 minute drive to the tollgate. Whether you move straight in and enjoy the family home for years to come or you're looking for an opportunity to renovate or extend (STCC), this is an excellent opportunity to secure a character home and a piece of history in the sought-after address of Aldgate. The Hills has a lifestyle like no other; something truly special...
