You can hear the sound of waves washing onshore so quiet and peaceful is this character beachside home, just one block from Bellerive Beach yet on the doorstep of so many amazing recreational and entertainment options. South Street, with its width and tree-lined boulevard feel, is one of the most admired addresses on the Eastern Shore and this four bedroom family home certainly has great street appeal as well as a prime location.
Everything is just right' from the lovely entrance with its rose-lined picket fence and pretty box hedge, to the ceiling cornices, period picture rails, stain glass window features and boxed curtain rails, this is neat as a pin and very desirable. Downstairs there are three bedrooms. Two have the original fireplaces with celery pine mantle pieces. The third, the home's original master bedroom before upstairs was built, has two double built-in wardrobes and a lovely bay window looking out over the garden. The bedrooms all have unique features, including one with painted timber paneling and ceiling roses. A family bathroom with separate shower and toilet is located nearby together with a sizeable laundry and plenty of storage.
The hallway flows into a substantial open plan formal living, dining and family room with double French doors leading to a protected and secluded backyard with established trees for privacy, complete with rotunda. Back inside and there is the kitchen and casual dining area with garden outlook, capturing the afternoon sun. The kitchen has an L-shaped bench, perfect to put a couple of stools at for friends and family to chat while you prepare the meals.
Flooring is a combination of timber polished floors, tiles and carpet.
Upstairs is a major extension continuing the cottage feel offering a fantastic parents' retreat consisting of large master bedroom with water views, a private deck through French doors, an ensuite, separate large walk in wardrobe and a sitting room or study.
There is ample off street parking in a paved driveway and best of all, it is just a whistle from a variety of schools, Blundstone Arena and the quaint Bellerive village shopping precinct with its cafes, specialty shops and services. A special family home that will provide a haven to create many great memories and nothing to do but move in and enjoy.
