** For Sale by Auction - Saturday Aug 23rd at 11:30am**
Nestled in a very quiet pocket of Black Forest, amongst other well-kept and equally charming character houses, is this wonderful family home.
The manicured front garden gives you the early indication as to how well this home is presented throughout. The home, built in 1925, has all the character features that you would expect from a home of this period. From the timber floors, the high ceilings and ornate cornices, you will be captivated by its charm and warmth.
The main bedroom features floor to ceiling built in robes plus a recently updated ensuite bathroom. There are 2 other spacious double bedrooms at the front of the house, both feature built in robes, the front bedroom enjoys the northern light filtered by the trees that line street and in the front garden, this room would also make a great study or home office.
Making your way to the end of the hall way, you walk into the very spacious and versatile kitchen / living and dining space.
The kitchen is very well laid out with the large communal style, island bench, perfect for casual dining, and plenty of bench space plus a small Butlers Pantry with more than enough room to keep those appliances that generally clutter the bench tops in most other kitchens. The sleek modern appliances including induction cooktop and dual electric ovens, add to the style of this contemporary and very functional kitchen.
Those busy families may choose to keep the large blackboard that has been painted on the kitchen wall to keep track of everyone's activities throughout the week, a real whimsical, yet very practical feature of the kitchen.
Immediately adjacent to the kitchen is the dining area that has enough room for a 12 -14 seat dining table or could become a study area if the island bench in the kitchen area suited your dining needs.
The large family living area has polished concrete flooring and features the large and very effective wood burner that keeps the entire house warm. There is a built in study desk running along the wall that is currently being used to support a small home office.
From the living and kitchen areas, step through one of the two sets of French doors and you are on to the outdoor living space. This large, timber floored, undercover patio is a very versatile space is ideal for hosting large gatherings in all weather conditions. There is wiring in place for the installation of outdoor heaters and by adding outdoor blinds, this patio could easily become an outdoor room. To add to the use of the space out here, there is a TV mounted to the wall that will be included in the sale of the property. There is also separate toilet accessed directly from the patio.
Step off the patio and you can either jump into the sparkling in ground pool which is salt water chlorinated and solar heated, or head over to the fire pit area to check on the spit roast that you are cooking whilst enjoying a glass of your favourite wine with friends around the fire.
And there is more! A fully lined and carpeted shed that will suit many purposes. It could be your own gym or home office, a teenagers retreat / games room, or perhaps even convert it to a granny flat (subject to the necessary consents). There was a laundry located in this shed with all the plumbing still connected, so making this a bathroom could be reasonably straight forward. Plus, for extra storage, a fully lined attic, accessed by a pull down set of stairs located in the dining area. This air conditioned space measures approx 3.4m x 3.1m .
Set behind some stylish garden screens is a utilities area with a washing line plus space to cook the BBQ if you did not want to have this on the deck.
The back gardens and small lawned area are very low maintenance with established trees and hedging plants providing privacy from neighbouring properties.
This pretty bungalow has been a great family home spanning 2 generations and it is now ready to welcome the next family to make it their own.
