Lovingly rebuilt and restored in 2000, this federation home was originally built in 1870 making it one of Devonport's first homes.

This truly special home takes you back to yesteryear with all of today's conveniences.
Upon entering through the timber front door with leadlight surround the entry hallway makes a stunning first impression. Featuring 3-meter original Baltic pine ceilings, timber doors with original hardware, picture rails, decorative cornices and ceiling rose's reflective of the era, these features continue throughout the home. There are three double bedrooms with one currently used as a study, each feature ornamental fireplaces and the master has a built-in wardrobe and access to the main bathroom.
A claw foot bath, separate shower, toilet and timber vanity continue the character and charm you come to expect of this home.
With new Granite Transformations benchtops and tiles installed in the central kitchen just last year, it is perfectly positioned to the open plan living and dining and with easy access for outdoor entertaining. Generous storage is found in the timber cabinetry and the convenience of an appliance nook with slide down door is perfect to conceal those everyday items.
The open plan living and dining area flows nicely from the kitchen creating a great space for easy interaction with French doors to the rear courtyard and entertaining area. A Daiken heat pump in this living space ensures comfort with a second smaller heat pump in one of the front bedrooms providing additional warmth in the cooler months.
An open fireplace in the separate lounge/formal dining room adds to the character of the home while adding extra warmth and comfort in the cooler months. French doors lead to a small breakfast deck, yet another spot to enjoy a drink or your favourite book.
At the rear of the house is a laundry with storage and a separate powder room inside the backdoor for added convenience.
Entertaining friends and family will be a delight in the large and private courtyard undercover entertaining area which features café style blinds for year-round use, a fantastic addition to the home.
Just when you think it couldn't get much better there is a separate guest room/studio with ensuite and undercover access to the main home making it the perfect space for guests. A single garage with remote access and workshop add to the many features of this property.
Grow your own vegies in the vegie patch which is found in a small yard off the courtyard, watering is an ease with the rainwater tank and the established gardens surrounding the home are a credit to the current owners.
Securely fenced and private this home is unique and will certainly delight the most discerning buyer.
Located close to walking tracks, schools, on the bus route and with easy access to shops and services, all you need is within reach.
