It is with absolute pleasure that Halliwell Property Agents bring this truly magnificent fully restored Federation home to market.
The restoration and attention to detail needs to be seen to be appreciated and congratulations must go to the current owners who have not only lovingly restored Carinya, but have done so having brilliant knowledge of period homes.
From the moment you step into the entry and onto the Tasmanian Oak floorboards you will know this home is very special… Carinya retains its historic character & period style whilst combining it with a touch of modern living.
A few stunning features to look out for…
• Tasmanian Oak floorboards throughout
• Ornate fireplaces and surrounds in most rooms
• Original timber 4 panel doors and skirting boards
• Glorious 11 foot ceilings
• Luck Brothers wood-heater/oven in dining room plus a further large
wood-heater in the lounge room
• Pressed metal ornate cornices & beautiful ceiling roses
• Bay window in the main bedroom
• Beautiful bathroom with a claw foot bath
• Internal timber shutters on the windows
As you would expect from a home built in this era, the three bedrooms are generous in size and all come with beautiful antique wardrobes. There is a separate large lounge room plus a dining room that the current owners use as a second living room. The lovely Baltic timber kitchen, whilst not large is very neat and tidy & has a great size pantry, and looks out over the pristine back yard.
Outdoors the style and presentation continues with a 4 car carport, a splendid veggie patch, stunning roses galore and cottage style gardens. There is a large workshop area, that has had council approval to have a second bathroom fitted, and the owner will leave the bathroom fixtures for the new owners to install. And as if this house isn't amazing enough there is an under cover swimming pool. The pool is heated with solar and in the summer months the temperature can reach 30 degrees plus.
The yard is beautifully fenced and very secure for young families & animals. Our Lady of Lourdes and Devonport Primary Schools are literally across the road and the Devonport CBD is 200 metres away. Inner city living at its best…
The Devonport CBD is undergoing a wonderful transformation of its own with the Living City Project now well under way. So a short stroll down the road will see you dining at Provedore Place, shopping at Hill Street Grocers, gathering at one of the many local cafes or finding your way to the glorious walking tracks of Victoria Parade, where you will see the ships dock into the Mersey River.
Please phone the listing agent Wendy Squibb to arrange your private viewing, I will be delighted to show you through…
