Built in 1918 and with many of the glorious original features intact, this magnificent 'Californian Bungalow' is spectacular in every sense of the word.
The grand entrance faces onto the Mersey River and welcoming you inside are magnificent timber panelled walls, ornate and high ceilings and stunning Tasmanian Floorboards under foot.
Beautifully positioned the main living area also faces Easterly with an open plan kitchen, dining and loungeroom. Morning sunshine floods in through the large windows to welcome you to the day and coupled with an inbuilt wood heater this area is warm and cosy even on the coldest days.
The kitchen, beautifully updated has plenty of bench space, a large pantry, appliance nook, quality appliances and all in keeping with the style of the home. Access to the front deck is from the dining room and with views out over the garden and River this is a spectacular and sunny spot.
There are three spacious bedrooms, the main with a large new robe, quality carpet underfoot and quick access to the main bathroom and the second bathroom.
The main bathroom updated in recent years is spacious with a spa bath, separate shower, wall hung vanity and toilet. Clever use of space sees a second bathroom, again very neat and tidy with close access to the bedrooms. The front bedroom has French doors that open onto the Juliet balcony which looks over the front yard and the salt water inground swimming pool.
Some other gorgeous features of the home include a large second living room with open fireplace, a utilities room that could easily be converted to a 4th bedroom and a sunroom area that you enter through a breezeway that has a laundry and the third toilet.
The home is in magnificent condition having been beautifully maintained and updated by the long-term owners. Some updates that have been done over the years include:
• Fully re-roofed including the outdoor sunroom
• New undercover balcony on the southern side of the home
• Two new front decks facing West
• Plush carpet in the main loungeroom
• Perfectly painted exterior of this large home
The gardens whilst not in full bloom are a testament to the owner's pride and joy and will give you years of enjoyment. Old world cottage gardens with an abundance of camelias, rhododendrons, weeping trees, roses and so much more. There is a magnificent veggie patch complete with a grape vine, kiwi fruit, a berry patch… the list goes on and on.
Other great features are the property is beautifully fenced and gated and there is a second access point to the bottom of the garden from the laneway below. Vehicle storage is well taken care of with a single car garage with remote access and a large double carport. For the handyman there is a terrific workshop attached to the garage plus two water tanks for the gardens. And all this on a massive double block of 1836m2, with 2 Titles. Being a corner block perhaps there is an opportunity for development with the front access. (STCA).
There is so much to this magnificent home it is difficult to put into words, it truly is a beautiful walk back in time… and we would be delighted to show you through either by our upcoming open homes or by private inspection. Please phone the listing agent Wendy Squibb for further details.
