12 Hovell Street, Griffith

With a Cheminees Philipe fireplace, original timber floors, sash windows and cosy nooks, this Griffith home is bursting with charm and character. Every room reveals a picturesque highlight, from the bespoke Tasmanian blackwood cabinetry of the kitchen to the double wine cellar with internal and external access. Incredible light floods in through glazed bay windows at the front entrance hall and overlook an inground pool with dual swim jets, and French doors at the rear open up a beautiful world to discover a hidden garden that's straight from an English country cottage, complete with climbing tree and extensive chicken run. There's also an extensive studio at the rear or home workspace, with exposed rafters, library shelves and a north-facing gable window. If you'd prefer an office inside, you'll find a dedicated study off the family room with delightful north-facing garden views. Four appealing bedrooms include the segregated primary master which not only features a walk-in wardrobe, but a memorable ensuite complete with skylight and Japanese bath. Sequestered away in a quiet pocket close to Bannister Gardens, Circle Park, the Griffith shops and within minutes of highly regarded schools, this home feels like a rural haven transplanted in a prime inner-south locale.
