By the time you reach the shady front veranda, you are already in love! Renovations have been sympathetic to the era, ensuring none of the period features and rustic theme have been compromised. At the same time, some modern cosmetic improvements have cleverly blended these elements together to showcase more contemporary trends and styling ideas. The homes floor plan flows nicely and is light bright and deceptively spacious. The ground floor comprises the open plan main living hub, including generous living space, kitchen and dining area with a cosy wood fire heater as the focal point. Ducted evaporative cooling, two split system units and ceiling fans help control the temperature throughout. The country style kitchen is a pleasure for the household chef, and boasts quality timber cabinetry and bench tops, 900mm oven, gas hotplates and dishwasher. Also downstairs is the master bedroom (featuring loads of built in robes), the recently refurbished two way bathroom that includes claw foot bath and separate shower, and the laundry/toilet area. Upstairs there are two additional bedrooms complete with robes. Outside is a sizeable 1052m2 allotment, which has been landscaped and fully established to provide a lovely green and leafy contrast to the house. The fully fenced yard has a double length carport at the front, which provides vehicle access through to the large tradesman’s shed boasting concrete floor, power and hot water. A secondary garden shed provides extra storage. Outdoor entertaining and relaxing outdoors comes courtesy of the lovely covered alfresco and courtyard at the rear, in addition to the shady veranda at the front. Beautifully presented and ready to move in and enjoy immediately with nothing to spend, this property provides a unique alternative to todays modern builds. Escape the hustle and bustle of the inner city and move to the best of what the country has to offer today!
