45 Warren Road, Marrickville

This spacious 5 to 6 bedroom home has been in this family for the past 45 years and has seen several generations. Now it is time for a new family to acquire and make this much loved home their own. From the very outset, the grand style of this home is evident. With iron palisade fencing that has sandstone footings, large decorative timber barge boards, original chimney and an enclosed front porch indicate the Victorian Gothic style. Inside the double fronted, full brick residence you will find a wide hallway, double sized bedrooms, high ceilings and many original features such as marble fireplaces, decorative cornices, pressed metal patterned ceilings, high skirtings, picture rails, and fan light doors. In need of some tender loving care with some paint and plaster work not going astray, the sheer space means there is so much opportunity to adapt to your perfect floorplan. With a more original kitchen with walk in pantry, a bathroom that is very large for a home of this age, plus formal lounge, large separate dining and two bedrooms with additional space from bay windows as well as a sixth bedroom or study. The yard offers several defined spaces including a raised paved area, comfortable lawn and several garden beds as well as rear lane access to two lock up garages. In a sought after, high position with city views from the rear, this is a rare offering. Land size 442.6sqm approx SOLD $950,000 DEC 2010
