Evoking the rustic charm of a country chalet-style retreat, this unique 1980s build is known for its distinctive gabled roof construction. Magnificent cathedral-style ceilings, timber trussing, exposed red clay masonry, and subtle odes to retro style are desirable aesthetics with boundless potential. Slate charcoal tiles, tongue & groove timber paneling, and seamless interaction with the outdoors meld with effortless family living in a whisper-quiet location.
An inviting entry nook clad in warm timber paneling reveals glimpses of more raw woodwork and moody, gothic-like interiors beyond. Exposed recycled brick interiors against solid black slate are a continuous theme throughout the ground floor.
Surrounded by double-aspect casement-style French doors, the open plan living and dining are offset by spectacular vaulted ceilings, a grand wood fireplace, and a retro-style timber staircase (leading to a mezzanine floor above) which beckon relaxed, holiday-home vibes akin to living on a semi-rural lot in the scenic Southwest.
This central hub is bolstered by tranquil courtyards and gardens on either side, lush with a landscape of agapanthus and green turf, allowing breezes to flow freely, cooling the room in the summer, and offering a connection to nature in cozy comfort around the seasons.
Nearby, a classic country-style kitchen, clad in timber paneled ceilings, loads of cabinetry, and views to a walled garden of verdant geraniums, is surrounded by casement-style windows and matching doors which provide reams of natural light and access to more courtyard and garden enclosures.
Extending from the kitchen, the laundry leads to an outdoor drying court, providing a spacious option for extra storage and separate rear garden access.
Completing this floor, a discreet bedroom or study option with independent rear courtyard access includes a huge walk-in robe and proximity to a large bathroom/powder room.
Central to the floorplan, a classic timber, Mid-century-inspired spiral staircase leads to a mezzanine floor above and an open landing extending to the remaining two bedrooms.
Fitted with built-in timber shelving and intended as a lounge, library, or playroom, the mezzanine enjoys views over the living room below and treetops beyond.
The remaining two bedrooms, joined by a vast bathroom, brightly lit from a huge skylight, include charming rattan-insert built-in robes, ceiling fans, and large set windows framing garden views.
Other features include split-system air-conditioning units in all bedrooms and the living room, block-out blinds, reticulated gardens, and loads of on-site parking from the front entrance and via Sibald Lane, which bolsters the allotment.
Located on a short, low-traffic street, this delightful, family home is mere steps from Iona Presentation College, along with the river foreshore, community parks, and loads of cafes and specialty shops just minutes away.
Sibald Lane on the northern aspect provides beneficial dual corner access for parking and an additional entranceway to the property.
