..built in 1925 and retaining all the character features that the makers originally endowed on this delightful bungalow.
From the polished pine floors through to the wooden fretwork at the entrance hall, the fancy plasterwork on the ceilings and the picture rails- this home needs a fresh lick of paint to be the envy of all who enter.
The home is quietly set behind a high brush fence with a long paved drive down to the garage/ workshop.
The deep verandah is already a precursor to the generous rooms beyond and the lovely wide entry divides the two front bedrooms. Both have fireplaces, leadlight windows and timber built-in robes. Down the hall is the third bedroom and main bathroom. This has been re-jigged over the years to incorporate a spa bath with shower overhead and a toilet. A handy second toilet with washbasin towards the rear is near the slate tiled laundry with even more built-in storage. There is also a study or fourth bedroom- a very flexible floor plan indeed.
The home was extended a little over a decade ago to include a spacious open-plan kitchen/ family room with slate floors, heritage fittings and quality timber joinery.
This is where the new age certainly outdoes the old with ample storage and bench space, stainless steel under bench gas oven and cooktop and of course the dishwasher. Everyone will want an invite so why not make life easier!
Most of the rooms have ceiling fans as the solid brick walls and high ceilings are just the ticket for cool summer living. A solid fuel combustion heater and a gas wall furnace will take away the chills as winter approaches.
The garden is nondescript so it really is a blank canvas on which to weave a little magic. There is a large timber pergola with shade cloth over a paved area.
If you know and love the beach you will know Seacliff as it is a great family destination with lifesaving and yachting, plenty of golden sand, gentle waves, boutiques and bakeries and an envious lifestyle. A few streets back from the beach, your hair will still be wet when you stroll in the front door and the ice cream melts through your fingers.
Worth a look this will be sold and they don't come up very often.
