Hemsley House sits proudly behind a picket fence befitting the character of its colonial heritage. Built in the late 1800's, you are sure to be impressed with the historic features within. Intricate, lacework decorates the front verandah and through the front door you find a pleasant entry hallway with soaring ceilings and ornate fretwork - separating two prominent bedrooms and the expansive living space that could easily accommodate two separate sitting rooms or formal lounge and dining. Bordered by the third bedroom and study, the living space boasts character features such as a brick fireplace, sash windows, timber flooring and VJ paneling.
The well-appointed kitchen includes an island bench, granite counter tops and induction cook top. A wood burning stove housed in the brick chimney sets the tone for an intimate breakfast nook. Opening out onto the sweeping rear deck, the entertainer's kitchen offers seamless alfresco flow. Evening soirees will comfortably accommodate your guests for a family barbeque or canapes and drinks with friends.
Bathed in natural light, the spacious master bedroom is located at the front of the home and is rich in character with views of the front garden and streetscape beyond. The main bathroom is two way and services the master bedroom as an ensuite. Demonstrating period features and the luxury of space you will find a claw foot bath, twin basins, separate shower and toilet.
Two additional queen sized bedrooms are accessible from the entry hallway and are serviced by a second bathroom with shower and separate powder room.
Soak up the north-east facing aspect through the bay window of your study or offer up the pleasure to guests by furnishing the front room as a fourth bedroom. The floorplan is adaptable to suit the needs of the buyer.
