Positioned on a sprawling 1,085sqm lot with a half-sized tennis court this property offers a rare opportunity in a highly sought after, leafy suburb, so close to the CBD.
The moment you walk through the front gate you are welcomed by a colourful home oozing the charm and character of yesteryear. Enter the home via the front, enclosed veranda, the perfect place to watch the world go by or even an ideal work from home space and play area for the kids. Greeted by a wide and welcoming hallway, beautiful high ceilings, VJ walls & ceilings, wooden floorboards, breezeways & French doors; this property has an instant warmth and feels like home.
At the heart of the home sits the large living room with pot belly stove offering ample space for the oversized furniture. Through the French doors the current owners have their study and to the back is the dining room. The tidy kitchen overlooks the fabulous backyard offering great storage & ample preparation space. Leave the kitchen as is or renovate to create a kitchen to suit your needs, there is plenty of room to extend.
Through bifold doors the expansive deck offers the perfect place to entertain and also the ideal vantage point to watch to enjoy everything the lovely back yard has to offer as you overlook the half-sized tennis court and leafy backyard. Underneath the back deck the current owners have enjoyed playing table tennis every night, part of their daily routine. There is also a basketball hoop on the tennis court. One thing is for sure you will always sleep well after a day of adventure, all enjoyed without leaving home. The combination of indoor and outdoor living spaces makes this home perfect for family living, with room to grow as the family does.
With four good sized bedrooms on offer, there are also lots of extra spaces and a large sunroom where you could build in ensuites & walk-in robes if needed or utilise this space for office space or playrooms for the kids. The main bathroom is oversized with a separate shower, bath, and double vanity ready for someone to update and transform to their own design.
This home offers a rare opportunity to purchase a character home sprawling over a large, elevated block with room to park the caravan & work vehicles off the road.
