So many people have driven down tree lined Sherbourne Road and wished that they could live in this street and now is your opportunity.
Why would you want to live anywhere else when Wittunga Gardens is across the way and stretches the length of the street and you can walk into Blackwood?
The house is set well back from the road and as you walk down the driveway the fragrance of the bulbs, flowering trees, bushes and plants pervades the air and you feel as though you are in your own private park. There is an enclosed double length carport with a double length garage/shed beyond and a second carport at the front of the property for a caravan or boat.
It is a substantial home built in the 1950's and lovingly cared for over the years. The entry hall opens to a particularly spacious lounge with a gas log fire and a wall of windows overlooking the front garden and Wittunga Gardens.
Features of the home are the quality fixtures and fittings, tasteful decor, high ceilings and ducted cooling throughout, security system and storage space.
Adjacent to the lounge is the formal dine.
The kitchen has been nicely upgraded with Tasmanian Oak cupboards, ample cupboard and bench space, double bowl sink and breakfast bar. The bathroom has also been upgraded and provides a full size bath, separate shower alcove and modern vanity.
The main bedroom is very roomy, has a lovely garden outlook and quality floor to ceiling robes. Bedroom two houses a double bed and also has floor to ceiling robes. There is a study or home office with French doors opening to the lounge, which has its own outside access.
The laundry has been updated and offers good storage and bench space. The rear patio with a vine covered pergola is a tranquil spot with its central fishpond, (complete with over 50 goldfish) and lush plantings surrounding the paved areas. This is a handy place for outdoor entertaining. The shed is a solid rendered structure which is lined, has light and power and makes a great rumpus/games room.
The backyard is BIG! Plenty of room for children's play, swimming pool or extending the house if desired. There are several planned garden areas with established plants, trees and bulbs and surprises at every turn. Amongst these you will find apple, lemon and orange trees.
The workshop is a handyman's haven - concrete floor, light and power and even a pot belly heater! There are two smaller sheds and three rain water tanks on the property.
The allotment is approximately 1500m2 with a frontage sufficient for further development, subject to Council consent. It is also a magnificent allotment for those seeking more space to accommodate their dream home.
