Two driveways allow ample off-street parking for 4-5 cars as well as side access to the home's rear living area. This freestone villa is very appealing from the street with a low maintenance cottage garden out front and gated picket fence. Its veranda provides shade to the front rooms of the property from the morning sun and further enhances its street appeal.
Entry via the main door, takes you into a wide, welcoming hallway that leads you through to the versatile floor plan. The front three bedrooms all feature stunning, highly polished Baltic Pine floorboards, ceiling fans, ducted evaporative air-conditioning and two with built-in robes. A library/study is the first of the living areas; lined with bookcases and featuring an original ornate ceiling, Axminster carpet and a gas space heater set in a restored fireplace. A perfect place to settle down with a cup of tea and a good read.
From here you enter the family meals area which is the hub of the home. With a wall mounted gas heater and a reverse cycle split system a/c it provides access to the kitchen, bathroom, laundry and walk-in pantry as well as sliding doors (roller-shuttered) into the backyard. The kitchen is well appointed with plenty of workspace and storage. A Bosch dishwasher, double sink and reverse osmosis water filter are all featured as well as an upright gas stove and space for 2 fridges. The bathroom and laundry are both very serviceable with the laundry featuring a large built in cupboard - great for storing the vacuum cleaner and other utilities.
You then enter what was once a self-contained granny flat (easily restored) that has now been opened through to form an extension of the main home. The lounge room is light and spacious with room for a meals area, making it a great space to unwind and watch TV. It features a reverse cycle split system on the wall, ceiling fan and even a wall mounted, built in ironing board. This is guaranteed to be the place you spend most of your time.
