A grand sandstone villa with a strong Spanish influence built in 1935; ?Aventine? sits proudly on a corner allotment of 1363m2 (approx) within the heart of the township.
Archways line the front veranda and lead to an impressive entrance hall or reception area. Featuring high skirting and extensive detailed timber work.
A formal dining room enjoys a square bay window ? with cut glass windows, open fire place, timber flooring and high ceilings making this a lovely room for any dinner party. Then retreat to the formal lounge room. Again featuring an open fire place and bay window with cut glass, this room makes a cozy winter hideaway.
There are three double bedrooms in the home with the master located at the front. Beautiful, quality timber built in robes, cut glass windows in the bay window and timber floors complete this master room. Bedroom two is very spacious and features timber paneled ceilings while bedroom three also accommodates a home office and opens directly to the rear entertaining area, providing privacy for guests or a lovely out look when working.
A central kitchen has seen a recent upgrade yet still blends well with the original timber and stippled glass cupboards. Large enough to accommodate a growing family there is plenty of room to dine in. The gas cook top and oven have been recessed into the original chimney area. Additional overhead and under bench timber cupboards, sink and work area is a galley style and enjoys a large garden window. The kitchen steps down to a casual sitting area where French doors open to the rear private garden and pergola area. Slate flooring and timber ceilings are throughout this area.
Ducted reverse cycle air conditioning is throughout the home while a centrally located slow combustion heater takes the chill off in winter.
Many old world features are throughout the home and have not been lost over time including decorative cornicing, ceiling roses and chandeliers. Recent additions such as roller shutters to the side windows blend well with the charm of yesteryear.
Rain water is pumped throughout the home with plenty of storage, a new heat pump hot water service is compliant with today?s requirements.
A curve steel carport with paved flooring allows for undercover parking and is connected to the outdoor entertaining area allowing undercover entrance to the home. Surrounded by an old grapevine this is a lovely cool area in the summer. There is huge shedding space with two double car garages, including remote door access for two car parks, power and concrete flooring.
The allotment enjoys rear access to the well maintained yard. Fruit trees are dotted around while there are garden beds lining the boundaries, veggie patch, plenty of room for a chook run and a garden shed for additional storage. Lawn stretches around the home creating a low maintenance garden.
A picket and rendered fence is to the front and side of the home with privacy from the two neighbours provided with good fencing.
Ideally located in the heart of the township and situated on the very appealing West Terrace. It is only walking distance to the doctors, swimming pool, oval, schools, transport and the main shopping area including the new library currently under construction.
This grand home is ready for its next chapter.
