Situated on a commanding corner allotment is an incredibly charming and captivating Return Verandah villa situated in the very heartbeat of Croydon. Directly opposite one of Croydon's favourite parks, Queen Street and cafe latte territory is just around the corner, plus a mere eight minute train trip to the city - it simply does not get much better than this.
Surrounded by glorious gardens this much loved home blends the charm of yesteryear perfectly with the modern conveniences of today. Classic character features include polished floorboards, ornate ceiling roses, exquisite leadlight, soaring ceilings, picture rails and tessellated front verandah are reflective of the era in which it was built.
Choose from four generous size bedrooms, the master is incredibly large and together with the other front bedroom have a wonderful outlook to the garden. A divine central archway, wide hallway, plus a breathtaking formal lounge with roaring open fireplace is a perfect winter retreat.
At the rear of the home the updated and well-equipped spacious eat-in kitchen with stainless steel Euro oven, range hood and Asko dishwasher leads into the light-filled dining/family room. From here access the outdoors via French doors which lead out onto a very private and extensive paved/verandah area. A great haven in the summer months as you enjoy a vino or two under the vines.
For wine connoisseurs or sauce and jam makers the dry cellar is an absolute delight, a separate utility room, updated striking black and white bathroom and a separate laundry complete the internal offerings.
Step outdoors to a gorgeous garden oasis with an eclectic mix of roses, geraniums, nasturtiums, fruit trees, vegetables, herbs and native plants all blend perfectly and work well together, reminiscent of an Edna Walling garden to be explored and enjoyed all year round.
Additional features which make this home special include:
Two split system air-conditioning units
Ceiling Fans
Double garage
Doggy proof rear screen door
Two car carport, remote controlled
Rainwater tank
Alarm system
Security front screen doors
Three Derby Heat banks
An extremely rare offering - Charming character filled homes of this era, size and location are highly sought after but seldom ever found. Do not wait another 20 years before this opportunity presents itself again.
