Conveniently situated in the southern part of Kilburn only a few streets from the Mapleton Grove redevelopment and Prospect, a quality restoration sympathetic to original style has been commenced and now awaits your completion.
One of the original homes in the area, this circa 1930 Bungalow oozes character. From ornate ceilings and picture rails to classic timber fretwork, architraves, windows and doors (many striped back to bare timber and restored to their former glory) with wide skirtings polished timber floors, those seeking authenticity will appreciate how many original features remain intact.
Showcasing the restored part of the home is the lounge, where alluring, pastel yellow walls compliment grandiose timber highlights and the glazed-bricks of the open fireplace. A recently installed reverse-cycle, split system air conditioner (one of two in the property) also features, which combined with the spacious proportions and airy feel of the room make for a living space as functional as it is aesthetic.
A new kitchen lies adjacent the lounge and comes complete with stainless steel appliances and gas cooking. There is an abundance of bench space and the colour scheme has been deliberately chosen to remain consistent with the flavour of the home. The hearth of the original wood stove also remains - a nice touch reminiscent of past generations.
Two other principal rooms are totally liveable however await your creative flair. Long-serving 'axminster' carpet and colours that have seen fresher days and purely cosmetic issues and the rewards of a loving makeover will be immense. The lean-to section of the home also deserves further attention, but provides a great opportunity to bring the home to a standard that will comfortably serve for decades to come.
Outside a huge backyard leaves plenty of scope for further extension (subject to council consent) with the land area totalling approximately 675 square metres. There is a gated carport opening to a detached brick garage and the home is set back comfortably from the street. Inspection is highly recommended.
