Sitting pretty on a prominent corner, moments from popular shops and cafes, this lovely three-bedroom home in a coveted locale presents terrific credentials for desirable family living. Featuring high ceilings, rosettes, decorative cornices, downlights, curtains, drapes, lace blinds and hydronic heating, the home exhibits graceful touches matched with practical and inviting spaces, and has remained in the one family for forty years. At the front of the residence you will find a formal lounge and dining room, adjoining a charming side courtyard, and other living spaces include a well-equipped kitchen/meals and vast family entertainment room. Tasmanian Blackwood cabinets lend rich timber hues to the kitchen, which is filled with quality appliances including a stainless steel Electrolux double electric oven, five-burner gas cooktop with wok burner, concealed rangehood and dishwasher. Ample counters, tiled splashbacks, an appliance cupboard and clever microwave storage combine to make cooking a pleasure. The family entertainment room has abundant space for a billiard table, a large hand-carved display cabinet featuring antique timber, and a sitting area, and both the billiard table and cabinet are available with the home as negotiable extras. Attractive gardens provide plenty of outdoor space, and the secluded rear garden offers a lawn, mains gas connection for your barbecue, an open area well suited to casual alfresco meals, and provision for extra off-street parking in a garage and carport that can easily be made accessible from Head Street. Upstairs, two bedrooms host built-in robes, one also has an inbuilt dresser, and the master provides a walk-through robe and ensuite. There's a shining second bathroom, offering a bath, separate shower and vanity, plus a separate toilet. A study nook, laundry with ironing station, powder room and external storage room or cellar are further pleasing inclusions. A carport at the front offers easy vehicle access, and a raft of amenities within walking distance includes the popular local shopping strip, Napier Park, quality schools, and transport. The healthy allotment is approximately 646 square metres in total, sought-after Strathmore College zoning is yet another asset, and we now invite you to discover for yourself the many advantages that make this home so alluring.
