One of the prominent buildings in the main street of Mount Pleasant is this classic bluestone Villa framed by a white picket fence.
The original part of the home dates back to 1847 and some complementary extensions have been added in later years. So much of the old character still remains with exposed stonework in most rooms and the original timber matchboard ceilings throughout.
The front door opens into the current dining room which can be warmed by the open fireplace. The large master bedroom off to the left, features ceiling fan, built in robes and a split system air conditioner.
Year round comfort will be yours in the bright spacious lounge with reverse cycle air conditioning as well as a slow combustion heater and ceiling fan. The other 2 bedrooms are at either end of the lounge, one has built in robes whilst the other is accessed through a room that would be ideal as a study or teenager’s retreat.
The kitchen at the rear of the home is large enough for a table and has recently been renovated. Plenty of storage space, granite look bench tops, soft closing doors and slide out drawers in the pantry cupboard are some of the improvements but pride of place goes to the old wood stove in the corner.
The bathroom has also recently been renovated and floor to ceiling tiles will make cleaning a breeze.
The shop/office at the front of the home would be ideal for a home based activity. The verandah over the front door extends over the footpath to keep the weather at bay. The character of the building is evident here again with exposed stonework and timber paneling. Split system air conditioning, ceiling fan, spotlights & a floor safe are all in place to make it a comfortable place to spend the day. An evergreen hedge separates the gravel driveway from the peach, plum and apple trees and at the end of it sits the garage with parking for 3 cars and a bay you can use as a workshop.
The low maintenance garden consists of conifers, hydrangeas, geraniums and flowering natives. The 1130 sq metre block also has a vegetable garden, well, 22,500 litre rainwater tank, wood shed and much more.
An outstanding home with so much to offer, to arrange an inspection, please call Peter Girke on 0402 845 941.
