What a spectacular display of workmanship and design that has gone into the re-creation of this simply stunning 1950's weatherboard home. Bursting with character from the outside, you'll discover a whole new world inside, where the current owners have cleverly combined the old with the new, and it's not just your quaint cottage either, there is plenty of space for a growing family. Let's start at the beginning; behind the picket fence open up your mind and appreciation for a home filled with class and a superb floorplan of 4 robed bedrooms, 2 traditionally displayed bathrooms with heritage fittings and fixtures, a formal lounge/diner complete with a flickering open fire place, and just as you thought that sums it up, there is a truly remarkable open plan timber kitchen/meals and family room with wall to wall cabinetry. Glistening Tassie Oak flooring and new carpets in the bedrooms provide a clean, yet practical combination, while the inclusion of ducted heating throughout and a reverse cycle AC in the family room provide all the comfort required for our Aussie seasons. Don't forget to take note of the exquisite double hung windows, picture rails, high ceilings, feature cornices and fretwork which really make this home a very interesting canvas. Now, for the outside....the back deck and BBQ area are accessible through French doors from the family room or the main boudoir and are perfectly shaded by the most delightful Oak tree and lush landscaped gardens. There's also a semi detached, fully insulated and heated rumpus room/home office or perhaps a kids retreat. Other highlights of this spectacular property include a fresh lick of paint inside and out, it's been re-stumped, plumbed and wired, restored terracotta roof/guttering, off street parking for 2 cars and a boat or caravan, as well as an impressive location with Eastlink close by and the local bus stop practically at the front door. Schools and shops are also within an easy reach. Don't let this one slip by....
