Renovated & extended character gem in fantastic city-fringe locale
This gorgeous return veranda villa on 848m² comes with plenty of period charm and some great fringe benefits, and we're not just talking a super-handy location minutes from the CBD.
Beautiful established gardens, a stunning entertaining pergola and a large workshop with 3-phase power add exciting layers of enjoyment and potential to a home already brimming with more than its fair share of attractions.
Staying true to character has been a labour of love, with every piece of original joinery stripped by hand and each of the reclaimed bricks in the double-brick additions, selected to match the existing before being individually cleaned and re-laid. And it's the same story with the tessellated veranda. The roof and decorative ceilings were also replaced as part of the comprehensive upgrades completed in 1997.
It's this meticulous attention to detail that not only makes this home feel so right but offers the assurance of minimal maintenance for years to come; leaving more time for the things you love.
With ample space for a family, the extended villa floor plan invites you to spread out, relax and entertain with up to 4 double bedrooms, or 3 plus formal dine, a blindingly bright and beautiful contemporary bathroom, palatial formal lounge with veranda access and open-plan family spaces featuring solid Blackbutt floors and a modern farmhouse kitchen. Instead of an island bench, there's room for a big communal table in this welcoming workspace that turns on the charm with gorgeous granite bench tops, a walk-in pantry and stainless steel appliances including a 900mm gas cook top. Coats and school bags will all find a home in the nearby laundry next to a second toilet.
Throw open french doors to enjoy summer loving under the pergola - the perfect place for those long hot months ahead, cooled by lush lawns and shade-giving trees that are a magnet for birdlife.
Add a fantastic location, minutes by bus to the CBD and within easy reach of shops, schools and cafes including Love On just around the corner, and you won't find better than this!
