5 Lezayre Avenue, Bridgewater, SA 5155

This 1926 house is privately situated on a large hills garden. The home is built of hard-wood structure and weatherboard with unusually wide jarrah floorboards. The house and studio are approached by a flight of wide informal stone steps.

Upon entering the home original architectural features are immediately apparent. The walls of the lounge are lined with dark timber paneling while a Jotel combustion heater is sensitively placed in the glazed brick fireplace. Two large double bedrooms lead off the lounge; both have attached sun-rooms with lovely intimate views of the leafy gardens.

A casual dining room lined with matchboard has a row of cottage windows overlooking the surrounding trees. These windows continue into the adjacent renovated kitchen with the original “Metters” wood oven and red brick fire place, in addition to a conventional oven with stainless steel rangehood. Attached to the kitchen is a walk-in pantry and linen press of well preserved 1926 cabinetry.

The bathroom has been stunningly renovated. Lined with white painted Baltic pine matchboard with a jarrah floor, it exudes a warm ambience. The beautiful toilet and hand basin are a unique feature, as is the baby claw foot bath.

Leading from the original house is a large living room with attached balcony. The large windows with lovely leafy views have cedar blinds that attractively filter light. The new pure wool carpet is in a neutral shade. While always an inviting family room, it is a wonderful room for entertaining.

Returning to the front of the house is a double carport and studio, newly renovated & carpeted. This stunning room retains a cottage presence, with a modern atmosphere. It would be an ideal teenagers bedroom or home office.

This is a home of distinction, immaculately presented with an effective and efficient floor plan set in a peaceful and private setting.
