In need of sprucing up, the character & charm of this quaint circa 1958 solid brick home will shine through with a little care, a lot of paint & a bit of polish. With lovely high ceilings & cornices of the era, original sash windows & solid timber doors, the quality of yesteryear stands proud in this little solid beauty.
You'll discover quirky 1950's features scattered here & there, a little covered front porch with its wrought iron detail, etched glass doors, brick fire place surrounds, antique glass lightshades & original wooden floorboards waiting to resurface from beneath old carpets & lino.
A generous entrance hallway & two lovely large bedrooms plus a third in the sleep-out to the rear, mean this home is quite a bit larger than it first appears. The living space is well utilized in a separate lounge room featuring double glass doors which lead to the very nice sized separate dining, open plan to the old fashioned kitchen & linking the living spaces of the home. The eat-in style kitchen still has its original wood fire stove & a slow combustion heater has been installed into the fireplace surrounds of the lounge. The home is equipped with reverse cycle split system air conditioning.
The bathroom is older in style, yet tidy & fairly neutral with a separate bath & shower. A new vanity would brighten it up beautifully. The separate toilet is located to the rear.
Off the kitchen, step into the long rear lobby, an ideal area for conversion to an indoor/outdoor alfresco living space. Replace the old louvre windowed wall with nice sliding or foldout glass doors to give the space light & adaptability for use through the seasons, a light filled playroom in cooler months or an alfresco dining & entertaining space for the warmer weather. An almost new rainwater tank, an old single iron garage & wood shelter exist in the rear yard of this 760sqm block, framed by an old peppercorn tree, vines & hedges on the perimeter of the neighbouring properties.
Quite sweet from the street, this cream brick home is set well back, privately sheltered by the big old front yard trees & lovely dense hedge as its fence, a charming little residence awaiting its next chapter or to continue its tale of tenancy just as it is.
