Offered to the market for the first time in over 60 years is this much loved and immaculately kept family home. Presenting an opportunity for those seeking space, security and serenity, this property is amidst a tightly held location in Charlton and on a generous 1302 square metre allotment that's just brimming with beautiful gardens and very established shade trees.
Proudly held in the same family for the past 62 years, this somewhat unique home is a testament to a time when the home that you built was your 'forever home' and the pride associated with the era is very evident here. The wide formal entry welcomes you into the home, setting the tone for the spacious and intriguing interior as you will see once you explore.
From the entry we move through to the front lounge/living room that opens through to the spacious kitchen and dining area, the heart of any home. This is a practical and versatile space, filled with natural light and perfect for everyday living along with those memorable family and social gatherings. The spacious kitchen features timeless solid timber cabinetry with electric cooking, dishwasher and fabulous breakfast bar.
Adjoining this area is a lovely sunroom/office or study room that features large windows that overlook the rear garden, and there's a separate door to the outside. This could be the perfect home office; the choice is all yours.
Moving through the home we find three very generously sized bedrooms, one with a full wall of ceiling to floor built-in robes, and another with a large walk-in robe (fabulous storage without a doubt). But the pièce de résistance with this home are the two totally separate living areas; the formal lounge/living room downstairs and the rather generous in size upstairs rumpus/billiard/lounge room, with its own balcony. This is a fabulous room which is accessed by a spiral staircase. We also find the third bedroom on this second level of the home. The big windows in this upstairs area overlook the gardens on the property and also provide for views over the north-west farmlands of the area. This is a unique and fabulous retreat space with a billiard table in situ. I hear echoes of “straight to the pool room!”.
The home is serviced by the centrally located bathroom with its deep bath and vanity, and an adjacent separate shower room that caters perfectly to family needs. And of course there's the separate toilet and large laundry room with extensive storage cupboards. The home has both heating and cooling with a split system heat and cooling in the downstairs living areas, and a reverse cycle air conditioner in the upstairs area. The practical layout of this home offers ample storge throughout, and with great potential to add your own personalisation to make this your own.
Outside, we find established gardens with some fabulous deciduous trees that offer an essential shade canopy for the summer. There are some lovely outdoor living spaces tucked discreetly in the gardens, along with loads of space for further development of veggie gardens or those chickens that you have always wanted. There is a double garage that has power and concrete floor, and further useful lockup shedding also. There is both town and tank water at the property, town sewer and mains electricity.
The property is situated on a very large allotment of 1302 square metres and is located in a peaceful and family-friendly neighbourhood with easy access to all the services that Charlton has to offer including schools, hospital, shopping, cinema and a very vibrant arts and sporting community.
