Located in a highly sought-after residential area, this delightful home is just moments from the CBD, schools, churches, and sporting fields, making it an ideal choice for families and professionals alike.
From the moment you step inside, you’ll be captivated by the original architectural details that give this home its distinct character. A wide central hallway welcomes you with pressed metal 12ft ceilings, timber fretwork, polished floorboards, and original windows with coloured glass accents that beautifully complement the contemporary lighting fixtures and window furnishings.
The home boasts multiple living and dining zones, catering to both relaxed family living and elegant entertaining. There are four spacious bedrooms, two of which open via French doors onto a sunny sleepout, perfect for a playroom, office, or additional living space. The formal lounge room retains its original fireplace and mantel, enhanced with the convenience of a built-in wood fire for cozy winter nights.
Both the master ensuite and the main bathroom are brand new and feature luxurious underfloor heating, evoking the style of "Home Beautiful." The ensuite impresses with an intricately carved timber vanity, dual shower heads, and a large walk-in robe offering superb storage. The main bathroom continues the home's vintage charm, complete with two pedestal basins, a claw foot tub, toilet, and a large shower, all in keeping with the home's original design.
The transition from the original home to the contemporary extension is seamless, opening into a stunning open-plan kitchen and living area with polished concrete floors. The kitchen is a chef’s delight, showcasing Caesar stone benchtops, an expansive island bench that seats up to 12, a Fisher and Paykel oven with a gas cooktop, a dishwasher, and ample storage. The adjoining space easily accommodates a large dining table and additional living and entertaining zones, which flow effortlessly through triple doors to the outdoor pergola area, ideal for alfresco dining.
Year-round comfort is guaranteed with a range of heating and cooling options, including a wood heater, two gas heaters, six ceiling fans, a split system air conditioner, and ducted evaporative air conditioning. At the rear of the property, the double garage offers remote access from the rear lane, providing secure parking and additional storage. A granny flat or studio is partially completed, with framework, plumbing and wiring already in place, allowing the new owners to customize the space to their own needs.
Set among established gardens with raised beds and citrus trees, 13 Battye Street is an impressive blend of heritage charm and modern luxury that will not disappoint.
