Those who have an understanding of the Village of Blackheath know that 'Bell Street' perched up high on the eastern side of town is one of the best locations available.
Known for being whisper quiet and with quality homes all around Bell Street is also a walk to town proposition which is a very desirable attribute for those seeking the mountains village life.
This home at 14 Bell Street is also unique, not you average mountains cottage at all but a rare as hens teeth double brick home of incredibly solid construction with a very strong Mid-Century aesthetic.
It is discrete too, you could easily walk right past this lovely home and not even notice it as it has been deliberately set back on the block with a lush established front garden that ensures absolute privacy.
Upon entry to the front yard the whole facade registers as a garage roller door and a front entry door under a verandah and a small and very modest window.
Step inside, and everything changes, first, a generous entry hall with direct access to the spacious single car garage , how good is this?
Drive in on a chilly day and no need to get wet at all, or for those who want more room , remove the roller door and install a wall of glazing and you have another living area, or maybe another bedroom with an ensuite or maybe just a lock and leave work space.
To the left of the entry hall is the main bedroom , generously proportioned with built in robes and a wall of north facing windows and just across the hall is a three way bathroom with a seperate loo, a bath and a shower, this room is flooded with light from a wall of glass bricks.
Moving further into the home a second bedroom runs off to the right, currently a study and again, it has built in robes and being on the South side you would think it would be dark and cold but no, the row of high Clerestory windows bring that warming northern light into this room too!
Next is the lounge/kitchen/dining area that definitely has the 'Wow' factor, soaring ceilings, textured brick walls and an open plan kitchen make this area an entertainers dream, add to this a butlers pantry / laundry and again, a wall of north facing windows and high Clerestory windows flood this space with winter sun.
Imagine the joy of having these north facing glass doors open on a sunny and still winters day, the sun streaming in, birds chirping and slipping into a sun soaked doze on the couch.
This sun will also be doing its job in heating the paved floor which will act as a heat sink, radiating warmth back into the room long after the sun has set.
Running off the back of this living area are two more bedrooms, both approximately 12m2 so a good size too, not that they need to be bedrooms as one is already a library/reading/yoga room.
So come have a look, this home has a lot to offer with a solar passive design, plenty of space plus a flexible floor plan.
