Positioned in highly sought-after Don Street, just minutes from the center of town, this beautifully presented three-bedroom home combines timeless character with thoughtful modern updates, all set against a spectacular backdrop with views towards the Cathedral.
From the moment you arrive, the home makes an impression. A classic grey picket fence frames the established front garden, with newly planted magnolias set to add further privacy as they mature. A feature peppercorn tree, landscaped terraced lawn and distinctive light pillar enhance the home's inviting street appeal.
The front veranda, framed by elegant columns and reached via a charming stone step, provides the perfect spot to enjoy a morning coffee and watch the sunrise.
Inside, the home's original character is immediately apparent. An extra-wide entry welcomes you with original timber flooring, decorative cornicing and detailed archways, creating a wonderful sense of space and period charm.
Two bedrooms are positioned at the front of the home, each featuring carpet, built-in robes, a desk, split-system heating and cooling, panel heating and beautiful triple sash windows. The third bedroom features timber floorboards, split-system heating and cooling and panel heating.
A formal lounge provides a comfortable living area, complete with carpet, panel heating and high ceilings, before the home opens into an open-plan kitchen and dining area at the rear.
The spacious kitchen is the heart of the home, featuring a generous island bench, timber benchtops, induction cooktop, electric oven, stainless-steel rangehood and Westinghouse dishwasher. The adjoining dining area showcases an original fireplace with exposed brick, thoughtfully retained as a feature, along with rendered walls, terracotta tiled flooring and large timber sash windows.
Glass doors open onto the rear deck, creating an easy connection between the indoor and outdoor living spaces.
The newly renovated bathroom features floor-to-ceiling tiling, a shower over bath, floating vanity and contemporary matte-black tapware and fixtures. A separate laundry provides excellent functionality, with a second toilet, floating bench with sink, ample cabinetry and space for a washing machine. A beautiful stained-glass window adds an extra touch of character.
Outside, the backyard is an absolute highlight.
A combination of old red bricks, stone paving and beautifully landscaped terraces creates dynamic structure and offers multiple areas for entertaining and relaxing. A river-stone retaining wall blends seamlessly with timber retaining walls, while wide timber steps lead to an upper lawn area, with feature lighting illuminating each step.
The secure, fully fenced backyard is framed by established ornamental plantings and offers plenty of space for children, pets, gardening and entertaining.
Vehicle access extends through to the rear of the property, where you'll find a charming barn-style garage/shed, along with a separate Colorbond garden shed featuring a timber door. Landscaped raised vegetable beds, constructed from red gum sleepers, complete the productive garden area.
With its beautiful period features, modern updates, generous living spaces, exceptional gardens and highly sought-after location, this is a home that offers both character and lifestyle in equal measure.
A rare opportunity in Don Street homes of this calibre and charm are not to be missed.
