Welcome to 3 Carrington Street, Grafton, a beautifully presented character home that blends timeless charm with modern comfort, offering a move-in ready opportunity in one of Grafton's most sought-after pockets.
Nestled in leafy Dovedale on a quiet avenue lined with crepe myrtles, this bright and breezy residence is framed by a classic white picket fence and sits a stone's throw from the mighty Clarence River.
Built in 1940 for the local Grafton glazier, this Art Deco bungalow showcases 3 metre ceilings, hardwood floors, original casement windows and French doors. The home is decorated with ornate plaster cornices and a ceiling rose, patterned glass and picture rails throughout.
Thoughtfully renovated and lovingly restored to emphasise its history, the home now features reinstated solid timber internal doors, a functional fireplace and carefully selected era-appropriate hardware and finishes. The restoration of 3 Carrington St was recently featured in Frankie magazine.
Inside, you'll find three generous bedrooms, each with high ceilings and polished timber floors. The oversized main bedroom includes an adjoining space ideal as a walk-in robe, nursery or home office, with scope to create an ensuite.
The light-filled living area is equipped with air conditioning and flows into the kitchen and dedicated dining area, which are complete with durable floating flooring for easy, everyday living. The charming, well-kept 1950s style kitchen features curved cabinetry and a warm, nostalgic feel rarely found in modern homes. Off the dining area, an additional room with views of the garden offers flexibility as a study, reading nook or potential upstairs laundry.
Downstairs provides excellent storage, including newly installed off-ground shelving, along with the laundry. Please refer to the floorplan for an understanding of the layout.
The front and backyards feature established native gardens, creating a private entertaining area and attracting abundant birdlife including fairywrens, finches and Willie wagtails.
Additional features include new Invisi-Gard security doors and a Sentricon termite prevention system for added peace of mind.
Positioned on a 579m² (approx.) block, the property offers a manageable outdoor space with room to personalise.
