Beyond the pretty façade of this federation classic lies a warm and welcoming interior with modern inclusions and sought-after period details.
High ceilings, decorative cornicing, and hardwood timber flooring combine effortlessly with contemporary improvements such as renovated bathrooms and ducted air-conditioning.
As you cross the wide front verandah, a superb decorative timber frame provides an impressive entry to the home. Leadlight glass panels border the front door, which opens into a large entry hall.
Two sunny, north facing bedrooms are located at the front of the home; one of these boasts a bay window with a built-in window seat, and an original cast iron fireplace with a timber mantelpiece. A third bedroom—the master—includes a recently renovated ensuite. The main bathroom is light-filled and stylish, and a third bathroom amalgamates the laundry and provides external access to the rear deck.
Generously proportioned rooms are a feature of this home, and the living spaces are no exception. The main living room, with a slow combustion fireplace, is at the centre of the home; a spacious open plan kitchen, dining and family room span the rear. Possessing a 900mm range with gas cooktop, plenty of storage and striking green cabinetry, the kitchen is an inviting place for the cook/s in the family.
French doors lead from the family room onto a large, covered timber deck. Overlooking the expansive backyard, this is an appealing area for outdoor living and entertaining. Mature trees with their beautiful green canopy provide dappled light and shade where needed.
At 915.6 square metres, the block is a luxurious size, especially given its prime York Street location. In addition to a garage, there is a carport, allowing ample off-street parking. Chances are you’ll opt to leave the car at home much of the time, with shops, cafes and amenities all just a short walk away.
