Sheltered by a rich display of established greenery and mature trees, this property is rewarded with further peace and privacy from its elevated position amongst the foliage of Nelson Parade in the sought-after area of old Tuross. Aptly named 'Tirra Lirra' the property certainly embraces birdlife activity as well as other local fauna.
The exterior captures the essence of the home's original design with almost Queenslander-style characteristics including a well-maintained wrap-around verandah, whilst the interior brings subtle character features to the table, with high ceilings and original timber flooring.
Thoroughly neutral indoors, the footprint responds well to the flow of family life, overall offering three bedrooms, two bathrooms and flexible floorplan to the main house. Whilst at the rear of the property there is ample space for recreation, retreat or creativity with an independent studio, complete with kitchenette, bathroom, open plan living quarters and generous covered decking overlooking the grounds. The rough-sawn timber exterior continues inside and blends with other materials throughout, adding to its rustic charm and ambiance. The studio has its own instant gas hot water service and 4kl garden water tank with pressurised pump. Just like the main house, the studio also has reverse-cycle air conditioning and a wood heater creating a cozy mood during the cooler days.
Of the bedrooms, the main bedroom captures the essence of the outdoors with a majestic tree as a stunning backdrop through the fixed picture window whilst also providing privacy. Across the hall, the family bathroom continues with the neutral hues and timber accents. The bathroom has quality fixtures and fitting and the deep claw-foot bath adds a touch of luxury to the space. The second bedroom overlooks the cottage garden to the rear of the property, with French doors connecting you to the back patio " a quiet space to enjoy. Downstairs, the third bedroom also provides access to the outdoor spaces and an ensuite-style bathroom is located under the stairwell.
All the upper-level living spaces interconnect effortlessly with several access points to the wrap-around verandah " a great place to relax amongst the trees.

Through the back door is a covered patio surrounded by a variety of colourful plants and elevated gardens providing a picturesque visual display while ensuring complete privacy.
