This gracious family home has been in the same family for over 25 years, once owned by a renowned sculptor. It was built in the 1890's and is believed to originally have been a dairy farm before Chatswood became the retail and commercial hub of today.
Currently sited on about 832sq.m, amongst lush landscaped cottage gardens with blossoming native flowers, bright green lawns that you can sink your toes into, and a rope swing hanging from the purple flowered Jacaranda, a real delight that the kids will adore. It also has direct access to the neighbouring park and the garden is ideal for outdoor entertaining on a grand scale.
The home flows from the tall front Murraya hedge, through wrought iron gates, down a few semi circular steps onto the tessellated tiled front veranda. There is a formal drawing room but the rest of the ground floor has been opened up to accommodate a modern family's lifestyle. There is a large country style kitchen and a combined family living and dining area which opens onto the generous sun drenched paved courtyard via large cedar bi-fold doors. The family room has a wood-burning stove which heats the entire house.
This is one of the very few homes in Chatswood originally built as 2 storeys. Upstairs comprises 4 typical era bedrooms plus sunroom used as a guest or 5th bedroom, both master and 2nd bedroom have fireplaces, 4 bedrooms have built in robes. To complement the country feel, the recently renovated bathroom maintains the country feel with use of polished Oregon vanity having a double hand basin.
Plans were approved sometime ago to build an artist studio/garage at the rear, still leaving plenty of room for a pool if so desired and loads of lawns to play, entertain or just enjoy.
Location - Edgar Street is centrally located, having direct and short walking distance to Chatswood High School and Chatswood Public School and the fantastic shopping and transport links that Chatswood offers. A few minutes down the road, you are on the M2 or the Gore Hill Freeway to the city.
A truly wonderful location and a pleasure to inspect.
