Like many homes of its era, add-ons have given this residence a quaint appearance. Despite being on a flat block, there are multiple levels.
Classically, the two main bedrooms sit on either side of the front entrance. Your first step down takes you to the lounge, where a gas heater nestles in front of the original (blocked-off) fireplace. A split-system adds a modern touch of comfort, making this a cosy space to relax and enjoy the garden view. The third north-facing bedroom adjoins this area.
Your next step down brings you to an open space, which flows into a comfortable eat-in kitchen. The large window in the dining zone brings the verdant view inside. Relaxing here with a cuppa in hand will be the perfect way to ease into your day.
You access the lowest level through two separate doors. The first opens to the compact bathroom. The second leads out onto a fully enclosed verandah. This space includes two additional rooms-a large laundry with cupboards, and a separate toilet. There's even a built-in workbench ready to support your renovation efforts. The concrete floor will make it easy to sweep up wood chips.
