This beautifully presented three-bedroom home offers far more than you would ever expect to find on a 684sqm block so close to the centre of town. Thoughtfully designed and set up for easy living, it is a property you need to spend some real time in to properly appreciate the care that has gone into it.
The original home was built in 1910, with much of its original character still in place, showcasing the beauty of a time gone by. A long list of modern additions makes the home easy to live in, with all the creature comforts close at hand. Air conditioning is installed in all three bedrooms, the kitchen and the living areas, although the home catches such a beautiful natural breeze that the current owner rarely needs to use it.
The modern kitchen adjoins the open-plan dining area, while the updated bathroom includes a shower over the bath and a separate toilet. A generous front sleepout creates a welcoming entry foyer, and the side sleepout offers flexible space for a study, children's rumpus room or cosy second living area.
At the rear, a wonderfully private veranda overlooks a far-reaching backyard that feels much larger than it really is and will provide the right person or family with many hours of enjoyment. Surrounded by high fencing and established gardens, it is exceptionally private and peaceful. The veranda is the perfect place to watch the sun and full moon rise, while the afternoon brings sunset views across to Mount Morgan's historic Big Stack.
Gardeners will love the eight raised vegetable gardens, which make planting, tending and harvesting easy. A rainwater tank and retractable garden hoses make watering simple, while the established garden pathways lead through a wonderful collection of ornamental and edible trees, shrubs and plants.
Getting from the ground level to the home could hardly be easier. The private lift is ideal for bringing up the groceries. Simply load everything in and press one. There is also an entirely covered staircase, providing convenient all-weather access.
Underneath the home is fully concreted and offers full legal-height clearance, with excellent potential for further enclosure, subject to any required approvals. There is comfortable parking for six vehicles beneath the house, plus another two spaces in the carport. Even with the vehicles tucked away, there is still ample room for a workshop, storage, the laundry and easy access to the lift.
Despite the privacy of the property, everyday conveniences are remarkably close. A short walk through the nearby laneway takes you directly to the supermarket and hardware shop, while the post office, bakery, schools, doctors and other town amenities are also within easy walking distance.
This is a home with history, character and an extraordinary amount of practical space. From its peaceful gardens and beautiful veranda outlook to the lift, extensive parking and flexible areas throughout, it offers a lifestyle that is comfortable, private and surprisingly convenient.
