You could easily drive past this home and be completely deceived by its seemingly "ordinary" street appeal...but that's when you need to turn around, take a second look...and come inside to view this incredible property!
From the moment you walk inside, there's a sense of intrigue with each room showcasing the larger than usual sized rooms upstairs. The lounge really is the show-stopper which is spacious enough to accommodate larger furniture and frames the beautiful views out across to the Bridge, the River Derwent and the surrounding treetops. You could sit here for hours and watch the views and admire the array of birdlife that visit. A huge tiled deck naturally flows off this lounge with cable balastrade to make the most of the breath-taking outlook. This is also the perfect place to continue entertaining on those warmer evenings we all look forward to, when not relaxing in the lounge with stairs leading down to the enormous backyard. The separate dining and kitchen area is also spacious, and while original, is both quirky, functional and offers loads of cupboards and a layout that could be easily be updated in the future if you tire of the rather apt timber look.
An ideal floorplan for families, the three upstairs bedrooms all have built-in robes with a great sized main bedroom, enjoying the same views that the lounge and deck provide. The main bathroom on this level services all the needs of a family with a separate toilet for added convenience.
Internal stairs lead to another two bedrooms which again have built-in robes and a second living space downstairs! These are not as large as the upstairs bedrooms, but are great if you have children who want their own space, or could work beautifully as a "his and hers" home office with the benefit of a sliding door off the rumpus leading outside for level entry inside without needing to go upstairs.
The laundry and a second shower and toilet are adequate to accommodate the needs of those downstairs. Access to the backyard from both the laundry and the top deck suit if you have a dog and the enclosed backyard is huge, offering a multitude of exciting scope for future planning if you need extra space to accommodate family or want to explore options to strata title, pending Council Approval of course.
The separate garage would make a great studio or workshop...and even has water views! Ample parking on site for several vehicles in addition to the garage is always a bonus if you have a caravan or boat. While the home is not your traditional "modern style", it has big windows that were a 1970's architectural highlight, with some practical upgrades over the years such as reverse cycle heating in the lounge, updated flooring, white aluminium windows and tiling.
Don't just drive past this surprising home...it will be a home you can't help fall in love with once you walk through the front door!
