Set on a substantial block in beautifully landscaped gardens, this five-bedroom, family home with seperate study, is a classic example of 1950s Taroona: solid brick construction, tiled roof and high ceilings. These attractive features have been maintained throughout an extensive renovation, creating a seamless flow from the original to the new. The house has been cleverly designed to accommodate multi-generational living with three bedrooms, a study, two bathrooms and spacious living areas on the upper level; whilst a two bedroom, fully equipped apartment on the lower level is an ideal retreat for any age. With its own entrance from the carport, this unit is a potential rental proposition (STCA).
A path meanders through attractive gardens to the front door, and on entering, the eye is drawn to the light-filled conservatory at the far end of the hallway. The original section of the home, however, must not be over-looked. On the right is a spacious master bedroom with river views, a walk-in robe and stylish en suite bathroom; whilst to the left are two double bedrooms with built-in robes, a study, a bathroom, a powder room and a well-appointed laundry. From the sun-drenched conservatory flow the living and dining areas of the home plus a central kitchen with granite benchtops: a wonderful area for both family living, and entertaining. An east-facing balcony with views to the river is ideal for alfresco breakfasts, while a larger deck on the north-west of the conservatory is perfect from noon 'til night. The northerly aspect of the lower-level apartment results in all-day sun with the living area opening onto a paved courtyard surrounded by elegant roses and judiciously planted shrubs and trees.
With off-street, under-cover parking for two cars plus two extra spaces, and a regular bus service at the top of the street, the property has easy access to the shops and facilities of both Sandy Bay and Kingston, while the local primary and high schools are within walking distance. Situated in the leafy suburb of Taroona, it is not only the idyllic setting that attracts discerning buyers but also the iconic nearby riverside walks, attractive beaches and the natural bush of the hinterland.
