IT'S unusual to find a home to suit investors, growing families and people wanting to downsize alike, but this beautiful home in leafy Girards Hill does it with style.
To the growing family this is a substantial four bedroom home with three distinct internal living areas, two bathrooms, and two scenic covered outdoor entertaining areas, including the front deck and its peaceful views across the Lismore Workers Golf Course to the hills beyond.
To the investor, it's two homes. Part of the home has been set up as a completely self-contained two bedroom apartment with its own bathroom, kitchen, and laundry. It even has its own driveway.
With the apartment in play, the main home transforms as well. One of the living spaces - currently serving as a piano room - can now be used as a bedroom if required, giving you three bedrooms in the main home. This means there remains enough space in the main home to house your family while the apartment offers an income to reduce your mortgage or a place where extended family can live.
People wanting to downsize can take their pick of living space - the main home or the apartment - and rent out the other.
Regardless of which category you fall into, you'll fall in love with the home's elegant styling, its lush green surrounds and idyllic views.
The golf course sits right on the other side of quiet Eden Street, making the home ideal for golf enthusiasts.
This beautiful light-filled home was built in the 1950s and retains all the charm of that era with features such as polished timber floors and high ceilings. However, the home has also been updated to offer the best of contemporary living with features such as air-conditioning, a modern kitchen complete with stone benchtop, stainless steel under-bench dishwasher, bench-mounted gas cooktop and electric oven. The main living space also features a wood heater to keep you cosy in the cooler months.
The yard is lovely, with easily-maintained lawns under spreading shade trees that give it the feel of an English country garden. The back yard, leading off the back patio/entertaining area has been tiered, with the two levels joined by a pretty stone stairway. The design of the house effectively divides the yard into distinct sections - which gives outdoor living spaces as distinct as the indoor ones and which is another handy feature if you are renting out the apartment.
This home, with its beauty, flexibility, and location is a rare find. Book your inspection before it's snapped up.
