Alive with ambience, this character-laden 1940s weatherboard residence is a picturesque retreat in the Red Hill township just a short walk to Red Hill South's boutique shopping village.
Set on 746sqm, approx. with convenient rear access from Perry Lane, the home is wrapped within protective cottage gardens providing colour throughout the seasons with towering shade trees offering shelter for the abundant visiting wildlife, terraces to relax with family and friends, ample water storage and a grey water garden system.
Instantly inviting, the interior reflects its gracious origins from high ornate ceilings, period light fittings, lead-light French doors and timber floorboards. A north easterly aspect shines natural light into the spacious family living and dining room with a pot belly stove for winter warmth; while behind French doors a formal living room features a clever loft retreat or fourth bedroom option. A country-style kitchen with polished timber benchtops enjoys a breakfast bar, dishwasher and a quaint original IXL wood stove set in the fireplace complemented by a modern freestanding stainless steel gas stove.
Three bedrooms including the tranquil main bedroom with a Coonara wood heater are served by a modern bathroom with a separate toilet. A laundry features a convenient mud room entrance from the garden. A vast under-house area includes a garage complemented a workshop or studio area and excellent potential for further conversion. There is also the possibility of two further car parks if required.
Equally appealing as a permanent home, investment or holiday rental, this idyllic home is situated just a short distance from the popular Epicurean Centre, iconic Red Hill Market, Red Hill-Merricks horse riding trails and Point Leo beach.
