A home with heart, 'Ellecott' is a Federation era beauty steeped in rich history. Built circa 1910 for a Miss Merewether, thought to be a descendant of Mr Edward Merewether, the founder of the suburb by the same name, this special property has only changed hands four times.
Showcasing a near-new custom Sheldons built, solid timber kitchen with 40mm stone benchtops, 12m x 2.3m heated swimming pool with custom made cover, 4.3kW solar system, and having undergone a full external professional repaint, it has been lovingly maintained and modernised and awaits a new family to cherish it for years to come.
Its heritage features retained, the eye is immediately drawn to the soaring ornate ceilings and picture rails, detailed fretwork, leadlight panelling, turret windows, skylights, polished tongue and groove timber floors, and the original fireplace in the lounge room.
Featuring four generous bedrooms, each with a built-in robe, the fourth with an ensuite could be used as a home office/study, guest bedroom, or teenage retreat.
Resting on 903sqm with level rear lane access, its sprawling grounds reveal a three-car carport and a driveway with impressive bluestone drywall, as well as a secure under-house storage area/man cave.
Extensive established gardens leave a lasting impression while the home enjoys spectacular views from every vantage point and cool sea breezes year-round from its elevated position.
Situated within easy walking distance of Adamstown shops, Westfield Kotara, cafes, medical facilities and an organic grocer, a 5-minute bike ride to the Fernleigh Track, and a 7-minute drive to Merewether Beach, its central location in a whisper quiet neighbourhood with long-term neighbours will surely seal the deal for prospective buyers.
