What's around 174 Atherton Street

Stunning, renovated home amidst a gardeners' dream, a stroll to cafes and light rail!

This beautifully renovated and extended home is set amidst gorgeous gardens, nurtured to perfection. It is ideally situated in a peaceful location, just a stroll to coffee at Gang Gang or The Knox cafes, schools and playgrounds, and only 1.4 km to the Dickson precinct, swimming pool and light rail. Selection of only the highest quality finishes, maximising energy efficiency and light, and a focus on bringing the garden into the home, have created this stylish and comfortable haven. A neat hedge encloses the front garden, where mature birch and weeping cherry trees, hydrangeas and helibores border soft lawn. The entry opens to the light filled, open plan living area and award winning kitchen. Bathed in light from Velux skylights and picture windows, the kitchen showcases a stone benchtop with waterfall edge and breakfast bar, a Smeg gas cooktop, oven and built-in microwave, dishwasher, ceramic double sink and generous storage. Renovated at the same time, the laundry offers additional benchtop space and generous storage, useful as a butlers' pantry. Engineered Oak flooring features through the spacious living area. Energy efficiency is a standout aspect of the renovation, with double glazing throughout, insulation to walls and ceiling, and LED downlighting. Ducted, zoned reverse cycle air conditioning ensures comfort, there is a new heat pump for hot water and 28 solar panels. Adding to winter ambience, a Nectre slow combustion fireplace is a focal point in the lounge. Full length windows overlook the picturesque rear gardens, featuring archways, many roses, shade trees and lawns. French doors open to a terrace, which leads down to an inviting entertaining area with festoon lighting on a large pergola covered in bountiful kiwi fruit vines. White Iceberg roses and many pastel shades, some over archways, and a greenhouse, border lush lawns and provide a scenic backdrop for relaxing and entertaining. All three bedrooms have a garden view and feature built-in robes, new carpet and elegant sheers. Blinds are fitted throughout the home. Recently renovated, the stylish bathroom offers dual basins with makeup lighting, a bath with shower and separate w/c. A picket fence separates the ornamental garden from the highly productive fruit and veggie growing areas, providing self sufficiency over six months of the year. Nine raised beds provide a generous area for greens, bordered by a variety of berries, hazelnut, almond and olive trees. A separate space includes a chook house, two cherry trees and three varieties of pears, including Nashi, William and Beurre Bosc. Attractive pathways of reclaimed red bricks lead to the garage and driveway, where a variety of citrus thrive, including a lemon and navel orange, two mandarin and lime trees. On the opposite side of the home a pretty camellia hedge shelters the paved clothesline area. An ideal location for a family, it is only a short walk to parks with playgrounds, Majura and Rosary Primary Schools, Dickson College and ovals, The Australian Catholic University, while many other well regarded schools are within easy reach. A stylish home which will nurture with its beauty and bounty, close to Inner North amenities!
