'Havalah' has been in the family since its 1923 build and preserves Edwardian charm. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a river-front period home with extensive views over park land, private driveway access and large established landscaped gardens close to the CBD and Metro.
Three generations of this family have called it home in its 100 year history. The house retains original polished timber floors, French polished architraves, picture rails and panelled doors, working fire places and ornate ceilings. The spacious gourmet kitchen is a cooks delight and is appointed with Smeg appliances and ample storage. Sheltered verandahs provide water and garden views. Gravel terraces and lawn areas offer opportunity for entertaining and private relaxation as well as direct access to the river path. The property provides ample off-street parking and a workshop in the garden. Extending the house on the north and south elevations is an option.
Homes along this stretch of the Cooks River rarely come to market. This is a unique opportunity to acquire a piece of history in a sought-after location.
