Situated on a large (988sqm) corner block in a desirable location, this delightful home has an appealing street presence and a unique story to tell.
As you step inside the front door into a generous entry hall, a magnificent hardwood timber floor extends as far as the eye can see. High ceilings and decorative cornices add to the instant appeal. Either side of the entry, built-in coat cupboards add an elegant and practical touch.
Straight ahead is a spacious formal living room. Enjoy an electric heater fitted into the stone surrounds of a generous fireplace, and a light-filled room fit for welcoming guests.
Casual meals can be enjoyed in the roomy, eat-in kitchen featuring plantation shutters, white cabinetry and external access to the carport at the side of the home.
Adjoining both the kitchen and the living room is a formal dining room, which in turn leads to a large family room with built-in bar, which overlooks the backyard and inground pool. This is fabulous space for relaxing and entertaining. Also overlooking the backyard is an inviting sunroom, lined with bookshelves, and a separate office. The home has three bedrooms—all are old-school spacious and include ceiling fans and built-in robes.
Outside there are two undercover entertaining areas: a patio for morning coffee, or wine o’clock, as well as a sweet cabana to relax in in-between dips in the sparkling swimming pool.
In a rare and lovely twist, you can read about the purchase of the block and construction of the house in a book written by Charles Henry, the original owner of this property and the grandfather of the current owner. Mr Henry would surely be impressed today, to see his charming property in such immaculate condition, updated to reflect contemporary tastes and needs, and ready for a brand-new chapter.
