In its entire history, only two families have had the privilege of calling this residence home - including the current owner for the last forty years. Set in an elevated, flood-free position, this property offers the chance to secure a home that has been maintained with exceptional care. It's more than just a house; it's a home that really needs to be seen in person to be fully appreciated.
Start your day with a morning coffee on the east-facing balcony, overlooking the private, leafy backyard. Inside, the high ceilings, natural light, large rooms, and polished timber floors create an immediate sense of warmth. There's character in every corner, from the classic timber detailing to the textured glass, ornate cornices, ceiling roses and French doors. In the heart of the home, a traditional combustion fireplace is ready to make your winter nights comfortable.
You'll find air-conditioning in the main living area as well as three of the four bedrooms, while the two large main bedrooms also feature ceiling fans and built-in robes (rare for this era of home). The practicalities are notable: solar panels (with a brand-new inverter) keep energy costs down, while premium pure wool ceiling insulation provides effective natural climate control year-round.
The layout is designed for practicality, with three toilets in total across the home. Downstairs offers a versatile addition: a council-approved bedroom complete with its own ensuite. This space opens out onto a quaint, covered outdoor patio, making it ideal as a teenager's retreat, a peaceful home office, or a private wing for guests.
The level backyard has been beautifully kept over the years, featuring an established grapevine that climbs the stairs and over the deck. The yard also includes a calming water feature and a small pond, adding a sense of peace to this private space.
Storage and Utility Practicality is a priority here. The home features a single lock-up garage with plenty of under-house storage space located right next to it-perfect for a workshop, hobby gear, or keeping household extras neatly tucked away.
Tucked away in a tightly held pocket of East Lismore, you'll be surrounded by neighbours with a strong sense of community. You are perfectly positioned for convenience-close to the hospital, university, and golf course-yet once you step behind your private garden gate, the rest of the world feels very far away.
