This enchanting light-filled 1940s North-facing brick home stands as a proud testament to a bygone architectural era.
Offered for sale only due to a change in the seller's future plans-despite their deep affection for the home-it presents a rare opportunity to secure a truly cherished residence.
Recently enhanced by the removal of creeping vines and overgrown foliage, it's remarkable just how expansive and open the 1250sqm (approx.) block now feels-revealing space and potential that was previously hidden from view.
Its irreplaceable design features a stunning entrance with tessellated tiles, lovely rounded brickwork, a Juliet balcony and a spacious front verandah that captures picturesque views of the hills and park. Set well back from the street for added privacy, the home's exterior charm is perfectly matched by its astounding interior proportions and classic period detailing.
Inside, you'll be captivated by high ornate ceilings each adorned with unique patterns, complemented by etched glass doors and windows along with elegant interior swing doors. The home has been thoughtfully configured to suit the current owner's lifestyle, with what was once the master bedroom-large enough to accommodate a king-size bed-now repurposed as a pool room, while still offering an easy return to a traditional bedroom if desired. The open fireplace in the loungeroom has also been reinstated, bringing warmth and character back to the heart of the home.
The large separate dining room provides flexibility for family living and entertaining, while the kitchen includes a modern gas cooker yet proudly retains the original Metters Empress No. 1 combustion stove-a timeless nod to the home's heritage. Each of the bedrooms offers its own unique charm, serviced by a well-sized bathroom.
To the rear, a verandah/sunroom with polished timber floors is enhanced with a combustion wood fire for cosy winters, while reverse cycle air conditioning ensures comfort through the warmer months. Adding a unique lifestyle touch, what was once an external bathroom has been reimagined into a sauna room-far better suited to modern relaxation.
The expansive grounds continue to impress, with a side driveway leading to the garage and ample space remaining for a larger shed or workshop (STCA).
A rare offering where history, space and lifestyle converge-now with its full sense of scale and openness finally revealed.
