Beautifully preserved mid-century character (c1948) and exceptional future possibilities unite in this lovingly-maintained 3-bedroom residence on 610m2 (approx), where generous dimensions and a deep Northern rear create a home that is as rewarding to enjoy today as it is inspiring to reimagine for tomorrow. Framed by lush established gardens, the graceful rendered facade and handsome columned verandah introduce a home of warmth and authenticity, while being surrounded by some of Norwood's most loved lifestyle attractions.
A curved entry opens to the hallway where soaring ceilings adorned by statement pendant lights, timber flooring and crisp white interiors define a beautifully proportioned layout. Art deco feature glass French doors reveal an elegant formal lounge room where a vintage open fireplace creates a natural gathering place.
The three bedrooms are all generous in size, the second with a wall of mirrored built-in robes, while the central fully tiled white bathroom will delight with its deep soaking bath and atrium backdrop, storage vanity, walk-in shower and WC, complemented by an adjoining powder room.
Basking in day long sunshine, the open plan kitchen/dining and living domain presents a striking picture with its monochrome tiled flooring. The kitchen showcases a glorious stained glass window and features a central island bench with storage, black tiled splash back, stainless steel oven, gas cooktop and Miele dishwasher. Extensive glazing includes French doors in the living zone that frame the established North-facing rear with lawn, garden beds and an undercover entertaining area with pizza oven, sink and cabinetry. This outdoor setting, where you can even shoot hoops, offers a blissfully private and serene backdrop for family enjoyment.
A freestanding rear studio provides the sought after separation and versatility families desire. Currently styled as a bedroom, it provides flexibility to use as a hobby/games room, teen retreat or home office, and offers scope for future enhancement. An additional small room on the side of this building could also be utilised as an outdoor kitchen, workshop etc.
