Lovingly refurbished, returning many of the original features of this 1920s 3-bedroom bungalow to their former glory whilst bringing 21st Century comforts to the mix, 9 Blackburn Avenue is a stellar example of how to create a home that serves up the best of worlds, old and new!
Positioned behind a sweet picket fence and sporting the distinctive gabled roofline and semi-enclosed front verandah that denotes its era, there's plenty of historic charm on show from the get-go. Inside, solid timber pine floorboards have been repolished and timber-panelled ceilings retained and whitewashed - but overall, the scales tip in favour of modern luxury.
Gone are the old kitchen and wet areas, and in their place - a modern haven for culinary creativity with a suite of stainless appliances and leafy rear garden outlook, plus two deluxe full-height tiled bathrooms, and a flash-fitted laundry/powder room. In the combined lounge/dining area out front, an open fireplace nods to the past, while a sleek, handle-free custom wall unit/buffet adds a fancy focal point, along with valuable storage and display space.
Two bedrooms branch off the main living area, the master with a chic ensuite and suspended reading lights, while the third sits across from the new main bathroom where occupants can enjoy long rain showers or bubble-filled soaks in the freestanding tub! Alfresco feasts can be hosted either undercover on the paved patio that opens into the kitchen through French Doors or beneath the stars on a raised timber deck overlooking the veggie beds.
In this premium city-fringe location, you can get to town in minutes by bus, with stops just down the street, and easily walk to one-stop shopping at nearby Hilton Plaza, while a short drive will have you at the beach in no time this summer!
