The Snapshot
Original hardwood floors, high ceilings, and graceful arches bring authentic period charm to 61 Rawson Street, while the enclosed alfresco, secure corner block, and separate studio provide space for entertaining, working from home, or future projects. With a warm, welcoming feel throughout, it has both history and potential.
The Home
Teal at the front door, original timber underfoot and a story in every arch: this circa-1920 home is a character piece with everyday appeal. Set on a fully fenced corner allotment, it combines original double-brick construction with a flexible layout, secure garden setting and plenty of scope to make its next chapter entirely your own.
Beyond the semi-wraparound verandah, a solid timber door with decorative glass opens to an arched hallway that immediately sets the tone. High ceilings, hardwood floors and period detailing create a sense of warmth and substance, while the split-level design gives each part of the home its own natural rhythm.
The central kitchen is a charming, functional space with timber benchtops, a corrugated iron splashback, and a feature glass French door that conceals the corner pantry. From here, the kitchen flows into the adjoining dining room and living area, where the original fireplace forms a cosy focal point.
Three bedrooms provide a peaceful retreat, all carpeted for comfort. The master includes a walk-in wardrobe, while bedroom three also features built-in storage and an original external access door to the side verandah. The primary bathroom delivers an unexpected contemporary edge, and a second bathroom/laundry adds welcome everyday practicality, making busy mornings, muddy shoes and post-garden clean-ups far easier to manage.
At the rear, double glass doors extend the living area into a partially enclosed, insulated alfresco zone. French doors and feature stained-glass windows give this versatile space an atmosphere all its own.
Established lawns, paved pathways and landscaped garden beds create a peaceful backdrop for pets, children and weekend pottering. Double gates provide access to the side yard, while the separate brick storage shed/studio, complete with a lined ceiling, a ceiling fan, and a sliding glass door, is ready to serve as a workshop, home studio, or additional storage.
Character-rich, comfortably liveable and wonderfully full of possibility, 61 Rawson Street is a home with a lovely sense of soul, inviting you to settle in, personalise at your own pace and make every corner feel like yours.
