Those who are familiar with the more out of the way pockets of Blackheath will understand the Staveley Parade is one of the best kept secrets in town.
And for good reason too, this no through street runs along a ridge line and has stunning views down the Valley to the Megalong.
Another terrific attribute is that the street is walk to town and public transport so it has that 'Just Right' location.
Number 17 Staveley Parade is a gem too, set on a spacious not too large and not too small 898M2 parcel full of cool climate plantings and some of the most magnificent camelia plantings I have ever seen.
The house itself is a beautifully maintained classic 1920's weatherboard will all the charm you would expect from a home of this era and the huge bonus here is that it has not been tampered with too much over the years.
Sure, there are some aluminium windows but the rooms are well proportioned, the ceilings are high and it has all the original Hardwood internal lining boards which is rare as many were gyp-rocked in later years.
Entering from the street through the front gardens the first impression is of a modest home, and primarily this is because you are effectively entering from the rear.
The front of the house overlooks the gardens and some very lovely district views and the aspect is north, a very desirable attribute up here, trust me!
On the Staveley Parade side you have a kitchen, and a laundry, plus a bathroom which then flows through to a spacious lounge room, with a fireplace.
As mentioned before, the rooms are all a generous size with high ceilings and the original lining boards.
Off this room to the East is a bedroom and moving through are another two bedrooms , again, very generous and at the front (or rear) depending on how your head works is a spectacular sunroom, with original sash windows on the east and northern sides that is flooded with light and over looks those spectacular gardens and the outlook beyond.
Under the carpets are original wide kauri floor boards too and they are in terrific nick as they have been protected for many years.
There is also a free standing garage, more a 1.5 car garage which could hold cars but could also become a studio or a work from home space.
The potential here is terrific, you are not paying for someone else's horrible Reno, the bones are good, it has been well maintained and the overwhelming impression is of a warm, light filled, spacious home that has potential in spades.
