Description

What a beautiful and quaint early 1900’s home this is! Packed with original features whilst being tastefully renovated for contemporary living this property will please the aesthetic senses AND fulfill your ‘location and lifestyle’ dreams at the same time. Moreover, this home offers much more space than its lovely street frontage would imply. Enjoying the best of both worlds with a rural outlook and aesthetic whilst being within walking distance to town, the home is on a 677 m² block featuring a private yard perfect for the avid gardener or the family with active kids. Overlooking this lovely yard are two generous covered rear timber decks (ground floor and upper level) for outdoor entertaining or simply to soak in the Northerly facing views of the picturesque neighbouring farmland and the scenic hills beyond.

The 3 bedroom 2 bathroom home retains all the period features of the early 1900's including VJ panelling, picture rails, polished timber floors, high ceilings, spacious rooms, original French and single ripple-glass panelled doors, wide layered architraves, brass hardware, fretwork dividers, transom window over the original 4-panelled front door and frosted glass hopper windows.
The more contemporary additions to the home are sympathetic to the original features whilst emphasising light and air-flow. These include white subway tiling in the bathrooms and glass louvres for capturing the country breezes (both Federation staples) with the addition of high horizontal windows in some rooms. The reshaping of the floorplan to suit contemporary living has also made this home comfortable in every way. These features include an open plan flow between the kitchen and living, a similar flow from dining to the outdoor deck, a deep and semi-enclosed front verandah, a second bathroom/laundry combined, the addition of those two decks, and the sealing of the under-house area to accommodate two vehicles undercover and securely. Making the best use of this under-house area is the building-in of additional rumpus room or bedroom/living/storage space making it the perfect guest accommodation or teenagers’ retreat. There are also useful sunroom/nooks to add a study or a dressing space to your floorplan.

Creature comforts are all there in this home – air conditioning, ceiling fans, solar panels and solar hot water, gas cooking, dishwasher, a full-sized bath and that all important storage is catered for with a 3.7m x 2.5m secure space under the home. There’s even 3 phase power for the needs of all trades arts or crafts.

This superb home offers the best of town living with plenty of space and liveability options; close to transport, schools, shops and the hospital, yet only 25 minutes by car to Gold Coast International Airport and 20 minutes by car to beautiful Tweed Coast beaches.
