#soldbymcreynolds #soldbycrisExceptional value for this spacious home!This charming updated and extended versatile three-bedroom home gives you a warm embrace from the get-go. There is the grace of the cherry tree just now bursting into blossom and the aromatic joy of endless lavender and herbs. One imagines, enjoying a cuppa on the front deck, basking in the northern warmth, watching the world go by. If house's truly do have human traits, this one is a best friend - down-to-earth, generous and friendly. Perhaps it's the sunny ochre, yellow scheme of the kitchen or the sunshine that tumbles into the large north facing rooms. There are also the bright colours of calendula flowers, raspberry canes and fresh greens, the garden never disappoints. Cared for by the loving owners over many years, the home has a rambling country feel and a relaxed vibe. The whole home perfect for communing with family and friends, think home cooked meals picked straight from the garden and lots of places to gather and chat. You can easily move around according to the weather and the seasons. In summer there is the shelter of the outdoor veranda and patio. The whole garden shaded by a magnificent Chinese elm. In winter the front deck or snuggly front living area are the places to be. The kitchen feels modern country and delivers ample storage and space to cook and mingle. A small island sits central and there is an enjoyable open connection with the dining area. The front and back door can be opened to cross breezes, which is great in summer and lending a lovely airy vibe to the whole space. The master bedroom welcomes light and a leafy outlook via a wall of casement windows that perfectly frame Mt Majura. There is a wall of built-in-robes painted in a blush of pink. Bedroom two also has a built-in-robe and both bedrooms two and three overlook the back gardens.
