Last Listing description (February 2022)
Wind back the clock to 1961 and oh havent the times changed. In 1961 Robert Menzies was the Prime Minister, the last electric tram service ran in Sydney, Australia defeated England 2-1 to retain the ashes, Lord Fury wins the Melbourne Cup, Four Corners first screened on TV, the Parkes radio telescope was officially opened and Dame Joan Sutherland is announced Australian of the year.
It was in this same year that Mr Ivan Somerville selected a vacant allotment on Goonellabahs Northern Ridge, and it is here he designed and built a home for his soon to be wife Elsie and himself. He named the property "Kalimna" which is apparently derived from the aboriginal meaning of place on the hill. They moved into their new home straight after their honeymoon in August 1961.
Kalimna is now offered for sale for only the second time since it was constructed. Lowset brick home with terracotta tile roof sitting on a lovely level 986sqm block retaining all the original features Mr & Mrs Somerville so proudly created. Inside you will find 2 big bedrooms plus study. Spacious open plan lounge dining with beautiful hardwood timber floors. The home features beautiful original timber features such as timber doors, architraves, pelmets and a magnificent built-in office desk made from western red cedar, selected and milled from the Somerville farm at Tuncester. The kitchen is original 1961 style with curved cupboards typical of the era. The main bathroom is also original with exception of an updated vanity and is in superb condition with terrazzo floors, shower over tub, WC and vanity. There is also a second bathroom. The large enclosed sunroom has a beautiful northern aspect and overlooks the large level yard and the more recent addition of a solar heated
inground pool.
There is a single garage for car accommodation plus separate lockup workshop and storage area. Another more recent addition is the solar electricity system to keep your energy costs to a minimum.
This beautifully constructed home enjoys a very convenient location within walking distance to school, medical centre, shops and bus service.
"Kalimna" offers the new owners a very well built home that retains all the classic features of the 1961 era with some very appealing modern features and just awaits your own personal touches.
We recommend your early inspection.
