Timeless Victorian Classic Offering Exceptional Liveability and Value-Add Potential

Tucked away behind a charming white-picket fence, in the historic heart of the city fringe, sits this graceful Victorian home brimming with potential. Behind the enchanting faade, featuring intricate wrought-iron lacework and a wide wrap-around verandah, lies a home waiting to be adored. Exceptionally liveable as is, this home also affords a rare opportunity to add value by restoring it to its full former lustre.

Stepping through the front door is like stepping back in time, with every part of this home infused with character. Vintage features like stained glass, pressed metal ceilings, ornate plasterwork, and lofty pressed-metal ceilings speak of the home's rich character. The traditional hallway showcases an ornate plaster arch, where soaring high ceilings amplify the sense of space and light.

From here you'll discover a grand master and second bedroom, each of true Victorian proportions. The master features a gorgeous cast-iron fireplace with an ornate timber mantle, and glamorous French doors opening to the wraparound verandah. A third bedroom is tucked away at the rear, a generous double, offering versatility and privacy. Two bright bathrooms each feature baths with a shower overhead, streamlining family routines.

In the open-plan kitchen and dining area, heritage character blends effortlessly with contemporary flair. Natural light pours in through tall French windows, casting a soft glow over the wide Kauri floorboards. The modern kitchen boasts charming provincial cabinetry, wide drawers and generous bench space, ready to inspire your inner chef. Adjacent to this room lies a formal living room with air-conditioning and an elegant cast-iron fireplace with a cosy wood-fire heater, providing a refined setting for entertaining, or an inviting haven where you can curl in front of the fire for family time.

An additional living space at the rear makes a wonderful playroom, hobby room, or simply a peaceful spot to lounge and while away the hours. Adjoining this space is a generous laundry, which would have served as the original kitchen in the home's heyday and now offers enticing potential as a studio retreat, complete with a welcoming hearth at its centrepiece.

Outside, a huge paved alfresco area suggests relaxed outdoor living, accompanied by sprawling private lawns fringed by mature flowering and fruiting trees, offering a rare green oasis in this tightly held suburb. Another rarity is the addition of a carport with private off-street parking via convenient double gates.
