Last Listing description (September 2016)

Legend has it that this fine property was originally built by a local newspaper baron in 1910. Over the last 100 years it has been owned by the church and in more recent times was occupied by an antiques dealer.

Today it proudly sits as one of Waratah's few remaining original classics. This charming house will be difficult not to fall in love with from the moment you walk through the private front entrance. With wide bull-nose verandas around 3 sides it has an air of yesteryear which is impossible to re-create.

Inside the property you will find 3 very large bedrooms, a spacious living room and modernised facilities that do not compromise its period elegance. Significant features include high pressed metal ceilings, wide timber floorboards, iron fretwork and original fireplaces.

The house flows freely through to an open plan kitchen, dining and living space. This spills through French doors onto a private deck and separate entertaining area. Through a side entrance is a double garage with remote control access, power and plumbing.

This home is extremely private. Live here and you won't believe how close you are to all of Waratah's amenities. With the shops, train station, 4 schools and Mater hospital all within 1 km, this property will suit owner-occupiers and investors alike.

Some additional features of this wonderful property include:
- Newly installed Air filtration system
- Split system air conditioner
- 11 ft. ceilings

The property is currently tenanted, although the lease has recently expired, and the tenants have expressed interest to stay in this grand beauty.
