1968 Original
Yes ! Not a lot has been changed since this two storey brick house was specifically designed for the original owners and constructed by a family member who was a well respected local registered builder. Imagine the quality of workmanship ! The hardwood floors have been covered by carpet all that time ! The bathroom with separate bath and shower has tiled walls and plenty of space and adjoining linen press. The home has a formal Lounge with feature full height window, a Sunroom with similar natural lighting and Dinning room adjacent to the 1960 s Kitchen with original painted timber cabinetry. The main Bedroom is quite large and the second (both have robes) benefit from the Northerly aspect, taking advantage of the Bay breeze. Internal Stairs is a feature that was not often seen in this era of home and they are of polished timber (hardwood?). The ground floor provides room for two cars, workshop, laundry, storage and rumpus, (this space has been utilized as a third Bedroom and 2nd Living area).
There s a lovely shade tree in the backyard and plenty of room for kids to run-a-muck, even room for a pool. The 733 sqm allotment is almost 20 metre wide and the front of the house is approximately 10 metres from the boundary providing ample space for a boat/car port or extension. The tiled roof was recently re-pointed and painted and the gutters have been replaced.
