GORGEOUS HERITAGE CHARM
Built in around 1905 and full of strikingly beautiful heritage features, this splendid New Town home holds enormous appeal for a variety of potential new owners. There is so much to love, including its warm and sunny disposition, its contemporary rear extension, and its fully fenced cottage garden.
You will also be well poised to take advantage of its fantastic Clare Street address, ideally located across from Sacred Heart College, near the Clare St Oval, on a bus route and close to the vibrant New Town shops and services.

First impressions are outstanding, with the pretty street facade and garden a pleasure to behold. Immaculately presented, the quality and attention to detail presented to passers-by are just a hint of what lies inside. The easy-access, off-street parking area is in addition to the carport and surprisingly stylish garage with a remote door that is in keeping with the style of the home.
Through the gate in the white picket fence, the covered porch provides somewhere to relax in the sunshine. The front entrance does not disappoint, revealing stained glass panels, high ceilings with an ornate ceiling rose and stunning chandelier, and Tas Oak floorboards.
The size of the rooms flowing from the hallway is extremely generous. Very tastefully painted and decorated, the rooms are further enhanced by the addition of picture rails, sash windows and remarkable fireplaces with mantels.
To the left of the entrance with a lovely street-front aspect is the formal lounge room. This could also make a superb fourth bedroom if preferred. The three bedrooms are all substantial and display sophisticated style. A king-sized bed would fit comfortably in all of them. All bedrooms have built-in robes, while two of them have a fireplace.
The family bathroom is bright and fresh, with an element of luxury. Built-in, open shelving provides ample storage, while the warm timber vanity makes a statement next to the white tiles. A corner shower plus a separate, luxurious spa bath with water jets and cushioned head rest exceeds all expectations.
Character charm meets contemporary style in the open-plan kitchen, dining and living area extension at the rear. Presenting as new, it features all the modern conveniences including a heat pump, downlights, an abundance of storage, stainless-steel splashbacks and beautiful timber benchtops.
To one side of the dining space, a casual living area is a welcome addition, offering relaxed living in a harmonious setting. On the other side of the dining space, French doors open to allow seamless access to the timber deck and rear garden. This is a useable space you will cherish, with lovely views to Mount Wellington.
A security system is installed for your peace of mind.
Mel is delighted to present such a beautiful home. Come and be introduced.
