Most heritage homes have a story to tell, but this one is a little different.
The current owner grew up in this house. To her, it has always been 'home'. Like most families, hers eventually moved on, so imagine her delight to find on her return years later, her beloved childhood home was for sale. Now, 40 years later, it is time to hand it over to another deserving family.
Despite improvements over the years, the spacious Victorian masterpiece retains all the original elegance & character of the era.
The harmonious fusion of classic & modern style includes intricate iron lacework to the front verandah overshadowed by inspiring views of the neighbouring cathedral spire.
Inside is the traditional central arched hallway with parquetry flooring & high ceilings. The large main bedroom includes a WIR & ensuite. The second bedroom opposite also has robes & an open fireplace. Two more good-sized bedrooms (BIR) are found further along the hallway.
Internal French doors open to an intimate sitting room featuring a faux log fire in the fireplace under a timber mantelpiece. Next door, another set of French doors frame the formal lounge/dining room boasting another open fireplace, decorative cornice & a ceiling rose.
Working from home is catered for with a home office/study positioned handy to the kitchen.
In 2003, a local Architect & builder undertook a significant makeover & extension incorporating a gourmet kitchen, a generous dining area, bathroom, laundry & vestibule with external entry & access to the double auto garage. A floating staircase rises to the second level living/home theatre/multi-purpose room with a huge picture window overlooking the rear garden.
