A VISIT TO THIS PROPERTY WILL NOT DISAPPOINT!Subtly understated with its charming street frontage, you are first introduced to 'the front house', an impressively renovated, 2-bedroom 1 bathroom heritage-listed circa-1900s character home. Most of the original charm of yesteryear has been preserved within the main house, in the form of soaring high ceilings, solid Jarrah floorboards throughout and other intricate nostalgic features. Both bedrooms near the entrance are more than spacious, with the master bedroom enjoying direct access out to a pleasant wrap around bull-nose verandah.The central lounge room with its burning wood fireplace, keeps everyone warm in winter with access to a small north-facing deck/nook through glass French doors - the perfect place to sit and relax with a cup of tea or coffee in hand. A quality modern bathroom is easily accessible to everybody and is headlined by a double rain shower.The functional open plan dining and kitchen area off the lounge room is the heart and soul of the home. This light filled room enjoys crossflow ventilation through the louvered windows either side of the double glass doors which open out to the fabulous covered alfresco entertaining area. A terrific study nook enjoys a leafy northern outlook to the garden. At the rear, and up a flight of stairs, you will find a private sanctuary - an airy open-plan one bedroom, one bathroom, kitchen, living and meals area which seamlessly extends outdoors to an adjacent north facing deck on which to relax and unwind. The adjoining staircase allows access to the most surprisingly tranquil backyard.The real "hidden gem" of this residence is a basement beneath the garage that doubles as a theatre, studio or music room with full soundproofing. Or the perfect "man cave", if you are that way inclined.This unique property is so versatile. A multiple generational home or two separate families with living and entertainment possibilities aplenty. Absolutely everything you could ever want or need is right here with transport options right on your doorstep and Claremont Quarter a short walk away as is Scotch College, Christ Church Grammar and MLC. Something special awaits you, here.
