Heart & Heritage on 1,115 sqm Block Just Minutes from CBD
Originally chosen for its privacy, huge block, future potential and proximity to town, this charming mid-century home holds its history with pride, blending heritage character with tasteful updates.
Every detail tells a story, from the salvaged circa-1800 front door to authentic hardwood floors and exquisite art deco leadlight window.
Cottage gardens and a wisteria draped patio create a warm welcome. Turn back toward the street and capture a view of open parklands toward the glistening river beyond.
Inside, 2.7m ceilings with ornate cornices enhance the sense of space as northern light circulates throughout.
At the front, a sunlit lounge room offers a cozy retreat with air conditioning and a feature ceiling fan. Awake to the shimmer of sun over the river from the spacious main bedroom featuring modern mid-century bedside pendants. Nearby, a second bedroom serves as a dressing room adjoining a walk in storage closet and bathroom with a deep soaking bath and separate WC.
The kitchen and dining zone form the home's heart. A broad timber island encourages gathering, paired with a farmhouse sink, abundant storage, new Westinghouse dishwasher, freestanding oven, sleek cooktop and integrated rangehood beneath a Moroccan tiled splash back. Rustic pendants cast a soft glow across the natural textures as French screened doors open to the sprawling backyard. A cozy wood fire completes the picture.
A combined laundry and second bathroom at the rear add practicality. Beyond, a separate wing reveals two spacious bedrooms divided by a barn door study, a private domain for guests, teenagers, or creative work.
The backyard offers space and potential, with room to add a granny flat if desired (STCA). A secure pet enclosure, fruit trees, sustainable garden beds, crepe myrtle, and a camphor laurel tree shape the garden. A top of the range mineral swim spa glows after dark beside a powered studio with Zen courtyard. Furthermore, a 20 -ft container serves as the ultimate garden shed, and 6.6 kW solar panels ensure efficient, low-cost living.
Despite its country feel the home is just minutes from the CBD, airport, hospital, and Pacific Highway north and south. Nearby are waterfront cafes, fine dining restaurants, shops, supermarket and more.
It's rare to find a home that holds both value and heart - but when you do love wins.
