Stunning Fully Renovated, Bluestone Villa with Three Quarter Verandah (Circa 1890)

ALL OFFERS CONSIDERED!!

Be prepared to fall head over heels in love with this super impressive home with many period features that are a classic reminder of a bygone era.

The home is set on a large 1198m2 allotment and will impress with its character from the moment you see it.

A bull nose verandah to the front of the home provides a great place to start the day with breakfast while listening to the birds in the surrounding trees or end the day while enjoying a glass or two of your favourite drink while watching the world go by.

You will be more than impressed by the extensive use of leadlight throughout the home including the gorgeous front entry. As soon as you step inside you can’t help but notice the height of the ceilings adding to the sense of spaciousness of the home.

The home has been renovated to a very high standard including a new roof recently meaning you can just move in, relax and enjoy. Offering 3 very generous bedrooms (as you would expect of a home of this era). Bedroom 1 comes with Baltic pine ceilings, a ceiling fan to assist with cooling which is not often needed and quality carpet, bedroom 2 is similar in size to bed 1 and has Baltic floors and ceilings as well as a ceiling fan, bedroom 3 again offers Baltic floors and ceilings, a working fire place and its own external access which would make a great room for a teenager or young adult.

The large lounge offers plenty of space for family gatherings or just relaxing watching television and comes complete with another working fireplace. Adjacent to the lounge room is the family room and its slow combustion heater that provides warmth and comfort on those chilly winter days and nights. Solid timber doors have been fitted throughout for privacy and sound insulation.

The heart of the home is a gorgeous timber kitchen with plenty of bench and storage space, as well as a dishwasher and quality Tasmanian Oak floors, the family chef will be more than happy creating culinary delights here. Next to the kitchen is the meals/sunroom with access to the rear yard. A combined laundry/bathroom with colonial style tiling completes the home.

A cellar to the front of the home offers a great place for wine storage or to hide those infrequently used items. A double garage provides secure parking for 2 cars; alternatively it would make a great workshop.

If you love entertaining outside you will be the envy of friends and family with the huge paved area and pitched roof pergola to keep the elements at bay.

There is side access to the property, with plenty of space for the boat, caravan or additional cars. You can keep the garden healthy with 13,500 litres of rainwater storage.

The home is set amongst low maintenance English style gardens and mature hedges that complement the era of the home. An added and unusual bonus of the property is the lined well, just toss in a coin and who knows, all your wishes may come true.

This really is a quality home that will stand the test of time; it has so many extra features it requires an inspection to be appreciated.
