Property Details
Close to the city in a quiet cul-de-sac, this gracious and much-loved home sits in a large and sheltered section with mature trees.
It has considerable scope for development without disturbing its character.
The solid, double-brick three double-bedroom house was built by an engineer to high specifications and has been refurbished, including rewiring, re-plumbing, insulation, heating, leadlights and skylights.
Sweeping steps to the verandah and front door create a striking entrance. This opens into a generous hallway with a dramatic timbered archway and matai floors.
The living room has a large corner north-west window overlooking the garden. The tiled fireplace with wooden surround now features a modern gas heater.
The dining room has a fireplace, skylight and a wide window with views of the lush rear garden.
Overlooking the front garden, the master bedroom features a large bay window with leadlights, and floor-to-ceiling cupboards. The second double bedroom also has a large bay window and overlooks the front garden. The third bedroom is also a sizeable double.
The bathroom has a Bosch gas hot water system. A new second toilet has been installed in the spacious laundry/storage area. The kitchen has gas cooking, with a rangehood, dishwasher and generous pantry.
The large basement is ideal for storage, as a work/hobby room, man cave or teenage retreat.
Although the property doesn’t have off-street parking, it is possible to rent a neighbouring covered carport for $25 per week.
Very close to public transport, the Kilbirnie Aquatic Centre and shopping centre, as well as the Town Belt with its walking and biking tracks.
An oasis so close to the city is a rare find – prepare to fall in love!
