Victorian with distinctive warmth and character, magnificent garden setting
This captivating double fronted late Victorian residence (1901), held by its artist owner and family for 35 years, offers expansive living in a quiet neighbourhood close to Sydney Road, public transport and schools. On one of the area's largest blocks (700m2 approx) the home, with classic period detail, abundant light and vibrant colour, opens from a garden and verandah to a wide fretwork-trimmed hallway. A functional floor plan incorporates four double bedrooms (dressing room to main); elegant sitting room and living room opening through French doors to an internal courtyard; dining area and well-equipped timber kitchen; neat bathroom, separate WC and laundry. The home includes a verandah open to a north-facing studio (formerly a dairy), salt-chlorinated swimming pool, off-street parking, wood-fired oven and a spectacular multi-roomed garden, with an abundance of fruit trees, vegetable and herb beds, and a water tank - a home cook's delight! Features include solar hot water and power, limed timber floors, open fireplaces, ducted heating and split-system air conditioning. Nelson Alexander Pty Ltd
