Rich in character and history, this late nineteenth century home which was the local shop in its early days, offers a rare opportunity to enjoy the charm of a bygone era, now thoughtfully updated for modern living.
Behind its appealing exterior, the home reveals three generously sized bedrooms, true to the proportions of its time, along with high ceilings, lovely original features and beautiful floorboards that add warmth and authenticity throughout. There are also finished timber boards beneath the bedroom carpets, offering further scope to enhance the home’s period appeal.
The kitchen, bathroom and laundry have all been tastefully modernised, blending practical everyday living with the timeless character of the home. The spacious living area is both inviting and comfortable, complete with a wood heater and reverse cycle heat pump for year-round comfort. Electrical upgrades have also been completed.
Fireplaces in the bedrooms and dining room are currently boarded, however they remain in place and could potentially be reopened and enjoyed once again, adding even more charm to these already lovely spaces. There is also good attic storage, a valuable bonus in a home of this era.
Outside, the property feels like a private oasis. Established gardens, including a beautiful birch and willow tree and a wonderful collection of mature plants and trees, create a peaceful and picturesque setting to enjoy in every season. The north facing courtyard is a particularly lovely feature, with French doors from the dining room opening out to make indoor outdoor living and entertaining feel effortless.
Adding further appeal are the old stables at the rear, full of character, with original details, and 15-amp power connected for use as a workshop. These have plenty of potential for a range of uses. A double carport provides practical off-street parking.
Set across two titles of approximately 1118 sqm with the house, plus a further 905 sqm, this is a property that offers both immediate enjoyment and exciting future potential. Whether you simply wish to relax and appreciate the space and beauty as the current owners have, or explore the development possibilities, there is plenty to consider here. With potential for three units, subject to boundary adjustment and council approval, this is an opportunity with both heart and scope.
Positioned in a highly convenient and family friendly setting, the home enjoys close proximity to Dru Point Bicentennial Park, offering play equipment, a café, scenic walking tracks, a dog exercise area, tennis court and a soon to be completed basketball court.
A nearby boat ramp adds further lifestyle appeal, while local shops are within easy walking distance. Families will appreciate the convenience of two schools also close by, making daily routines simple and stress free.
All of this, just a short 10 minute drive to Kingston, providing easy access to major shopping, services and amenities.
