CENTRAL PERIOD HOME - $600000

Description

No. 30 Dickson Street Echuca is a comfortable and inviting Californian bungalow, circa 1925. The first thing to impress as you approach the entrance is the unique leadlight windows, obviously original; they are always a talking point. After entering the front foyer, you will pass through a set of leadlight doors that match the windows, into the spacious lounge room. This enchanting room has 3 sets of double leadlight doors leading into the dining room, front and rear foyers. The lounge room features an original pressed plaster ceiling and picture rails around the walls. The dining room has ample space for a large table and dressers, with the ambiance of an open fire place. The kitchen adjoins the dining room and features new two pack joinery, the dishwasher, refrigerator and freezer are all integrated, the oven and range hood are electric and stainless steel has been used for the splashbacks above the bench tops. The laundry is incorporated into the rear entrance foyer with the cabinetry matching the kitchen. The home has 3 bedrooms, the main is extremely large and provides an ensuite and walk in robe, a niche at the front of the room is currently being used as the study. This room and the 2nd bedroom, have original pressed ceilings. The 2nd bedroom also has a walk in robe and sliding door onto the rear balcony. The 3rd bedroom has a built in robe and overlooks the rear gardens. Throughout the home are beautiful, original polished floor boards with 8 inch skirtings. 10 foot ceilings provide a feeling of spaciousness throughout the home. Quality, lined drapes and light fittings add to the comfort and style of this period gem. A covered verandah spans much of the rear of the home, where the family enjoy most meals. A 30' x 25' garage with remote controlled 12' high roller door provides plenty of storage and an electronic automatic sliding gate enters the rear laneway. Facilities include air conditioning, ducted central heating, security system and fully automated sprinkler system. The position is the best feature of this home. Apart from the kookaburras and other bird life, the only thing to upset the peace and quiet is the occasional "toots" as the paddle steamers travel up the river, which is only one house away. Occasionally on a Sunday afternoon, music drifts up the street from the Port area, which is only a few minutes walk. The Port area is full of eateries and other interesting shops and is a wonderful place to stroll to on a balmy evening, as is the adjacent popular scenic river bush walk ideal for a daily healthy stroll. Dickson Street is a lovely tree lined avenue with many other period homes and the stately St. Joseph's college. The owners are very reluctant to leave this idyllic location but are moving to a larger property out on the river to cater for the growing family and grand children. This property is to be auctioned if not sold prior to Saturday 27th February at 12.30pm.
