HISTORIC PROPERTY ON 1/4 ACRE - $425000

Description

Most people will readily recognize this Peart Street home which is being offered for resale for the first time in 20 years. This was one of the earlier buildings within the town boundary and was located at the back of what was known as Smiths Paddock. Now, of coarse, the property, sitting on a block over 1000m2 in size, is beautifully located in regard to the ease of access to the current shopping & theatre precinct of the town. A blaze of purple bougainvillea peeps through the high front picket fence. A canopied column-gatehouse provides access from the street, across a sunny expanse of lawn, behind which stands the gracious Edwardian home which has been renovated and extended to suit contemporary lifestyles. Artificial cladding has recently been removed from parts of the exterior and replaced with new weatherboards which are in keeping with the original. The home has been professionally painted and the original roof has been replaced with colourbond. There are 4 good-sized bedrooms. The master bedroom & en suite with spa-bath was added in the extensions, and a sliding door opens directly from the room onto the verandah. Designed effectively for family living, the new blackwood-kitchen, with gas burners and electric oven, is well endowed with large drawers, a double-sink, ample bench space and a large tiled pantry. The tiled family /dining area adjoining, provides an inviting sunny spot for day-to-day activities, whilst mum can keep an eye on the youngsters in the back yard through the glass. The original wide hallway with 13 ceilings has been retained and embellished with tonal paint-work which depicts the decorative ceiling-features throughout the home. The package is completed by a new cobbled-look driveway, extending from the street to a long, spacious, steel garage at the back. A fence divides this from the backyard, thus providing a secure area for toddlers and family pets. No further work needs to be done to this property before a new owner could turn the key and move a new family in.
