There's something wonderfully reassuring about a home that has stood the test of time, and this beautiful 1940s Domain Road property is a particularly lovely example.
Set back attractively from the road on a generous, sun-filled 1012sqm section, the freshly painted weatherboard home is full of the warmth, character and craftsmanship of its era. Native timber, beautiful floorboards and original timber joinery sit alongside a practical layout that feels just as relevant for family life today.
Enter from the gorgeous road-facing porch into the welcoming warmth of the foyer, the stairway woodwork a glimpse of things to come.
At 129sqm, there's generous living with a cosy woodburner and dining, with the main bedroom and bathroom downstairs, along with a separate WC in the laundry - excellent for use from the studio in the rear. The kitchen, with a new oven installed, looks out across the sunny backyard, a wonderfully large, flat and fully fenced space with plenty of room for children, pets, gardens and outdoor living. Upstairs, two sun-filled bedrooms for family or guests.
And then there's the studio. Large, lined and insulated, with two rooms, a kitchenette space and its own covered deck, a fabulous addition to the property. Use it for creative pursuits, working from home, extra living or accommodation for family and friends, with potential to explore further possibilities over time.
From the delightful front entrance to the native hardwood within, and even the macrocarpa fence, there's a sense that this property was created by people who cared about what they were building. Characterful and beautifully welcoming, this property is ready for the next owners to simply move in and make it home.
The location completes the picture. Domain Road places open green space, rugby club and tennis courts close at hand, while local schools, shops, cafés and bus transport are all within easy walking or cycling distance.
A home with history, heart and room to live, on a fabulous quarter-acre section, in an exceptionally handy location.
