Some homes are defined by their size. Others by their character. 62 Blake Street has both along with a personality entirely its own.
From the classic veranda frontage to the beautiful timber detailing within, this is a home that reveals itself gradually. Step through the front door and the proportions immediately make an impression: high ceilings, a long central hallway, a decorative timber archway and generous rooms create a sense of space rarely replicated in newer homes.
At its heart is a striking contemporary kitchen, where dark cabinetry, generous bench space and a central island make a confident statement. It connects naturally with the dining and living area, creating a substantial everyday hub with plenty of room to gather, entertain or simply spread out. A multi-fuel fire, 2 heat pumps and a good level of insulation provide options for keeping things comfortable through the seasons.
Beyond the main living area, another generous room adds even more flexibility. This is a house that gives you the space and lets you decide what to do with it.
Accommodation is equally impressive, with three double bedrooms, including two with built in wardrobes. The scale continues into the modernised bathroom, complete with bath, large tiled shower and vanity, while a separate second toilet adds everyday practicality. A dedicated laundry at the rear of the home provides even more of the storage and functionality that larger households appreciate.
But the story doesn't end at the back door.
The established grounds have been developed over time rather than simply landscaped for sale. Mature gardens, fruit trees and a glasshouse create a setting with colour, productivity and plenty for a keen gardener to enjoy. There is a garden shed, woodshed and additional storage, while the garage has been altered to provide further usable space, with a rear hobby room — ideal for projects, creative pursuits or simply somewhere to escape to.
A DIFFERENT APPROACH TO OWNERSHIP
62 Blake Street is offered on a leasehold title, providing an alternative opportunity to secure a home of this scale, character and versatility.
The current ground rent is $3,960 per annum (nil GST) with the next rent review due 2028. The perpetually renewable lease runs for a term of 21 years with the next lease renewal being 2042.
Looking ahead, the property also offers a pathway to freehold ownership, with the opportunity to purchase the land through Council’s freeholding process.
Distinctive, substantial and refreshingly different, 62 Blake Street offers character without sacrificing space, modern touches without erasing its history, and possibilities well beyond the expected.
For the buyer looking for something with a little more presence — this deserves to be seen.
