This magnificent 180m² character home certainly catches the eye as you drive along Hewlings Street. Sitting proudly in an elevated position, it is well known for its generous bay window and beautiful gardens, which have even been opened to the public in years gone by. A traditional cottage garden with a little extra flair completes the setting and adds to the property's appeal.
Currently undergoing subdivision, the property will be left with approximately 1,011m² of land – still a generous section offering plenty of space to enjoy, garden and relax. The rear section is separate and is not included in this sale.
The home is currently configured to accommodate Airbnb guests, with the front verandah room offering separate access, its own bathroom, private lounge and a separate breakfast room. This provides an opportunity for additional income or could easily be incorporated back into the main home. The private living quarters offer open-plan kitchen, dining and living, while the two additional bedrooms are positioned at the opposite end of the home, providing good separation. There is also a separate laundry area which has been converted to include a second bathroom while retaining the laundry facilities.
The home has enjoyed regular maintenance over the years, including a recent exterior paint. Practical features include full insulation top and bottom, gas hot water, solar power and some rewiring completed in 2021. The logburner and heat pump were both updated in 2020, while an electric awning over the bay window adds another handy touch.
Geraldine's boutique shops, cafés, supermarket and local schools are all within easy reach, along with Geraldine Domain and the walking tracks through Talbot Forest. It is a lovely balance of town convenience and garden tranquillity.
