Roses, grass trees, and lawn set the home back from the street and draw the eye to the front porch. Heritage shades of cream and green give the façade authentic appeal and anchor the home comfortably on the large level block. The lounge with beautiful floorboards and a painted brick fireplace fitted with a slow-combustion fire. A palette of soft grey and white and dual-aspect glazing ensure this room is a luminous haven; a ceiling fan and gas bayonet add to its year-round appeal and amenity.
Adjoining the lounge is a modern kitchen with room for a small table. Cabinets are a contemporary navy blue contrast beautifully with white benchtops and a tiled splashback. A minimalist chandelier and a stainless-steel dishwasher bring contemporary style and convenience, while the oven and gas cooktop sit surrounded by the original hearth, now updated with a white tiled splashback. A renovated laundry sits off the kitchen.
All three bedrooms feature soft grey carpets underfoot; two are fitted with ceiling fans. Finished with the same neutral palette used across the main living areas, these rooms offer a flexible background for individual tastes. The bedrooms share an updated family bathroom with an over-tub shower and vanity.
Across the rear of the home is a good-sized verandah with views out to the fully fenced backyard and room for a table and chairs and a barbecue. Tall shade trees paint the backyard with dappled light and create a fabulous space for a game of cricket, kick-to-kick or lounging with a good book. At the far corner sits a powered workshop with a lean-to.
