Bland and boring? Unheard of!

Beyond charming, this character home is all about individuality - and shouldn’t we all be, really? If you’ve got a large family, you’ll be pleased to discover that along with loads of whimsy, this 1950s delight also offers 6 (yes, SIX!) bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and a huge block size of 984sqm, making it ideal for a brood that appreciates everyday life with a side of vintage style. Classic features underpin everything, from the pretty ceiling roses and ornate cornices in the lounge room to the vibrant stained glass window in the stairway to the timeless hardwood floorboards throughout. A beautiful soft palette enhances it all, with internal French doors adding a little je ne sais quoi. The floorplan lets you get creative with décor and function, with options to convert a bedroom into a studio or home office if you wish. Upstairs is a special sanctuary complete with an ensuite and a mezzanine dressing room which again could be a reading nook or other whimsical space. Meanwhile, it’s not just the home itself that will entrance you. Both the front and back yards are lush and lovely, with lawns and sweet gardens making for serene surroundings. Sit and be captivated by the vibrant butterflies and lively birds that visit; the tiled alfresco area to the rear is a particularly wonderful spot for morning coffees, long lunches, and catch ups with friends over a wine or two. Or take some solo time to forget the world, stop and smell the flowers, and pick delicious fruit from your trees. And did we mention it sits on a FULL 984sqm block zoned R25 with wide side access? *happy dance*
