Roaring Twenties Classic
- CIRCA 1924, ALMOST 100 YEARS
- BORNE OUT OF NEW FOUND FREEDOMS
- A RARE OPPORTUNITY
- 387SQM LAND
Circa 1924 with a Federation leaning, albeit with nuances of California Bungalow, this period home encapsulates the engulfing arts and crafts movement of the roaring twenties, when the Charleston prevailed and new freedoms were won.
Anchoring a white picket fence, an Arbor connects garden to home with inimitable style, and like an outstretched hand offers a cordial welcome!
A tiled path leads to a shady, purposeful porch and behind a sturdy front door awaits a wide hallway that is a tributary to an offshoot of rooms that follow, while arches and ceiling roses quietly recount history.
The sitting room takes pride of place at the front of this home, steeped in yesteryear with its elaborate modillion cornice, ornate fireplace and picture rails, and this is where occasions likely transpired in bygone times, as they will again!
Substantial, the Master bedroom is next off the hall with picture rails atop a primary colour, accentuating an already tall ceiling with a dangling pendant to adorn.
Further along in the middle room, an ornate fireplace sits neatly within its timber mantle, and a large window and decorative bookcase juxtapose to create a thoughtful space, or configure for modernity.
Centred, an exquisite bathroom with tessellated tiles, claw foot bath, open shower and double vanity pay tribute to period, and there is the convenience of a powder room nearby.
Jarrah and Marri give shape to an earthy kitchen with retro Smeg and Falcon appliances, reminiscent of their day, and floor to ceiling windows bathe living or dining in natural light, and this room ends with French doors that open to a grassy backyard!
Outside, an outbuilding with deck and bullnose veranda fit the bill for alfresco living, whilst inside, drinks are served from a bar with timeless pressed tin walls, if only they could talk! And the remnants of history remain with a copper and functioning outhouse.
The outbuilding also houses a laundry, separate storage with ROW access and there is ROW access that will permit a vehicle to the backyard if necessary.
Do not miss this rare opportunity to purchase a piece of History that will only become more valuable over time!
