Country Log Cabin Vibes

Evoking the rustic charm of a country chalet-style retreat, this unique 1980s build is known for its distinctive gabled roof construction. Magnificent cathedral-style ceilings, timber trussing, exposed red clay masonry, and subtle odes to retro style are desirable aesthetics with boundless potential. Slate charcoal tiles, tongue & groove timber paneling, and seamless interaction with the outdoors meld with effortless family living in a whisper-quiet location.<br/><br/>An inviting entry nook clad in warm timber paneling reveals glimpses of more raw woodwork and moody, gothic-like interiors beyond. Exposed recycled brick interiors against solid black slate are a continuous theme throughout the ground floor.<br/><br/>Surrounded by double-aspect casement-style French doors, the open plan living and dining are offset by spectacular vaulted ceilings, a grand wood fireplace, and a retro-style timber staircase (leading to a mezzanine floor above) which beckon relaxed, holiday-home vibes akin to living on a semi-rural lot in the scenic Southwest.<br/><br/>This central hub is bolstered by tranquil courtyards and gardens on either side, lush with a landscape of agapanthus and green turf, allowing breezes to flow freely, cooling the room in the summer, and offering a connection to nature in cozy comfort around the seasons.<br/><br/>Nearby, a classic country-style kitchen, clad in timber paneled ceilings, loads of cabinetry, and views to a walled garden of verdant geraniums, is surrounded by casement-style windows and matching doors which provide reams of natural light and access to more courtyard and garden enclosures. <br/><br/>Extending from the kitchen, the laundry leads to an outdoor drying court, providing a spacious option for extra storage and separate rear garden access.<br/><br/>Completing this floor, a discreet bedroom or study option with independent rear courtyard access includes a huge walk-in robe and proximity to a large bathroom/powder room.<br/><br/>Central to the floorplan, a classic timber, Mid-century-inspired spiral staircase leads to a mezzanine floor above and an open landing extending to the remaining two bedrooms.<br/><br/>Fitted with built-in timber shelving and intended as a lounge, library, or playroom, the mezzanine enjoys views over the living room below and treetops beyond.<br/><br/>The remaining two bedrooms, joined by a vast bathroom, brightly lit from a huge skylight, include charming rattan-insert built-in robes, ceiling fans, and large set windows framing garden views.<br/><br/>Other features include split-system air-conditioning units in all bedrooms and the living room, block-out blinds, a gas bayonet (living room), reticulated gardens, and loads of on-site parking from the front entrance and via Sibald Lane, which bolsters the allotment.<br/><br/>Located on a short, low-traffic street, this delightful, family home is mere steps from Iona Presentation College, along with the river foreshore, community parks, and loads of cafes and specialty shops just minutes away.<br/>Sibald Lane on the northern aspect provides beneficial dual corner access for parking and an additional entranceway to the property. <br/><br/>Features:<br/>- Rustic country-chalet-style gabled roof design (circa 1980s)<br/>- Very short, low-traffic street<br/>- Charcoal-hued slate floors (ground)<br/>- ROW access to the property for additional parking<br/>- Exposed recycled clay brick & timber interior aesthetic throughout<br/>- Vaulted high ceilings & exposed timber beams<br/>- Open plan living & dining, double aspect French doors, open fireplace, vaulted ceilings, ceiling fan<br/>- Country-style kitchen, tongue & groove timber ceiling, wall oven & 4-burner electric stove, dual door access to front & rear courtyards/gardens<br/>- Adjoining, spacious laundry & drying court/garden access<br/>- Retro-style timber staircase to mezzanine<br/>- Private ground floor bedroom/study, ensuite bathroom & walk-in robe; courtyard access & independent entry via rear garden<br/>- Charming timber casement windows throughout<br/>- Block out blinds<br/>- Gas bayonet (living room)<br/>- Split system air-conditioners (living room & all bedrooms)<br/>- Built-in robes & ceiling fans in secondary bedrooms (cupboards with vintage-style rattan inserts)<br/>- Mezzanine-level lounge, playroom, or library option; built-in retro-style shelving<br/>- Enclosed front & rear courtyard gardens<br/>- Ample onsite parking from front & via Sibald Lane with gate access to rear garden<br/><br/>Location:<br/>- 190m to Iona Presentation College <br/>- 350m to Wright Park 350m<br/>- 650m to Mosman Park Shopping Centre (Coles Local Mosman Park) <br/>- 650m to St Hilda's Anglican School for Girls <br/>- 700m to River foreshore & Jade Dodd Park <br/>- 700m to Samson's Paddock & Glyde Street café & dining scene <br/><br/><br/>*Auction 12pm Saturday 14th September 2024 on-site (unless sold prior)*<br/><br/>Bidding Terms:<br/>Deposit: $100,000 payable on the fall of the hammer<br/>Settlement: 30 or 60 days from acceptance of contract.<br/><br/>Please contact Deborah Brady on 0405 570 903 for further information.
