Gracious Proportions, Grand Possibilities

Superbly located on approximately 1,200 square metres of prime land in the leafy, inner south-east, this substantial Gentleman’s Bungalow has been graciously mellowing for almost a century. After decades in the same family, a generational opportunity now exists for you to acquire this enchanting home and write its next exciting chapter. <br/><br/>Set amidst quality homes on a tree-lined avenue, a commanding 18.29 metre (60 foot) frontage and lovingly-planted garden provide a hint of the treasure that lies within. A paved driveway entices you to the generous, north-facing return verandah, the perfect spot for a morning coffee or afternoon read. The classic red brick and freestone facade give this home timeless appeal, however the magic really happens when you open the front door. <br/><br/>Original features abound – high, ornate ceilings, timber wall panelling, wide skirting boards and a fretwork hall arch make a grand welcoming statement. From the entrance, double doors open to a sitting room with all the charm of a bygone era. The formal dining room is separate - a most impressive space with a stunning decorative ceiling, original fireplace (with heater) and the room to entertain in style. It is conveniently positioned alongside a kitchen which awaits your 2020s makeover, but can easily accommodate a meals area and includes a walk-in pantry. <br/><br/>A further highlight is the master bedroom, offering generous proportions, pleasant garden views, a richly toned hardwood floor and another original fireplace. The home was previously extended and now offers a total of four bedrooms plus a sleepout, although one of these rooms is currently utilised as an informal lounge, giving the home three living areas. The extension was designed to blend with the original part of the home, incorporating high ceilings, a pitched-roof and period features. <br/><br/>Ducted reverse cycle air conditioning features throughout, there is a security system for added peace of mind and the carport leads through to a garage / workshop. Of course, with almost 1,200 square metres of land there is an enormous back garden providing plenty of scope for re-landscaping, or, subject to council consent, possible further extension of the home or the inclusion of a swimming pool.<br/><br/>Registered Land Agent (RLA) 266 854.<br/><br/>Copies of the auction contract, Form 1 (vendor's statement) and conditions of sale will be available for viewing:<br/><br/>(1) At our office at 224 Main North Road Prospect, for three business days leading up to the auction; and<br/><br/>(2) At the auction venue, for 30 minutes prior to the auction commencing.
