Solid Brick Stone Fronted Home on Commanding Corner Allotment

They simply don't build homes like this any more. Craftsman built in 1970, this solid brick very well maintained one owner home is a credit to its owners and it has stood the test of time exceptionally well. Situated on a slightly elevated corner allotment of approximately 730 sqm, the home with its attractive front porch and neat landscaped gardens commands the attention of anyone seeking a solid foundation for their future with its attractive wide Basket Range sandstone frontage and Marseilles Terra Cotta tiled roof making a real impression from the street. <br/><br/>With the bonus of a sizeable ensuite bathroom (especially rare for a home of this vintage), the home has a lovely retro feel which of course could be either tastefully modernised and renovated or perhaps some may consider restoring to maintain this charming heritage. With such a solid foundation to build upon along with its great position, the home could be a terrific candidate for an upstairs extension which being in the foothills and several hundred metres above sea level would provide views to the gulf. Other features include a large gas heated and reverse cycle air conditioned lounge, a formal dining room adjacent to the gas equipped kitchen with Miele dishwasher and a walk in pantry, three good sized bedrooms with the master and bedroom 2 being doubles and both with large built in robes. Plus of course there is the oversized ensuite bathroom to the master, along with its own split system A/C.<br/><br/>The home was ahead of its time in a number of ways and obviously a top end construction in its era. Boasting aluminium windows, solid steel security doors and a feeling of real solidity rarely seen in homes these days (as materials costs would make it prohibitive to build), one gets the impression there are many years of life left in this home just awaiting the right family.<br/><br/>With landscaped and irrigated front and side gardens and an easily maintained rear garden, plus a verandah in a wind sheltered spot that is ideal for outdoor entertaining, you can enjoy your leisure time when living here. There is also a good sized garden shed which is always handy for storage and tinkering and several rainwater tanks. The fully lockable garage has room out front for at least another vehicle, with the ability to easily make an extra driveway park alongside for a car, trailer etc which is a real convenience.
