When west is best, make it a timeless bluestone villa with big things to come

When the inner west is calling, answer it with a C1890 villa boasting a prized north-facing rear orientation on its corner plot. The rusted-on charm we've come to expect from this sought-after suburb, a surprise second level and the possibility of a rear addition make this purchase even more desirable.<br/><br/>A bluestone facade sets the tone for this solar-powered home that's proud of its original polished timber floorboards, lofty ceilings, ornate fireplaces and spacious main rooms on its light-drenched lower floor. <br/><br/>Don't need five bedrooms? Would rather multiple living zones and/or a space dedicated to your home-run business? That upper level - featuring two bedrooms of its own - ensures the ground floor is even more flexible than first inspections may suggest. <br/><br/>With its own ensuite, the master bedroom is easy to distinguish in a floorplan that reveals open-plan living at its rear, lapping up that northern light and casting a big view of the alfresco patio and large backyard beyond. <br/><br/>Featuring a gas cooktop, dishwasher and ample storage, the kitchen epitomises the home's supreme functionality, without begging for attention. That's not to say you can't make a statement here…<br/><br/>It only seems fitting that old and new should collide, striking bold contrast between the timeless home that stands today and a potential addition. Food for thought. <br/><br/>And speaking of food, the abundance of established fruit trees in the rear garden including sought after jujube, blood orange, pomegranate and quandong. You'll also find staples such as orange, lemon, peach, plum, apricot and several grape vines. <br/><br/>For now, just enjoy the perks of living less than a 12-minute drive from both the CBD and our beautiful metro beaches.
