This Edwardian era home is dripping with history and is a rare opportunity to purchase a period property within walking distance to the CBD and other popular amenities.
Built in 1925, the solid brick home has had less than a handful of owners in its lifetime and still flaunts the eye-catching features of its past - open oval-shaped fireplace, bay windows, decorative ceiling cornice, French doors, timber fretwork, Murray pine floors and an entrance hall lit by an ornate Federation-style chandelier.
You'll also be impressed by the street view, with a double gable façade bordering the impressive and spacious slate-lined front porch and the timber-framed sash windows of the formal lounge and master bedroom along with the mix of red brick and timber work.
The front double doors open to the impressive formal entry, and French doors to the left lead to the lounge, while the three bedrooms are to the right, the master featuring a split system AC, bay windows and built-in robe.
The galley-style kitchen with dishwasher, island bench and gas cooktop stove flows to what could be either a dining room or family room at the rear of the house, while the two bathrooms have been updated by the current owner.
There is ample room to move on the quarter-acre block, which features leafy cottage-style gardens with citrus trees, lush lawns, double carport with an adjoining home office or sleepout with AC, solid brick outbuildings with a toilet, an inviting rear patio area paved with hand-made bricks salvaged from the old Riverina Brewery, and inground sprinkler systems.
There is so much to love about this property, including the A1 location within walking distance to the bowling club and golf course, RSL Club, state forest and CBD.
The home would ideally suit a growing family with trade skills or a DIY couple looking for a project to build on who could embrace the elegance and intrigue of the property's past but add their own modern touch.
