Some homes are bought and sold. Others are lived in — properly lived in — and this is one of those. Held with pride by the one family since day one, this classic three-bedroom residence on a generous 604sqm allotment is the kind of place where birthdays were celebrated, school lunches were packed at the breakfast bar, and Sunday roasts filled the house with something worth coming home to. It shows in every corner. The gleaming timber floorboards. The warm brick feature wall extends into a timber-framed mantel below, a charming focal point in the living room. The leadlight door glows beautifully when the afternoon sun hits it. Sheer curtains frame wide picture windows in the formal living room, keeping it bright and calm, while ducted heating and electric roller shutters keep the whole home comfortable and secure right through the seasons. The kitchen is the heart of it — crisp white cabinetry, stone-look benchtops, a soft mint glass splashback, quality gas cooking and a breakfast bar made for hurried mornings and long conversations. It opens to a sunny meals area overlooking the garden, the sort of spot where a cuppa turns into an hour. Three well-proportioned bedrooms are carpeted and comfortable, each fitted with built-in mirrored robes for effortless storage.
