Rewarding renovation

Make this large renovated house a home with its comfortable rooms, intricate period detailing and bay views.

On a premier street close to the main swimming beach, botanic gardens, transport, parks, and Nelson Place eateries you won’t have to go far to enjoy the perks of the area.

Free-standing on all boundaries, the house is introduced by a wide verandah and decked porch. The entrance hall has polished floorboards and ornate decorative ceiling — a taste of what’s to come. A leadlight bay window, open fireplace with wooden mantel and ceiling rosettes and cornices are period highlights of the lounge room.

White french doors open to an open-plan family-meals area with a fireplace with gas heater and a breakfast bar in the kitchen. Timber cabinetry, ample storage space including a corner pantry, microwave and fridge nooks, and a dishwasher are kitchen conveniences.

Two of the three bedrooms, one with pale yellow walls, built-in wardrobes and leadlight window, are on the ground floor. The main with fitted walk-in wardrobe and ensuite with mosaic grey tiles, large frameless shower and square basin atop a wooden vanity sits at the back and has access to the rear garden. The main bathroom has a shower over bath and decorative tiling.

Carpeted stairs lead to a spacious retreat or rumpus room with pitched roof and plenty of windows to let the sun in and from which to enjoy the bay views.

Two balconies offer a greater vantage point, one looking out over the water and the other over the backyard. Heritage overlays means views to the bay won’t be compromised.

Also upstairs is the third bedroom or study with slanting roof, and the powder room.

The outdoor verandah with deck is the perfect spot to sit with a coffee or glass of wine while admiring the easy-to-maintain garden with patch of lawn, garden beds and lemon tree.

For convenience there is a gardener’s shed including a toilet, and outside laundry facilities with a touch of luxury in the form of a sauna with concrete floor. There is a carport for one car.

With a full renovation done including roofing and gutters, this property is ready to enjoy.
