8 Shelley Street, Cambridge, Waipa

Rustic charm

Full of rustic charm and character, there's nothing cookie-cutter about this lovely Leamington villa. Built circa 1910, the home has vintage charisma, modern persuasion and plenty of wriggle room for value-added improvements. Sun-washed bedrooms, an open-plan granite kitchen, 12 solar panels, HRV, gas infinity hot water and heat pumps make the interior very liveable. Retro glam is manifest through high-stud ceilings, ornamental and functioning wood fires, french doors and lustrous timber flooring. The entertainer's kitchen, which boasts a new range-hood, insinkerator and dishwasher, has a wine rack and plumbed-in refrigeration space. The home lends itself to seamless indoor-outdoor living. A covered alfresco attracts effusive morning sunshine, two of the three double bedrooms open onto a deck, and afternoon sun makes the deck off the dining area ideal for early evening drinks and barbecues. The laundry has a second toilet and the ensuite offers the luxury of a spa bath, shower and vanity. A private fenced garden and elevated views accentuate the appeal of this villa which sits on a peaceful 677sqm (more or less) section with a powered garden shed, double carport and abundant parking. It is ready to be lived in and transported to its next phase of life. The property's locale places it close to schools, shops and recreation, and a short distance from town central.
