Testament to timeless elegance - motivated vendor

Gracefully poised across from the Heathcote River rests this single-storey villa, serving as a testament to the timeless elegance of early 1900s architecture. Embraced by a customary veranda and weatherboard cladding, the 152sqm (approx.) design also enjoys the traditional grandeur of high ceilings and ornate trimmings. Of the three double bedrooms, two incorporate built-in storage and heat pumps, while the sympathetically enhanced bathroom reflects the home's era. The classically formed layout exudes functionality, hosting a distinctively styled kitchen that eases beyond to a laundry. The open-plan lounge and dining room is aesthetically unique, offering timber floors, a striking navy ceiling, expansive windows, a third heat pump and enough space for a casual study. The detached rumpus is an exceptional advantage for families and is an ideal retreat for teens, but it could also accommodate a home office, art studio or workout space. Perfectly shielded from public gaze by established grounds and full fencing, this elevated freehold site is a genuine sanctuary, featuring an alfresco spa and sauna for ultimate relaxation amongst the mature trees in the verdant, terraced garden. The front deck is the perfect entertainer's environment, with its partial shelter and generosity of space, with room for lounging, dining, and simply taking in your surroundings. A standalone double garage provides secure parking within the sizeable 886sqm (more or less) section. This picturesque pocket of the city offers proximity to diverse educational options including St Anne's Catholic School and Rudolf Steiner School. You are also positioned within a two-minute drive to The Tannery and Opawa shops. Surrounded by parks, playgrounds, and the nearby cycle way, ensures you can spend your downtime immersed in nature. Family-focused properties rich with character are always desirable and with our vendors having already secured their next venture, buyers are recommended to proceed quickly.
