TITIMELESS CHARACTER, IMMACULATE PRESENTATION

This supremely presented abode captures the very essence of a bygone era of character and imposing quality. With a superbly preserved ‘Cottage’ vibe and the subtle integration of modern functionality in all the right areas, this property is a ‘must see’ for all first home/next home buyers, retirees or those who simply appreciate value in this premium city location.

First impression is one of quality at every turn, an abode that demonstrates sublime yesteryear craftmanship with attention to detail and finish. Highlighting the earthy tones and warmth from the native timber, our owners have meticulously maintained and enhanced this property thoughtfully and intentionally over many years. A style repeated in the dedicated kitchen annexed to the living areas, servicing an immediate dining quarter, further extending to the lounge. A practical gathering space that capitalises on the northerly aspect, being bathed in sunlight and warmth that opens up to deck and picturesque outdoor setting for any larger social event with family, friends and guests.
Double bedrooms and large ‘Jack & Jill’ bathroom, sharing with the Master. Clawfoot bath, oversize glass shower enclosure, w.c and pedestal basin. In addition, a separate w.c plus a loft retreat, media room or additional bedroom, offering options that further support the true capacity of this home.

Heating is by way of all day sun, a heat pump, log burner and ventilation system. Partial double glazing plus insulated ceiling, floor (including vapour barrier) and sections of exterior walls. Separate laundry. Extensive off-road parking, large single garage and carport.

Fenced boundaries and perimeter planting providing shelter and security. Manicured lawns and chiselled garden plots that provide colour, vegetables and fruit. Proximity to Beckenham shops, restaurants, bars, cafes and supermarket. St Martins and Sydenham specialty shops and supermarket, plus Cashmere shops at the base of the hill. Medical centre, Pioneer Stadium, reserves, parks and recreation areas with access to public transport at your doorstep. Zoned schools including Cashmere High.

A unique proposition in anyone’s books, with interest sure to be high. I cannot express what a rare opportunity this is. Seriously – you snooze, you lose... Please call for further information and/or a time to view at your earliest convenience.
