Description
It has that ‘Country Feeling’
One of Coromandel Valley’s historic homes is For Sale.
A 1930’s Bungalow – beautifully presented in every respect, and a perfect match for its environment. Come and live in an idyllic garden setting looking across the Sturt River to the linear park. The way this stunning residence lives on its 1152sqm of land is inspiring and truly embodies the lifestyle that comes with living in the Valley.
Behind insulated steel fencing, the home and land feel like your very own Sanctuary. The entire garden setting around the home has been completely renovated – it is a big job giving a garden the overhaul, and here all the hard work has been done! Native plantings especially chosen for their spot are beginning to thrive in their natural habitat – think of moving in and watching it all come to life. What a joy!
Imagine weekends at home. Walk the amazing Linear Park trails to the Sturt Gorge Recreation Reserve, or how about stroll to the local butcher for the barbeque, the Bake bakery, and the famous Duck Inn. Weymouth Sporting Complex and oval reserve, Guardian Childcare and Coromandel Valley Primary School are all so convenient.
Driveway access is easy with excellent off-street parking and turn around space. There is a freestanding garage with a roller door that opens to the backyard, and a gated nook for a trailer in the services yard.
Under the gabled front porch – an ornate steel screen and solid timber door, rendered masonry walls and sash windows combine to create a welcoming farmhouse feeling. And when the front door opens, clean white walls, high ceilings and Baltic Pine timber floors of the entry hall lure you inside. It is fresh and vibrant and very calming.
The floorplan has an effortless flow throughout the entire home. Large rooms are practical and versatile at the same time – every room feels a like a new place to be.
- In the main living area, cedar framed windows bring in abundant natural light and look out across the Sturt River to the Linear Park – it is really quite special, a connection with the environment that is with you all the time and will change with the seasons. A gas-flamed fire is flued through a masonry chimney, but with a brand-new state-of-the-art air conditioning system throughout, picture sitting in front of a wood-fired combustion heater.
- The kitchen is a big room, and the adjacent dining room too! The country-style kitchen looks out to the backyard setting – it functions well with modern appliances, good storage, and has a bench with granite tops. And as the owners say, down the track – the space will accommodate a dream kitchen design. Or just love it as it is. The family dining room is perfect for everyday and will come in to its own when dining for that special occasion.
- Complementing the kitchen and dining is a separate sunroom. Walls of window bring in the winter sun and a borrowed landscape that is secluded and private. There are so many uses – it is the perfect home gym or creative studio.
- Off the entrance hall, the original lounge room with its fireplace is used as a peaceful guest room.
- The main bedroom wing is tucked away from the living areas – all bedrooms are different from one-another, they have their own comfortable feeling, and the size of each room invites different uses as need be. New pure wool carpets, ceiling fans, and clean white décor add a modern ambience to this classic home.
- The main bedroom especially, is very private at the back of the home. It is accompanied by a large bathroom, excellent storage and access out to the backyard verandah. Sleeping-in on a Sunday will be an absolute treat! It has that country bed & breakfast vibe. It’s bliss!
- The main bathroom filled with natural light, has a claw foot bath, a large shower alcove and upgraded fixtures and fittings. The laundry too, is a long utility-mud room with a door out to the services yard. All the wet-areas present beautifully.
Outside, a huge verandah under-main-roof spans just about the length of the home. With its hardwood timber decking, wall lights and painted timber balustrade – it provides a perfect indoor-outdoor connection, you just want to be out here! The garden setting and Sturt River environment is simply glorious. Imagine weekends at home.
The landscaped gardens are a very special part of this home. Picture them in a few years! The whole 1152sqm allotment is a native habitat of wandering paths and gardens – they pay a complement to and go hand-hand with the Sturt River environment. The rolling green lawn is cooling contrast and invites a Springtime picnic, or a European style outdoors dining setting when entertaining family and friends.
Most of this home in its detail has been renewed. There is also a 6.6kw solar system and Tesla Powerwall battery storage. New electric heat-pump hot water, a new energy efficient air-conditioning system, and new automatic irrigation.
Make this Wonderful Home and Land and Lifestyle … Especially Yours!
