Behind this white fence lies the jewel in the crown of Avondale Av. This home is in flood free area, and walking distance to shops, University, sporting fields, schools, hospitals and the CBD.
This generously proportioned north facing gem sits amid pretty gardens on a 689m2 block. There are three large bedrooms and a huge wrap around verandah that could easily accomodate a home office, childrens' play area, daybed and second lounge area. The entrance verandah has plantation shutters, is flanked by elegant wall sconces and features the first of 19 gorgeous stained glass doors and windows. There are polished timber floors throughout and as you step into the foyer your eyes are drawn to the original timber fretwork and high ceilings. The lounge room is a dream with its ornate plaster ceiling, french doors and grand dual fireplace, which opens on the other side to the spacious dining room. Beyond this the recently renovated kitchen features encaustic floor tiles, cesar stone bench tops, ceramic butlers sink and all timber cupboards. The bathroom is a relaxing haven with freestanding bath, separate shower, 1.8 m high white subway tiles on all walls and pressed metal panel doors on the storage cupboard. There is a second toilet in the laundry next door. Lighting throughout has been meticulously sourced to compliment the quality craftsmanship typical of the era of the home's construction. The master bedroom has reverse cycle AC, ceiling fan and French doors that open onto the front verandah. The other two bedrooms are both big enough to accomodate queen size beds plus furniture, or alternatively two single beds each. The third bedroom has large double glass doors that open onto the back deck. Perfect for alfresco dining and big family gatherings, the deck is all under cover and surrounded by pretty greenery. Fig, olive and citrus trees adorn the backyard and veggie and herb gardens sit just a few steps from the kitchen door. An undercover walkway leads to carport, artists' studio and garden shed. The whole property is enclosed by 1.8m high lockable privacy fence. Houses of this caliber in this area are tightly held and rarely stay long on the market.
The home has insulation in all ceiling spaces and external walls, has been re wired, re plumbed and re plastered between 2009 and 2011. There are 1.5kw solar panels and there is a Rainwater tank.
