Situated at the end of a cul-de-sac in one of Bellingen's quietest streets this two storey home provides a perfectly peaceful retreat for your everyday family living. Whether you are looking for a tree-change from the city or are already familiar with the tranquillity of the Bellingen town and its surroundings, this home provides everything you need for a relaxing way of life.
Enter through the antique hardwood front door and immediately feel the sense of space. Enjoy your indoor-outdoor living with the open plan kitchen/lounge/dining area that leads onto a tiled and covered outdoor veranda, and the large leafy backyard. Four generously sized bedrooms will house your whole family or provide spare rooms and WFH office spaces. Large windows and high ceilings (including a raked ceiling in the lounge area) provide a sense of space, and natural light pervades throughout.
Up the handmade wooden stairs you'll find the master bedroom with its large robe, separate built-in cupboard and adjacent bathroom plus another bedroom. The other two bedrooms are downstairs at the front of the house. All bedrooms and the living room have large built-in robes for your storage needs, as does the separate laundry. There's even a hidden under-stairs storage area, ideal for those items you don't access often, or fun for children's hide-and-seek and Harry Potter games!
The kitchen is designed for ease of preparing and cooking food. A huge built-in pantry as well as the usual under the bench cupboards and space for a large fridge mean you'll never run out of space to keep things. There's a near new Bosch 5-burner gas stovetop, an electric oven underneath and a large stone benchtop/breakfast bar with plumbed-in dishwasher space and built-in cupboards below.
There's one bathroom downstairs with a bath, sink and separate shower cubicle and a second upstairs adjacent to the master bedroom, with a shower cubicle, sink and toilet. The downstairs toilet is separate to the bathroom. There's a laundry room downstairs with a sink and ample space for a washer and dryer, and its own external door for easy access to the washing line in the back yard.
Benefit from this home's elevated placement on top of a hill - enjoy the views and feel those cooling breezes from the sea or the south in the heat of summer. There's air-conditioning in the main living area if you need more temperature control, but you'll find you don't use it much given the environmentally-friendly BASIX standards under which the house was built. The concrete slab on which it sits acts as a heat sink, staying cooler in summer, and retaining warmth in winter. There are also gas batons for heaters if you need them.
This home has strong environmental credibility. A Solar Panel Array was installed in late 2022 to minimise electricity bills and provide sustainability. (Note that the 15 x 415W panels have a 25 year warranty, and the 5kW inverter has 10 years warranty). A 5000 litre water tank stores and feeds rainwater to the laundry and toilets.
Google will tell you it's just 1.4km or a leisurely 20 minute stroll to Bellingen's main street (Hyde St), but their route doesn't include the shortcut that locals know about! Otherwise a drive there will take you just 3 minutes, and dropping the kids off at the local High School will add just one minute to the journey.
The 770m2 (approx.) pretty flat block boasts a secluded and private back garden with a rock pond and established trees, perfect for children and nature-lovers alike.
There's a single garage with remote-operated roller door and a door to the interior of the house. The concrete driveway has room for 2 more off-street parking spaces.
There's no surprises with this home - it's fully Council-approved, and being still young in building years (it was finished in 2012) it needs no work. The exterior's hardiplank cladding and colourbond roof are durable and long-lasting, with minimal long term maintenance costs. It's currently vacant so you'll be able to move in whenever you have settled - no lengthy and complicated property sell/buy chains to delay your move.
