A home that endears from its colourful cottage landscape to its retro caravan 'cubby' and versatile backyard rumpus room, there are far more benefits to this loved and extended villa than its gracious bluestone fa?ade lets on.
Beyond the period attributes of ornate fretwork, high ceilings, sash windows, and decorative fireplaces, this symmetrical villa holds invaluable flexibility to juggle up to five bedrooms within its elongated footprint.
For the young family, those with passion project plans, or with a love for entertaining, the answer is here in a quiet, character pocket adjacent to Langman Reserve - and with a lifetime of memories behind them, the gardens are the soul to this unique and light-filled home.
Architecturally adapted in its later years, where the arched hallway ends, spacious living, dining and entertaining erupts in crisp white, open plan style with a picture window lens to sunbathed alfresco decking and the villa's lush garden legacy.
Floor-length panes, piercing daylight and the utmost privacy fill the sparkling minimalist bathroom promising a plunge with a view no one will expect; the rear master bedroom gaining its own glazed garden exit, retreats to walk-in robes and an ensuite-in-waiting, courtesy of the adjoining laundry.
You'll cook in view of a crowd from the social kitchen with a central skylight, island, and dining room servery ? and with eyes for the gardens from this sunny, parquet-floored point of view, it's here that villa dream can truly bloom?
Renovate or carry on remodelling, watch the kids take over the cubby with its divan seating and inbuilt icebox, or rework the timber-clad rumpus room geared for carpentry, workouts, or for sleepovers.
Location perks simply come with this coveted city-fringe postcode: lunch at Bloom, bike rides to the CBD or the beach via Linear Park, Brickworks Marketplace shopping, and a radius offering The Entertainment Centre and Coopers Stadium in walking reach.
A villa to adore for life. Pool your plans into a bluestone classic with a twist.
