Location, Position, Huge Garage + Workshop and a Truly Beautiful Setting.
26 Edward Street offers the marketplace a fascinating opportunity to takeover and complete a wonderful home-improvement project. The extensions are complete and ready for their finishing touches - much of the required fixtures and fittings are included and ready to GO! Move in and get to work or take your time and complement with your own style-aesthetic to create that forever home.
Built in 1950, the original home is a character Mitcham Hills timber-frame dwelling set on a beautiful 1,064sqm allotment in the heart of Blackwood. Its position is both convenient and peaceful, while the unexpected backyard aspect offers gentle elevation, a sheltered north-facing outlook to the environment and even a sneaky glimpse of the sea. It will surprise.
This superb allotment and the home's ideal position created the perfect opportunity to retain and celebrate its history while introducing substantial extensions and a modern, highly functional floorplan. Inside, the vision is to blend old and new through the skilful use of recycled materials, creating a home with a unique sense of style that feels relaxed, rustic, lived-in and practical. Once complete - it will offer four bedrooms, two bathrooms and three impressive living zones - a versatile layout designed to appeal to everyone from couples to growing families.
Move in, relax and take your time. The original home already offers three double bedrooms, a large, combined bathroom and laundry, and an open-plan living area with space to unwind in the lounge or gather around the family dining table. At its heart is a previously renovated kitchen featuring excellent storage, great bench space, a wide freestanding cooker with a gas cooktop and electric oven, a dishwasher and funky red glass splashbacks.
While the living-room extensions still require finishing work, these impressive spaces can already be enjoyed. Vaulted ceilings, exposed brickwork and genuine timber flooring come together to create a distinctive warehouse feel to the expansive main living area, while the future family room at the rear of the home offers flexibility for a variety of uses.
And while you are living and renovating, year-round comfort is assured with the warmth and ambience of wood-fired combustion heating, complemented by ducted reverse-cycle air conditioning.
From the street, easy driveway access leads to a huge triple carport/garage designed to accommodate a caravan and several cars. Beyond it, a character-filled old workshop provides an ideal space for the handyperson or hobbyist, while a second driveway on the high side of the allotment adds even more secure off-street parking - all combined, valuable features to own!
Outdoor living is equally impressive, making the most of this very special setting. A large concrete slab beneath a skillion roof welcomes the warm winter sunshine and creates an inviting space to live outdoors and enjoy through all the seasons with plenty of room for the barbecue and fridge, outdoor dining and lounge furniture.
The backyard aspect and landscape are simply glorious - sunny and sheltered, private and beautifully established, with open lawn space and a thriving native garden habitat that feels completely at one with its surroundings. Relaxing out here, it is hard to believe that this is a metro-lifestyle the heart of Blackwood.
26 Edward Street is an opportunity to take hold of - please get in touch for a private viewing time and Make it Yours.
