Wonderful location, great home and enchanting gardens – the complete package!

There is something oh so welcoming about the front garden, perhaps it's the pretty pink flowering silk trees, the over-reaching branches and the invitational tug of gravel paths. Yellow daisies crowd the vintage porch, while the classic brick form evokes a soothing nostalgia. This beautifully renovated four-bedroom ensuite home is perfectly placed, overlooking the expansive green belt and within easy reach of all the enticing attractions of the inner north.

The wonderful feel continues within, where a fusion of old and new delivers a soulful and everlasting family home. Think fabulous storage, gorgeous contemporary kitchen and open access to the private garden at the rear. We love the decorative cornices, preserved vintage light fittings, dimpled glass detailing and welcoming foyer complete with coat cupboard.

The big airy living serving up a featured papered wall. Northern light tumbles through big windows and there is a nice circular flow to the dining area and renovated kitchen. Waterfall stone worktops, industrial pendants, subway tiling…all deliver the kitchen into the here and now, while gently nodding to the past. Quality electric appliances make entertaining easy and include a dishwasher from Bosch. It is easy to imagine spilling to the broad and sheltered alfresco patio, communing with family and friends, while the kids frolic on the flat lawns.

Modern gestures feel conversant with the 60s build – plantation shutters, timber-like vinyl flooring, elegant floating shelves. The hallway ushers to four generous bedrooms including the large master sitting privately at the end of the home. Here built-in-robes and an ensuite set the stage for a peaceful adult retreat. Glass sliders open wide, delivering you to a deck that connects with the glorious canvas of the front garden.

The remaining generous bedrooms serve up excellent storage and sit handy to the family bathroom with a bath and separate toilet. Both bathrooms enjoy simple schemes that pair crisp white with organic grey floors. Clever updates deliver a sustainable edge – approx. 50% double glazing, boosted floor and ceiling insulation and electric RC, ducted heating and cooling.

The home is perfectly located behind the Antill Street green belt and across from Watson, minutes from the Dickson precinct and not far from the dynamic Braddon scene. It is an easy stroll to the Watson Woodlands and the walking and riding trails of Mount Majura. The home is also handy to transport and a variety of schools and colleges and the Australian Catholic University.
