Free-standing residence with plenty of character & charm ideally positioned in a leafy streetscape.
Embrace the natural serenity that comes from living on leafy Scrivener Street in this delightful 3-bedroom home that offers the perfect blend of character, comfort and space. Brimming with charm, this property welcomes you with its inviting façade, established low maintenance gardens, updated interiors and light filled rooms. There is a peaceful ambience that feels like home the moment you step inside.Internally, the north facing layout provides spacious living & family areas full of natural light. The slow combustion stove and timber flooring further add a sense of warmth and tranquillity.
The main living area is bathed with sun drenched light through sash windows that deliver a picturesque backdrop of leafy mature trees. Ideal for formal dinner parties or larger social gatherings, this space can be closed off from the family and dining area giving you opportunity to both host guests in style and cater to your day-to-day lifestyle.
The family dining area has a slow combustion stove and adjoins the kitchen, creating a space that is stylish and distinct in design, built for both everyday life and effortless entertaining. With abundant cabinetry and bench tops this spacious galley-style kitchen is the home's heart. It's here you'll prepare meals and share undefinable moments with those who you love.
Further discover the luxury of space with three oversized bedrooms that offer more than just a place to rest. Perfectly positioned away from the living areas, these bedrooms provide true peace and privacy. You'd be forgiven for thinking that each of these rooms are another living area given their generous size. Each room provides ample space for a king-sized bed, additional furnishings, and even a private reading space or study nook to take advantage of the never ending natural lighting.
Whether you are entertaining guests or seeking solitude, step outside and unwind in the two outdoor spaces designed for quiet relaxation and enjoyment. At the front, the verandah provides the perfect spot for a morning coffee, or a sunset wind- down with the surroundings of the established gardens designed to attract native birds. To the rear, the private backyard and patio offer a relaxing setting that is cooler in summer and provides a green space ideal for pets. The vegetable patch makes the most of what is a compact and easy to manage back yard. An attached work area, accessible from the rear of the home, provides tardis-like storage space.
This home is oversized, beautifully appointed and full of potential. The size of the block provides enough garden space for pets and outdoor living without the need for endless maintenance.
