This classic weatherboard cottage was built in 1939 when hardwood really was hard! The quality of materials and standard of workmanship have already stood the test of time and come up trumps. Offering 3 generous bedrooms, formal living room, bathroom, separate toilet, fully renovated kitchen, dining room and sunroom with polished timber floors throughout, high ceilings and timber dado walls. There's a lovely well established garden attracting lots of birds, a single lock up garage, a small workshop space and side lane access.

As soon as you arrive you can feel the character in this home…there's a story to tell and as you walk through the front gate and the well established garden including camellias, tibouchina, frangipani and gardenias you can't help but be drawn by it's appeal.

Built after the Great Depression and before the second World War, there was a very no-nonsense approach to the building of this home using the best materials available together with the best techniques and workmanship. It was built to endure but it has done more than that - now in the 21st century it is a shining example of what can be done with a commitment to quality.

Polished floors and louvers		Bedroom 3
Bedroom 1 is 4 x 5m, bedroom 2 is 3 x 5m and bedroom 3 is 3.5 x 4m - all have high ceilings with fans and polished timber floors. The high timber dado walls complete with picture ledges are an absolute classic while most windows are either timber double sash or louvers for great cross flow ventilation. The bathroom is pretty straightforward with a shower over the bath and a small vanity, while the kitchen has been fully renovated and offers plenty of cupboards and drawers, pantry, double sink, good bench space and a top quality Eurolec gas stove and cooktop. The separate toilet was renovated at the same time as the kitchen and the laundry is a good size, also with polished timber floors.

The dining room and sunroom area is the most popular space to be in, overlooking the backyard with its mature jacaranda and heritage palm, together with the single lock up garage, the small workshop and the classic yesterday, today & tomorrow tree.

The birds just love this garden - there's always something flowering - and there's a lovely sweet persimmon tree that is a real favourite. The garden is not just attractive for birds and humans, it's easy to maintain, with plenty of mulched area and it's such an easy walk to the shops, church, schools, clubs and markets that you can just leave the car at home if you like.

It's right opposite a great park and Bellingen's Swim Centre - perfect for early morning laps, the neighbours are friendly, the house is breezy and life's good !!

In short, this is a very solid, well built, genuine hardwood home. It's in a great central location and is ideal for owner occupiers or investors alike. The electric hot water heater is just 1 year old, the whole property has been very well maintained and it offers excellent value in today's market
