This 3 bedroom brick home set on a flat 606 m2 block just 1500 m from Bellingen shops, clubs and cafes is a fantastic first family home or an ideal investment. Offering single lock up garage, open plan lounge dining, good sized kitchen, family/breakfast room, carpet and built ins in all the bedrooms, separate toilet, separate bath & shower, private, easy gardens, and an abundance of birdlife and wildlife.
Shaded Courtyard
"Spanish Butress"
From the street this property is very private with well established gardens and an unusual ‘pseudo – Spanish’ buttress style frontage that both assists with privacy and sets this property apart from others in the street. The single lock up garage is oversized with plenty of room for storage or a small workshop and offers excellent and secure all weather access to the house.
The main entry is tiled and the slate tiles continue up the hallway and extend to the family room and kitchen. The living and dining room are in an ‘L’ shaped arrangement with carpeted floors and lovely high cathedral ceilings featuring exposed timber rafters and timber ceiling.
Dining Room
Living Room
The kitchen is adjacent to the dining room (of course) and also opens on to the family/breakfast room. The kitchen offers adequate bench space with plenty of cupboards and drawers as well as a pantry. There’s an electric stove and cook top, single sink, north facing window overlooking private courtyard and again those lovely cathedral ceilings.
The adjacent family/breakfast room is simply a great space with slate tiles making it easy to look after. There’s plenty of room, a good sized storage/linen cupboard and the compact laundry disappears behind louvred doors when not in use. There’s a reverse cycle split system air conditioner in the family room that easily cools or warms the living area as you desire, and once more those cathedral ceilings provide that luxury of space.
The main bedroom is a good size (3 x 4 m) with double built in robes, split system reverse cycle air conditioning and easy access to the separate dual flush toilet and the bathroom. The bathroom offers separate bath and shower together with small vanity and hand basin. Bedroom 2 is 3 x 3 m with single built in and bedroom 3 is 2.5 x 3 m also with single built in robe.
Covered verandahs and shady courtyard
Main bedroom
Outside this property is an absolute delight with flat easy to look after gardens offering lots of privacy and enticing a myriad of birds to flutter, feed and sing to their hearts content. The block is flood free with the adjacent Connell Creek ensuring no neighbors behind you ever, and again a great encouragement to abundant and varied birdlife with many, many trees planted both sides of the creek.
Lizards and water dragons are welcome and regular visitors to the private court yard area and it’s a delight to sit outside and enjoy a drink and a book and be kept company by the birds whilst the lizards and water dragons bask in the sun. Speaking of sun, the clothes lines gets it all day but the court yard enjoys a shade cloth covering, making it very comfortable all year round.
Looking out through dining room to living room
Family/breakfast room
All the doors and windows are keyed alike with the exception of the back door which requires just one key for entry. There’s a new TV aerial to suit Analogue or Digital TV, there’s a lockable garden shed, plenty of power points both inside and out and the fully fenced back yard provides peace of mind with children and pets.
They say in Halpin Street that the neighbors ‘halp each other’ (sic) and it certainly is a supportive community within a community in this cul de sac street, so close to everything, particularly the high school, swimming pool and playing fields.
As a first home it is fantastic, as a last home it is also fantastic or as an investment property it is ideal with a likely rental return of $300 - $330 pw.
