Charming leafy front aspect
"It offers high ceilings..."
As you enter this property it has a lovely feel with the warmth of the original hardwood floors combining with the high ceilings and open space created by renovations to provide the best of both worlds. The open plan living/dining/kitchen offers plenty of space as well as a cast iron slow combustion log burner for staying cosy on those cool winter nights and reverse cycle split system air conditioning for perfect climate control all year round. The ceilings throughout this home are fully insulated and the large covered verandah provides the perfect space for relaxing or entertaining.
The kitchen is virtually brand new with plenty of fixed benchspace, cupboards and drawers as well as a fantastic moveable island bench with more cupboards and drawers. There’s a double sink, dishwasher, electric cook top and oven and delightful views over the verandah to the well established gardens with river reserve and rolling hills beyond.
Original hardwood floors
Kitchen with verandah views
There are 3 bedrooms, of course all with high ceilings and timber floors. The main bedroom (3.5m x 3m) has a built in robe. Bedroom 2 (3m x 3m) and bedroom 3 (4m x 2.5m) don’t have built in robes but they each have enough space for moveable or built-in robes.
The high-back clawfoot bath is an absolute classic and according to the owner gives the best most water efficient bath ever – she would happily take it with her if she could but the good news is that it stays. The timber vanity is small but stylish with old look hand basin and curved benchtop while the separate toilet is dual flush with plenty of space.
The carport can handle any size car and there’s a rainwater tank providing water for drinking or gardening. The backyard is fully fenced with lots of well established trees and shrubs and with plenty of river reserve adjoining it’s hard to believe you’re actually in town. There’s plenty of local wildlife and birdlife including water dragons, blue tongue lizards, regent and satin bower birds, spiny anteaters and currently there’s a very rare leaf tail gecko resident in the shed.
Separate studio at the rear of the shed
Quiet secluded back yard
Speaking of the shed, it’s very well set up with shelves and benches and leads to the separate studio which is fully insulated (walls & ceiling) with plenty of phone sockets and power points so it’s ideal as an office space, and particularly well suited for IT work. It’s separately metered for electricity, has reverse cycle split system air conditioning, its own toilet and a beautiful big timber slab desktop built-in.
The property offers a lot...
New kitchen with island bench
In summary this property offers a lot – the convenience of being in town (just a 1 km easy walk to the heart of Bellingen) with the luxury of feeling like you are out of town. With 3 bedrooms, polished timber floors, new kitchen, big covered verandah, well established fully fenced backyard adjoining river reserve, and lots more this property is well worth your inspection.
