Beyond the Gate, history unfolds. Built in the early 1900's and originally known as Awamoa Estate this two storied character home is set to impress with its' blend of modern comforts and timeless features. There is a choice of two welcoming and sun capturing living areas, the first a more intimate space with log-burner for the smaller gathering, or the larger family room with an impressive bay window, French doors to the patio, a heat pump and the ambiance of an open fireplace. The kitchen /dining area has been sympathetically upgraded with modern joinery and appliances while retaining the still functioning coal oven for the traditionalist. Up the carpeted grand stairway, from where you can overlook the garden through the lead light window on the first landing, are the four bedrooms and family bathroom. The master overlooks the garden, and has a sea view, while the second bedroom has a sunroom attached that in earlier days was an open balcony. Modernised, the family bathroom has a rain-head shower over the bathtub, vanity and toilet. A second heat pump, though seldom required, ensures the upper level is kept warm and cosy. The laundry and second toilet are handily located just metres from the kitchen back door in the "out-building"
The home recently refurbished throughout, electrical and plumbing upgrades, insulation topped up and triple glazing added has had the hard work done. A single car garage with attached workshop provides for the tools and toys, and there is plentiful off-street parking.
The park like 3486 sqm section offers an expanse for family gatherings, or the children to play in the purpose-built tree hut, while a powered studio at the bottom of the garden leads itself to a multitude of uses. Within the town boundary yet incredibly private, act now and call Jan to find out more about viewing options for this enticing property.
