1 Bideford Avenue

To secure a home and investment in your future and buy into beautiful Clarence Gardens. Come and live with a perfect north facing backyard setting, and if a garage-workshop is on the wish-list it doesn't get much better than this. This 1960-character home lives on 835sqm of land with perfect dimensions and where the frontage is 19.82m. Uniquely different in its own way, there is a certain understated quality about this home. The solid brick and stone construction together with stepped concrete walls and large bay window give this home its unique appeal, while on the inside, the home comes with a few quirky features and lots of potential! Inside, there are high ceilings throughout, and all the rooms are spacious! The main living room features acoustic ceilings, the old combustion heater has a rare marble stone hearth and surround, hardwood timber mantel, bookshelves and a large mirror that amplifies this main living room. Another cool feature are the two timber and glass panelled sliding doors that keep this room private. Install a new wood-fired combustion heater in time for the winter season and cosy in! Separate dining is a link room and complements both the main living area and the kitchen. The galley style Blackwood timber kitchen looks out through sash windows to the backyard setting, it has excellent storage and bench-space, there is a dishwasher, and room for a large fridge. The wide formal entry and hallway also serve to zone the bedrooms from the two living areas making them feel private. The main bedroom also has acoustic ceilings and features timeless timber joinery and built-in storage. Bedroom two is a good-size room and together they share a classic terrazzo bathroom with a little life left and ideally a separate toilet. The laundry-utility room is accessed by the rear porch. The backyard of this superb 835sqm allotment is shaded by two magnificent Elm trees. Appreciate the adobe-brick walls that frame gardens, the old Hills-Hoist stands proudly down the back which is also the ideal spot for a market garden, the old-chook shed could be re-instated, and breeze block walls separate this great backyard from the huge garage and workshop. At the end of the driveway where you can park a few cars, a secure garage + workshop is the dream for some blokes. You could fit four cars and for the tradesperson, camper trailer, enthusiast or that serious hobby, it doesn't get much better! Your new home is set well back from Bideford Avenue with a wide-open front yard aspect and feels private behind a beautiful custom-built hardwood fence. Within city-limits and convenient to everything, what a place to live and invest in your future!
