18 Alford Street

Ideally located in one of town's most desirable locations, framed by a well known, tree-lined street and steeped in local history as one of the earliest homes constructed in the district, 'Phoenix' is a stunning blend of both the character of years gone by and the modern comforts expected today, and now represents a rarely offered opportunity to secure a landmark local address. As you walk up the front garden path you will be impressed by the Federation facade with its ornate metal fretwork, front verandah and picturesque bay window, and as you step inside via the formal entrance, you will be struck by the ceiling height (12 ft) and the detailed cornicing and arch ways, as well as the polished hardwood floors that line the floor beneath you. Both front bedrooms are of an excellent size (4.2m x 5.8m) and (4.2m x 3.6m) respectively, with the larger room also boasting a beautifully detailed fireplace and the feature bay window completed with double hung picture windows and an abundance of natural light throughout. The formal lounge / living area is also a sight to behold, once again with soaring ceilings, federation period color scheme and decorative fireplace mantle, the perfect space to sit quietly reading a book or joining guests in conversation. Bedrooms three and four are once again well proportioned, and would be capable of holding queen beds if so desired. The central family bathroom has been lovingly updated, and includes a bath, large shower, vanity and stunning tiled floor, as well as a wc. The kitchen is blessed with a convenient island bench with breakfast bar seating, excellent cupboard and under bench storage, together with a 900 mm oven and dishwasher which adds modern comfort to the period detail, including the stunning timber lined ceiling. The adjoining rear living and dining room really forms the central 'hub' of the home, and is the perfect place to relax and entertain family and friends in comfort, whilst over looking the private rear yard. The laundry is at the rear of the home and has external access to the rear verandah, and includes a handy additional shower and toilet, acting as second bathroom. Central floor heating throughout the home provides comfort all year round. Outside there is a spacious and secure garage / shed which measures some 5m x 9.6m and is accessed via the long and open driveway, making parking and maneuvering vehicles easy, as well as providing secure and covered car accommodation. The garden is well stablished and well cared for, adding to this inviting and charm filled proposition. This truly is an exemplary example of quality, period architecture the cannot be replicated today, blended seamlessly with the more modern creature comforts that are expected today.
