21 Stanley Street

Magic position directly opposite parkland! This lovely home sits behind a swell of garden and gazes out toward the playground and parkland whilst enjoying sunsets above the trees. The classic brick, sweet front porch and big casement windows deliver a signature vintage charm. The interiors have been updated, combining the old and the new, creating a soothing home with a sunny disposition that spills to a big north-easterly rear garden. Slender eucalyptus trees, strappy native grasses and callistemons crowd the generous frontage. The garden sprawling in a natural curve, following the line of the loop street, the whole home informed by a gorgeous leafy immersion as garden and open parkland provide a feeling of acreage. Inside the living, dining and kitchen flow together in a circular sweep which is perfect for family connection and entertaining. The kitchen has been renovated and serves up timber worktops, subway tiling and banks of crisp white cabinetry. There is a pantry with clever internal drawers and all-electric appliances. Large windows welcome northern light and there is a generous adjacent laundry that opens directly onto the private rear gardens. A clerestory window illuminates the hallway that ushers to three peaceful bedrooms. The master is placed to the front, overlooking the garden and park. The second bedroom has a big built-in-robe and all three bedrooms sit near a nostalgic, family bathroom with mosaic tiled floors and pops of gorgeous eucalypt green. We love all the simple touches, decorative cornices, patterned glass and a welcoming foyer with timber hooks for hanging hats and a cupboard for winter coats and woollies. Flat lawns wrap around the side of the home and trees edge the high fence lines. Rosemary peaks through bedroom windowsall around a feeling of peace and expansiveness. One imagines an extension that takes full advantage of the northerly aspect or perhaps simple garden bliss - growing fresh herbs and veggies, letting the kids play for hours, nurturing new plantings and welcoming birdlife into your special native ecology.
