Step into a world where character, space, and serenity converge. This enchanting 1940s Art Deco residence is gracefully set on an expansive 3,946m² (0.97 acre) allotment, offering the rare luxury of town services while embracing a tranquil, semi-rural lifestyle. A sweeping garden estate unfolds before you-an inspired tapestry of mature poplars, pear trees, natives, mulberry, and seasonal fruit trees. A picturesque pond, formal garden entry, and curated outdoor zones create an idyllic setting for both quiet reflection and elegant entertaining. Practicality meets sustainability with a garden shed, water tank, and a substantial 7.055 kW solar system, while a powered workshop/double garage adds versatility for hobbyists or collectors. Inside, the home's Deco heritage reveals itself in exquisite detail. A welcoming verandah porch leads to an ornate hallway ceiling, setting the tone for refined interiors. The front sitting room, anchored by a tapestry fireplace, exudes warmth and charm, complemented by polished timber floors that flow throughout. Accommodation is both generous and flexible, with two large bedrooms serviced by a stylishly renovated bathroom. A separate dining room with fireplace invites intimate gatherings, while the semi-modern kitchen is thoughtfully appointed with pantry, dishwasher, electric oven, and gas cooktop. At the rear, a light-filled sitting room with reverse-cycle air conditioning provides a relaxed retreat, opening to the lush garden surrounds. The main bedroom suite is a private haven, complete with walk-in robe and tranquil garden outlook, alongside a well-appointed en-suite featuring shower, double vanity, and WC. A spacious laundry adds further functionality. Positioned within easy reach of local shops, this unique property delivers the best of both worlds-convenience and countryside charm. Adding to its storybook appeal, a historic steam train gently passes nearby, evoking a sense of nostalgia and timeless romance.
