5-7 McCann Street

Encapsulating the essence of our colonial years yet acknowledging the need for modern amenity this absolutely unique sandstone home is simply one out of the box. Located in one our towns most coveted and desired hamlets the half acre of manicured gardens is more like a botanical garden and gives a lovely feeling of peace and seclusion. Starting out life as two workers cottages back in 1852 the original humble beginnings have been swept aside by meticulous renovations and the obvious required extension. Stepping up to the entry you have to stop and pause to marvel at the striking appeal of the sandstone facade. You are then drawn into a home of numerous delights. Stone floors and exposed brick walls keep the historical theme that are punctuated by timber floors and fireplace features. The conservatory has been added in later years and has a marvellous vaulted ceiling with exposed timber beams and a wonderful picture window view of the simply beautiful garden beyond. Strolling around the yard is a joy. Not only is there an expansive north facing zone of paved outdoor entertaining space but there is also little escapes punctuated throughout. A secluded courtyard, an elevated sitting area and also plenty of lawn to sprawl out and enjoy. Then we have the huge bonus. Sitting on top of the extra large garage is the fully self contained bedsitter. With its own access, bathroom and kitchen this is just perfect for numerous options. Rented at $290pw now it can also be vacant if you require it for the overnight stay or perhaps older child as their own personal retreat. Perched on the corner of this superb block of land the immediate location is also a great asset. A reserve across the road complete with tennis courts and plenty of space to walk the dog or just simply embrace the fact you can't ever be built out. Sometimes it's hard to explain lifestyle but come and wander around this property and you'll know exactly what it means.
