Privately tucked away and set back from the road, this solid 1940s home delivers space, privacy, and a peaceful outlook that’s increasingly rare within town boundaries. Positioned on a substantial 1,793m2 section, it offers the freedom to breathe, grow, and truly enjoy your surroundings. Spanning approximately 112m2, the home has been tastefully refreshed while honouring its era. Three generous bedrooms showcase original ceiling mouldings, adding character and a gentle nod to the past. The spacious lounge is warm and inviting, centered around a wood burner that creates the perfect ambience through the cooler months. The heart of the home is the upgraded kitchen and dining area, where a modern new kitchen pairs beautifully with rich timber flooring, bringing warmth and texture to the space. From here, doors open seamlessly to the front deck - an ideal setting for morning coffee, long lunches, or simply unwinding. New carpet throughout enhances comfort, while a separate toilet adds everyday practicality. Outdoors, the possibilities truly unfold. The expansive section already features established fruit trees and offers ample room to further develop gardens, keep some chickens, create additional outdoor living areas, or simply enjoy the sense of openness as it stands. There is also subdivision potential (subject to council approval and associated costs), presenting future flexibility for those with long-term vision. Shedding is a standout feature, with a single garage with power, an additional powered shed, a garden shed, and an open three-bay shed - perfect for hobbies, storage, vehicles, or weekend projects. A designated barbecue area completes the picture, providing the perfect space to gather with friends and family while soaking in the rural outlook and spectacular sunsets. Private, versatile, and rich with opportunity, this is more than just a home - it’s a lifestyle offering space, charm, and future potential, right here in town.
