Built in 1956, this solid brick property has had the benefit of a single family owning it since construction. Many of the original period features remain, including floorboards; timber doors and pelmets; high ceilings; original decorative glasswork and decorative cornice. Positioned in a quiet, historic street just a few minutes walk from the centre of Eaglehawk and also walking distance to primary and secondary schools, this home is also ideally located.
Off the main entry hall are three bedrooms – all with ceiling fans. The generous proportions of these rooms allow for great design flexibility as any of the spaces would easily allow room for a third living area or a home office. A large bathroom is also found off the main hallway, and a sizeable linen cupboard is built-in to the hall just outside this room.
The main entry also leads to a large living room, complete with gas heater and original brick fireplace surround. Sliding doors open through to a light-filled kitchen and dining area. The kitchen features vintage cabinetry with timber worktops and although a gas oven and cooktop replaced the original woodstove many years ago, an allowance to restore this feature is readily accessible should the new owner be keen for a restoration.
From the kitchen is a large laundry with a separate toilet, a mudroom and an extension at the rear of the property that has created a large living area.
The backyard is sunny and private and a gate to one side of the yard leads to the garage and, on the other, a double gate offers vehicle access – ideal for trailers, boats or caravans. The two garages are both large enough for a single vehicle with extra space for a workbench at the rear. One is fully brick and there is the flexibility to remove the central wall and make this one large space if required.
Additional features include: -Ducted evaporative cooling -Gas heating and air conditioner -Aluminium window frames -Access from both sides of the property into the rear garden -Solar hot water system with gas booster -2 x single sheds with concrete floor and power
With so much of the original character and charm available in this mid-century property, this is a fantastic opportunity to take on a quality build and really create something special. With a flexible floor plan and positioned in a great location close to everything, this much-loved family property has much to offer.
