Home Description

Description of the home

I'm seeking a dependable, fun at heart, down-to-earth, civilised person to share my 3 bedroom home.

Positioned in a peaceful, quiet, wide street, the house has just been fully renovated while still retaining its 1950's period charm, including art deco ceiling cornices. There are freshly polished floorboards in the living areas, but comfy carpet in the bedrooms.

I'm only advertising 1 room, as currently I've set up the 3rd bedroom as a study & second sitting room (complete with another large 55" screen TV).

The Gas Log Fireplace really gives the illusion of being an open fire, but without the mess, & the heat it provides is extremely effective. There's also a huge Split System Air Conditioner in the house. There are ceiling fans in each bedroom, & together with the air conditioner it's easy to keep the house comfortable & cool on hot summer days & nights too.

There's a separate Kitchen and Dining Area, & the Lounge Room has French Doors opening onto the front verandah which overlooks a lovely lush front lawn.

There's also a separate laundry & 2nd loo, and the main Bathroom is brand new & has a bath.

The Kitchen is also brand new with Bosch Stainless Steel dishwasher and extra-large, wide, 5 burner Stainless Steel Stove (gas) and large, wide, fan-forced oven. All the kitchen cabinetry is new, complete with soft-closing drawers and cupboards, providing plenty of storage space.

There is a covered entertaining area outside at the back of the house, with a large BBQ with hood ; 4 burners, a grill & hotplate. The undercover area is light & bright, leading onto a lovely blue-slate paved courtyard, bordered by a herb garden; large lime, lemon & apple trees flank the fence (both the lime and lemon trees are laden with fruit - I''m always giving bags of lemons and limes away to appreciative friends & family). There's a small garden shed plus a large raised veggie patch. It's a lovely space, easy to maintain, and ideal for entertaining or just relaxing in. I also share the garden with My 3 Generations of gentle girls: Whippets named: Phoenix, Mynx & Beatrix. πŸ˜ŠπŸΎπŸ™‹πŸ»πŸ˜Ž
