It will be a case of first in – best dressed when this home goes under the hammer. Nestled in the quiet end of coveted Barkly Street, it brings new meaning to the term “tightly held” as the custom-built residence has enjoyed the same family ownership for almost 50 years. Built in 1970, this appealing family home is filled with character, warmth and personal style. It features a spacious lounge room overlooking the wide front patio, cosy sitting/dining room with cleverly concealed study nook and direct access to the side carport and ample off street parking. The updated kitchen has electric cooking, dishwasher, pantry, island bench and clear views over the rear garden while a versatile central lobby can be utilised as a sunroom or casual meals area with the laundry tucked into one corner. The ground floor also houses two good size bedrooms, with robes, the bathroom, WC and an external utility room. Upstairs the third bedroom includes access to a quaint balcony facing Stout Street, built in robes, dressing table and ensuite. Along with the recent addition of ducted heating and cooling, the kitchen renovation and minor updates, the home is in excellent original condition. Situated on a block measuring approx. 806 sqm with dual access from Barkly Street and Stout Street, the residence is embraced by a ramble of greenery including big shade trees and lawns edged with garden beds. This is your opportunity to add another chapter to the property’s history where the elite address says it all.
