Privacy, space and history combine in one magical location as you wander around these expansive, beautifully landscaped gardens. You cannot help but feel removed from suburbia…yet be so conveniently close to the shopping centre of this thriving community of New Norfolk. Set on just over 2,100sqm of expansive, well established yet surprisingly easy-care gardens, this gorgeous Canadian bungalow is rich in the features characteristic of its 1940's era, with more than enough space to accommodate a growing family inside and out. This is a property that has been cherished by its current owners who have cleverly integrated modern-day comforts with old world charm to successfully create a real "WOW" from the moment you step through the front gates. Built in an exclusive precinct originally set aside for management and their families who worked at the Australian "Boyer" Newsprint Mill, no expense was spared to provide quality, secure and private residences on approx. half acre lots. Like walking onto a streetscape at Hollywood Studios, the surrounding homes along Derwent Terrance all exude a grandeur and timeless Canadian architectural influence not unlike 3 Pearson Street, that sets these homes apart from your usual residential dwelling. Even down to the Huon Pine gutters which will never need to be replaced, the generous sizing of the rooms, classic features and the overall quality of this home, all obvious as you walk around. The kitchen and bathrooms have all been beautifully renovated to exacting detail, integrating perfectly with the more traditional features including the Tas Oak polished timber floorboards and soft furnishings that make this house a home. A practical island bench in the kitchen and a myrtle breakfast bar is conducive to after-school snack time conversations and social chit chat. Ample cupboards and a large walk-in pantry provides more than enough room for those kitchen extras and food! All of the rooms are spacious, have 9ft high ceilings, opening timber windows and solid timber doors, classic 1940's design features that add to the appeal of this home. The luxury addition of a ducted reverse cycle air conditioner/heater provides year-round comfort in addition to the ambient fireplaces, for those cosy winter nights in. High fencing and established hedging provide enormous privacy from the street, with two entry gates for ease of access and additional secure parking for a caravan, boat and trailer - a rare find in any location! All the hard work has been done in the gardens which are rich of floral delights, moreso with Spring upon us. With three separate garden areas, there is space for your family dog, chooks and children to play together or separately. A private courtyard off the dining/kitchen is ideal for entertaining with a built-in barbeque and gate opening out to the main garden. Sandstone pathways lead you to the front door if you do not enter via the internal staircase directly from the garage/carport. There is also a separate garage for the "special" car that is not used as often as your everyday runabout! Deceptive in size, the underneath area of the home provides fabulous storage space, workshop room, cellar and utility options for use as a home gym or games room, depending on your needs. The flow between the living spaces is practical, and the layout is versatile, making it an ideal home for a family who love the idea of having a safe yard for children to explore and ample room inside for a family to have both formal and informal living spaces. Attracting all day sun and with views across to Mount Wellington, this private residence is truly unforgettable and has a real "WOW" about it from the moment you enter this amazing property.
