With picture window views of Sherbrooke Forest and only 300 metres to metro train station, bus connections, shops, cafes, bars, live music, and cinema, this beautiful character-filled circa 1919 home gives you the best of both worlds – super convenience and a genuine, private Hills retreat amongst the trees and birds. Wrapped in a wide, early 20th century jarrah verandah, the upper level of this home has 3 generous bedrooms, including one with open fireplace. The light-filled, extensive living area has rare, original Kauri pine floors with a combination of old-world sash windows and large, North-facing, double-glazed picture windows bringing mountain views and an abundance of winter sun and streams of moonlight. Downstairs is zoned Class 1B accommodation with 2 bedrooms, loungeroom, kitchenette, bathroom with spa, and a large deck to enjoy the garden and northerly sun. Being a short stroll from tourist hot spot Puffing Billy, this is a great opportunity for a lucrative accommodation business or homestay income from international students from the adjacent private girls' high school. In addition, there is a 6K watt cost-saving solar system which receives all-day northerly sun. With the potential to add battery storage, there is no need to worry about rising electricity prices. Other features include ducted heating, WI-FI connected smoke alarm system, 2 wood heaters, lead-light windows, skylights, terraced block and 4 car spaces. With enough space for family living, an accommodation business, art studio, or teenager retreat, plus a home office, all of your dreams can coexist in this exceptional home. - 1,353sqmsqm (approx.) property only 300m from iconic Puffing Billy Railway and the amenities of Belgrave township - Light-filled living area with rare Kauri flooring and North-facing double-glazed windows - Lower level zoned as Class 1B rental accommodation - 6Kw cost-saving solar power system - Ample off-street parking and wide street frontage Please note: All information provided has been obtained from sources believed to be accurate, however, we cannot guarantee the information is accurate.
