Set on a large block approx 936 m² between the historic architecture of the former Golden Square Methodist Church and the decommissioned Golden Square Primary School, ensures this classic solid red brick period home will always have good neighbours. Like a vintage red wine, the late 1800's Victorian red brick gets better with age. Over the past five years it has undergone a comprehensive renovation bringing it into the 21st century with style and grace. It retains many period features starting with the front verandah and original front door with latch and knocker while inside you will find soaring 12ft ceilings with plaster roses, coloured glass sidelights, polished pine floors, open fireplaces with timber mantelpieces and solid four-panel doors throughout. First off the central hallway is a charming sitting room boasting a double fireplace with timber mantel and adjoining dining area. The kitchen oozes class and convenience with marble-topped island breakfast bar and benches, Smeg 900mm black enamel range with 6-burner gas cooktop and electric oven, ceramic Farmhouse double sink and ample cabinetry. Big sliding doors connect the kitchen /dining to a large lounge room with feature fireplace, lead-light glazed windows and polished pine floorboards. The main bedroom is found at the front opposite the sitting room and includes walk-in robe and big ensuite with full-wall tiling surrounding the bath, double vanity, shower and WC. Further along the hall is a study nook and large second bedroom before it opens up to the laundry, large main bathroom and light-filled third bedroom with limed-pine ceiling, built-in robe and external access to the back garden. The home is full of creature comforts like split system air conditioning and gas log fires to sitting and lounge rooms, Nobo heating panels to bedrooms, Robinhood ironing centre, quality tiled floors to wet areas and much more. Externally, with front timber picket fence, with beautiful formal box hedging at the front, large ornamental pears at the side and at the rear the tranquil gardens feature manicured Rosemary-hedged lawns, roses and flowering shrubbery with stone crazy-paved pathways and a sheltered alfresco area luxuriating in the shadow of the neighbouring church spire. The big backyard includes a high-span double carport and garage/workshop providing shelter for a fleet of vehicles with ample off-street parking, garden shed and rainwater tanks. Ideally positioned in the heart of Golden Square - a stone's throw from shops, school, pool, sporting facilities and just a 3-minute drive to the CBD.
