Don't miss this opportunity to buy one of the special character houses of Girards Hill. The current owners have lived in the home for 18 years and are selling to move interstate for work. The house is perfectly elevated to offer sweeping views of Lismore and its surrounding hills and ranges, and to capture cool breezes in summer, and northern sunshine in winter. Set in a tropical garden, the owners say this is a lovely home to wake up in, and to take in the light coming in though the leadlight windows in the bedrooms. Watch the view from the verandah as it transitions from sunset to show the flickering lights of town. The generous, paved courtyard is another outdoor space designed for you to be able to enjoy, relax, and unwind. With polished timber floors, high ceilings, leadlight windows, timber fretwork, French doors and Clawfoot bath, 7 Esmonde Street, Girards Hill, delivers that warmth, atmosphere, and charm. Within the home, you have the potential for 4 bedrooms, or you may use the 4th as a study or to work from home. The lounge room opens onto the enclosed side verandah, which is perfect as a dining area as it also joins the kitchen and offers lovely natural light. The kitchen is open plan with an island bench for meal preparation, cooking and the original fireplace is still in place. It features Miele appliances: gas stove, dishwasher, and oven. No matter which room you are in within the home, there is a window or door that provides an outlook to either the green lush garden, the courtyard, or the city. A 6.6 KW solar system will be welcomed given the cost of living. The garden on this generous 942m2 will give great pleasure to the avid gardener and is an asset ensuring privacy, and a comfortable distance from surrounding homes. Girards Hill is a highly desirable and sought-after suburb due to the convenience of its location to town, hospitals, and university, as well as the established leafy surroundings, neighbourhood, and styles of the homes. Located 5 minutes from the Lismore CBD, Lismore Base Hospital and Southern Cross University, 30 minutes to Ballina, and 40 minutes to Byron Bay. From Byron/Ballina airports: Sydney - 1 hour flight; Melbourne – 1.5 hour flight, everything is at your fingertips.
