Welcome to "Brookida". Known as one of Alstonville's first homes on the plateau, and the original historic family home of local legend Foreman Crawford. This flat, approximately two & a quarter acre property, is conveniently located on the edge of town less than 1km to the local post office and shopping centre, and the big bonus is connection to TOWN WATER! Take a trip back in time to when the first settlers of Alstonville lived a simple life on the farm raising their family. Current owner has enjoyed 30 years here and is now wanting to downsize. This grand old home is just waiting for someone with creative energy to bring it back to its' former glory and add some modern touches. The house sits high on the block to catch the breezes, leaving plenty of room around for any future development of sheds, pool or even a second dwelling (STCA). Original features include french doors from every room opening out onto the timber verandahs wrapping around the house, spacious 10 foot high ceilings with original fretwork for light fittings, VJ lining boards throughout the interior and timber floors. Current owner has had the house re-stumped and roof renewed. The floor-plan consists of 4 bedrooms, kitchen with casual dining, large lounge-room, multi-purpose area at rear of house, 1 bathroom plus a 2nd toilet & laundry area, single remote garage with internal access. Outside is a timber shed for the tractor with an extra side carport, plus another lockable shed/studio building to the back of the property. And for your feathered friends, a chicken coop! So much potential is waiting for the next owner on this rare, prime piece of real estate. Call exclusive agent Michele Wallace to arrange an inspection today!
