Price Guide $1,020,000 - $1,080,000
A beautifully constructed home on a huge block of land is a highly sought-after real estate asset. Discovering such a property in close proximity to town is a rare find indeed. We are delighted to present this beautiful, Art Deco style home on a 1277 square metre block (more than a third of an acre!), less than one minute’s walk from Singleton’s main street.
Built in 1954, the solid brick house is in superb condition. It has been freshly painted—inside and out—and the timber joinery is immaculate. There are new roller blinds and guttering, and the terracotta tile roof has been restored and repointed. The home has great proportions: 2.8 metre ceilings with decorative cornices, wide hallways, and stunning spotted gum hardwood floors throughout. The north-facing formal lounge is an enticing room, with its slow-combustion fireplace and picture windows overlooking a charming private front garden.
There are three bedrooms—all newly carpeted, and with built-in-robes—and two bathrooms. Although this home was built decades ago, it boasts a multitude of contemporary inclusions, such as ducted air-conditioning, and a chef’s kitchen with a six-burner gas cooktop, 900mm oven, Caesarstone benchtops and an island bench with waterfall edges.
Adjacent to the kitchen there is an open plan family/meals area with timber sliding doors leading directly out onto an expansive deck. A stunning patio, paved with tumbled granite cobblestones, topped with an impressive hardwood pergola, and bordered by established silver birch trees provides an additional entertaining area. It is easy to envisage whiling away long summer evenings with family and friends in this beguiling space.
Despite the home’s close proximity to town, the fully-fenced yard is completely private and has extensive hedging. A number of attractive, mature trees are dotted around the landscaped grounds, but it is a spectacular avocado tree, planted in 1970, which takes pride of place and provides a green, leafy canopy for summer shade—as well as a great supply of avocadoes for the home’s owners.
A further significant attribute of this property is a self-contained studio situated to one side. This is a delightful building, constructed to the same high standard as the main house. It has hardwood timber flooring, split system air-conditioning, and includes a fully-sized kitchen with dishwasher and electric cooktop. There is a gorgeous new bathroom with Carrara marble and luxury finishes, and a laundry with a combination washer-dryer. A large private rear deck is well-designed to take advantage of the outlook over the large leafy yard, and is a perfect spot to relax with a morning cuppa—or for an afternoon drink. The studio can be leased for a regular income, used for short term rental accommodation, or just kept as a luxurious place for your guests to stay.
There is ample room for off-street parking with undercover space for two cars and a garage with storage area.
One family has owned this gem of a home for nearly a quarter of a century but now it is time for a new chapter. One of the current owners is a master builder and his influence is evident in the superb quality and condition of the main house and the studio. This is a property you can move into immediately, with absolutely nothing to do, except to enjoy it and love it as much as the current owners have.
