Character and Location
This charming family home in an excellent town position has so much to offer. Built in the early 1900s, the house boasts many original features, as well as the high ceilings and generously sized rooms that were typical of this era.
The pressed metal exterior has been freshly painted in original heritage colours, and the interior possesses many lovely period features, such as an open fireplace with a superb original surround, pressed metal ceilings, and original hardwood timber wall lining boards. French doors open out on to a side verandah from the spacious living room.
In addition to these period inclusions, modern requirements have not been forgotten, with ducted air-conditioning ensuring comfortable temperatures throughout Singleton’s hot summers and cold winters. Something this home has in abundance is space, and the three bedrooms are all of a substantial size. Two of the bedrooms have direct access onto a wide, enclosed verandah, which would make a beautiful sunroom or large study. In addition to the family bathroom there is an outside toilet. The spacious, eat-in kitchen with dishwasher opens onto a full width, screened verandah which overlooks a large, shady backyard. Perfect for giving children lots of room to play, while Mum or Dad keep an eye on things from inside.
Just as they don’t build houses like this anymore, block sizes rarely come as large as this one, especially so close to town. At an enviable 872 square metres, fully fenced, with established trees and a sprawling level lawn, this property is the perfect size for a growing family. There is also room for a couple of vehicles, with a single, lock-up garage and a carport.
The attributes that the vendors have most loved are its unique construction, feeling protected inside its walls, the sense of solid permanence and its superb, central town location. Growing up in this home, their children were able to enjoy the independence of walking to school and sport as they got older. Shops and cafes are also an easy, level walk away, making this an appealing and practical proposition for families keen to improve their quality of life.
