This home has a warmth and character that you will not find in any other on the market. It is hard to tell if it is the earthy natural feel of the rammed earth, the unique and yet somehow still practical layout or the big 1260m² block with R20 zoning that backs onto natural bush that brings this home alive. Whatever it is it will have you falling in love in the most beautiful of ways.
The rammed earth walls and iron roof of the home not only provide something solid and grounded but also make this home one of few if any of this type in this location. Feature leadlight windows to some rooms serve to create a further sense of art and the practicality of the privacy they provide is a wonder. Approaching the front of the home you are treated to a lovely covered entry provided by the extensive front veranda. What a fantastic place to sit and watch the world pass by. The massive entry to this home is incredible, tiled flooring, raked ceilings and those beautiful rammed earth walls, wow. Standing here you really start to get the true sense of the home. From this point you can wander in an almost circular motion throughout the whole home. Take the left and the first door way finds a large formal lounge or bedroom depending on your needs. This room is warm and embracing and features timber doors to the outside and large bay window. A few more steps along and the home opens and you are in the beating heart of the home. A good sized kitchen with tons of cupboard space including a walk in pantry entices in inner chef to come out and play. Gas cook top and electric wall oven, double bowl sink and a charming rustic appeal all combine to make this a harmonious area to prepare the nightly meal. This area is also home to the dining and living area again with raked ceilings that create a sense of openness. The area is warmed by a tile fire and a quirky back door proves once again that this home is an individual. The master bedroom with plush carpet and rammed earth walls is inviting and features a huge ensuite with a large corner bath tub, toilet and vanity. There are two other dedicated bedrooms that are both spoilt with plush carpets and plenty of room to move. One of these bedrooms was once two rooms and has had a central wall removed to create a larger space. It would be a synch to replace that wall and essentially convert the home into a five bedroom abode. The family bathroom is fantastically different. Slate tiles feature alongside leadlight windows, small half bath and a shower recess like none other. Glass tiles wrap around the space allowing privacy between the shower and toilet while maintaining a natural and unique feature that will have visitors talking. The outside of the home has potential plus with a level block this big you could do almost anything your heart desires. A large veranda to the rear mirrors that of the front and is the perfect place for entertaining or sitting back and relaxing to the sound of birdsong coming from the natural bush that the yard backs onto. A very large garden shed provides a place to hide away things like the kid’s bikes or the lawn mower. Two instantaneous gas hot water systems and a large double carport further service the home. The home is connected to town gas and is close to town, beach and transport.
No matter what way you look at it this is a home that is practical, functional and uniquely special. It is not pretentious it a wholesome and down to earth home that will become more than just a roof over your head, it will become a part of you. You truly must view this home to appreciate all it has to offer, but I warn you. This home is one that is bound to having you falling in love.
