Description: Built by the owner for his family using traditional woodworking skills, this much-loved post-war home showcases exceptional craftsmanship rarely found today.
Constructed using traditional mortise-and-tenon joints, widely regarded as one of the strongest and most reliable joints in traditional woodworking, the home reflects a level of quality and care that is increasingly difficult to find. Hand-selected hardwood was used throughout the external boards and frames, adding to the home's strength, warmth and enduring appeal.
Inside, the original character continues. The interior walls feature Masonite hardboard, containing no asbestos, while the kitchen retains its wonderful mid-century charm with original overhead display cabinets, timber lower cupboards and extensive laminate benchtops.
A standout feature is the original St George Grillmaster stove, adding an authentic touch to the generously sized eat-in kitchen, which provides plenty of room for family meals and gatherings.
The welcoming foyer creates a formal entrance and leads through to a separate, well-proportioned lounge room.
Accommodation includes two oversized bedrooms plus a sleepout/office, all serviced by the upstairs bathroom, which has been thoughtfully upgraded with a new water closet, floor tiles and grab rails.
A very convenient second bathroom adjoins the large laundry and includes a separate shower and water closet.
It's easy to see that this has been a much-loved family home, with plenty of space for children to play and family gatherings to be enjoyed. The separate entertainment area features the original BBQ and provides an ideal space for relaxing and entertaining.
Wide rear access leads to the backyard, where you'll find excellent vehicle accommodation including space for a caravan, a two-car lock-up shed and carport.
