This historic, single level brick home was built in the 1920s and lived in by our most famous Stonemason, Frederick Gurnsey, who emigrated from Wales at the turn of last century, and while much of that glorious character remains, the home is now firmly in the 21st century with every modern advantage and comfort. Almost fully double glazed colonial paned windows sit at ease with beautifully tiled bathrooms, a brand new kitchen and luxurious furnishings.
Set on a rear site of 2109sqm, the position is private, quiet and secluded, but within minutes of Fendalton Mall and excellent schooling including all our most favorable State and Private. Facing entirely towards an unobstructed north facing aspect, vast grounds with beautiful trees, rhododendrons and other flowering shrubs make this a veritable paradise for children of all ages with a huge heated swimming pool, a playhouse and rolling green lawns.
Accommodation here is quite extraordinary. There are five bedrooms and three bathrooms in the house itself, (the master suite is a sanctum overlooking the garden), plus a study strategically placed close to the front door.
Outbuildings offer more space with a bedroom and bathroom forming part of the older garage, and the original studio where Frederick Gurnsey himself doubtless created his signature 'Angels and Roses', now converted into a delightful living space with a kitchen.
For some, the main attraction here may possibly be the exceptional garaging. Extra long triple car space with an inbuilt fully lit inspection pit and massive storage, is additional to the original double garaging currently being utilized for workspace and storage but easily converted back to garaging. This could be a small business, work from home opportunity, or a home mechanic's dream come true!
We encourage your viewing but allow some time as there is much to fully appreciate. Our serious sellers family are now all located across the Tasman and their plans to join them are set in stone!
