RARE FEDERATION HOME IN PRIVATE POSITION
13 HILL STREET, BELLINGEN
$488,000

 

13 Hill St, Bellingen
Flattened 360 degree image - Great Location

 

This beautiful red mahogany weatherboard home set on almost an acre (3327 sq m) was actually built in the year of Federation - 1901. It's in great condition and offers 2/3 bedrooms, 2 studios, study, large kitchen/dining and an absolutely amazing living room/conservatory that is virtually all glass and takes you into the trees with the birds. And of course there are high ceilings, polished timber floors, well established gardens with beautiful old trees, and bullnose verandahs - a rare offering.

From the moment you arrive at this property you know you are somewhere special. As you stand at the front door and look north along the eastern bullnose verandah, you can't help but be drawn to the table in the north eastern corner and the promise of what's around the corner on the northern verandah, but let's come back to the front door and look inside.

Genuine Federation home Amazing living room/conservatory
 

The classic wide hall entry is instantly inviting and through the door at the end of the hall the living room/conservatory beckons, bathed in light with birds fluttering in the trees, but first to the bedrooms. The main bedroom is beautifully large (5 x 5m) complete with classic Victorian grate fire place, floor to ceiling built in robes and of course, polished floors. There's a smaller (2.5 x 4.5m) enclosed verandah room adjoining that offers ensuite access to the bathroom and makes a fantastic dressing room, nursery or 3rd bedroom.

The study is next, with plenty of cupboard space and a cast iron slow combustion log burner in the original kitchen fireplace. Through French doors we find bedroom 2 which as big as the main bedroom and boasts a full wall of combined built in wardrobe, dressing table and writing desk. The bathroom has recently been renewed and offers a deep bath with shower over, small vanity and toilet. The laundry adjoins and opens onto the back verandah overlooking the incredibly private backyard.

The kitchen/dining area is huge (10 x 5m) and the kitchen has Australian cherrywood cupboards with plenty of bench space, a double sink with composting chute and filtered drinking water, a dishwasher, a new electric stove and cooktop and French doors onto the northern verandah. The dining area enjoys another set of French doors to the northern verandah and the slow combustion log burner in the corner can be used to heat your water in winter as well as warm the house. The polished timber floors and 12 foot ceilings throughout are simply magnificent, as are the 10m long red mahogany lining boards in this room.

Wide (1.8m) hall Bullnose verandahs Beautiful old trees
   
From here we walk through large leadlighted French doors to the simply stunning living room/conservatory with floor to ceiling glass on 3 walls and adjoining verandahs on 2 sides. There's classic parquetry flooring and a feeling of being in the trees with the birds as you overlook the rare rainforest in your backyard. There's a separate pine lined studio (converted original garage) with timber floor. stained glass windows and kitchen sink, while downstairs there's another studio that's beautifully private, cool in summer and sunny in winter with lots of northern light.

Bedroom 2 Feel like you're in the trees

Outside, the garden is delightful and filled with good old fashioned lilies and bulbs. There's freesias, jasmine, wisteria, tree gardenia, huge camellias, holly, perfumed pink azaleas, a classic African Carissa planted by Dr Hewitt, frangipani, jacarandas, 2 triple crowned cycads, bunya pines, hoop pines, and grey gums, just to name a few and to say nothing of the tree ferns and other rainforest species spread over this large 3327 sq m block. Speaking of the block size - it is sub dividable, subject to council approval, and with so much room to move it would be reasonably easy to maintain privacy for this grand old home.
