This historic home (circa 1910) boasts hardwood frame, red mahogany weatherboards and polished Tallowood floors, with all the charm, character and charisma you would expect in a home from this period.  Currently offering three bedrooms (could easily become four bedrooms again as two now combined), new kitchen, living, study, TV/reading room, bathroom, two toilets, laundry and lovely covered deck with well established trees providing privacy plus.

Surrounded by trees

As with many Australian homes, friends and family always enter through the backdoor with easy access from the rear lane and single carport for the resident.  Come past (through) the magnificent liquid amber and step onto the semi covered back deck which is, without a doubt, the favourite “room” in the house.  From the deck we access both the bathroom offering shower over bath, toilet and vanity, the laundry complete with second toilet, and the third bedroom.

Step inside through the magnificent Rosegum timber and glass sliders and you’ll find yourself in the renovated kitchen (three years ago) offering good bench and cupboard space, electric oven, gas cooktop, room for a six seater breakfast table and magnificent polished Tallowood floors.

From here move to the “cosy in winter and cool in summer” living room with more polished Tallowood floors and a fantastic open fireplace for those cool winter nights.  From the living room you can then access bedroom two (… x …) which is actually two rooms made into one that could easily become two rooms again if you need a fourth bedroom.

The main bedroom (… x …) is also accessed from the living area and offers more Tallowood floors as well as morning sun and built in robe.  From the living area you also gain access to the spacious study and TV/reading room which once upon a time was part of the verandah space, but now enclosed to provide very useful indoor space.

The location of this historic home is excellent, across the road from the North Bellingen Medical Centre as well as supermarket, bottleshop and takeaway food store.  A delightful and easy 800m walk to the centre of Bellingen over the Bellingen River and close to fantastic local swimming holes.

The covered back deck, which, as we mentioned is the favourite “room” in this home overlooks a large leafy garden filled with mature fruit trees, including Mulberry, Guava, Honey Loquat, Cherry Guava and Pomegranate.  You can enjoy all seasons from this deck and be entertained by the abundant birdlife in the magnificent Liquid Amber tree which of course, drops its leaves in autumn to let the winter sun shine in.

So a magnificent home in a great location offering plenty of room, both inside and out.  In fact there’s plenty of room in the garden to add a separate studio if that’s something you would like (subject to Council approval).  You simply don’t get homes like this any more, with hardwood frame, red cedar weatherboards and Tallowood floors so if you like the sound of it, then call us now.
