The building itself has been looked after by its current owner, with various improvements such as on-demand gas hot water, a new, extensible power board, 3 new fences, a new gas oven with electric grill, a dishwasher, Split System heating/cooling throughout and replacement of underground drains.


The original Tasmanian Oak floorboards are throughout the open plan living, dining area, hallway and bedrooms. Art Deco decorative decals like the rosettes and cornices add an element of character to the graciously sized rooms and ceilings. Wet areas are tiled. The brick wall facing Sydney Road ensures the home is impressively quiet for somewhere located on a main road.


The established garden has been designed to be drought tolerant, offering a low-maintenance option to the investor, with plenty of room for further development of a permaculture garden for someone with green thumbs.

Edible trees include lemon, lime, finger-lime, mint, spearmint, mulberries, plum, peach, rosemary, sage, aloe vera, lilly pillie, oregano, olive, fig, wormwood, lavender, banana, many avocado trees, a bay leaf tree and the cherry on top: a Sugar Maple tree (used to harvest Maple Syrup).


There is a beautiful line of deciduous, mature silver birches along the north, letting light in throughout winter and providing protective shade in summer. Compact native Lilly Pillies have been chosen for privacy screening along the borders. Feature natives include a regal, deciduous Claret Ash, and a gorgeous collection of silver and burgundy ground cover, bushes and trees.
