Overview

Set on a generous 1,064sqm allotment in the peaceful, convenient suburb of Blackwood, this 1950-built timber-frame house presents a rare prospect for buyers seeking substantial space and lifestyle potential. The property combines original character with significant contemporary extensions, offering an adaptable, highly functional floorplan tailored to diverse needs.

The home’s architectural appeal lies in its thoughtful blend of rustic charm and modern practicality brought to life through the considered reuse of materials. With four bedrooms and two bathrooms planned, complemented by three versatile living areas, the layout suits both families and couples seeking room to grow or entertain.

The existing residence features three spacious bedrooms, a combined bathroom/laundry, and a bright, open-plan living and dining area. At its heart, the kitchen boasts quality finishes, generous storage, a wide freestanding cooker with a gas cooktop and electric oven, and a dishwasher—all enhanced by distinctive red glass splashbacks.

Extensions add impressive scale and flexibility, awaiting finishing touches. Expansive spaces with vaulted ceilings, exposed brickwork, and timber flooring recall industrial warehouse aesthetics, creating a relaxed yet striking environment. A planned family room at the rear offers adaptable space for work, recreation, or additional living.

Year-round comfort is assured with wood-fired combustion heating complemented by ducted reverse-cycle air conditioning.
Exterior features include a large concrete slab under a skillion roof, providing sheltered outdoor living, ideal for outdoor dining and entertaining throughout the seasons.
The rear garden presents a private, sunlit haven of open lawn and flourishing native plantings, along with a captivating north-facing outlook and a rare sea glimpse, blending peaceful surrounds with metro accessibility.
Practical car accommodation includes a triple garage/carport capable of housing several vehicles and a caravan, plus a separate driveway leading to a characterful workshop perfect for hobbyists or handypersons.
