You'd be forgiven for thinking this enchanting three-bedroom home has been lifted straight from the pages of a storybook. Originally built in the 1940s and thoughtfully updated over the years, this charming weatherboard residence retains its original character while offering modern comforts. Warm, welcoming, and full of heart, it's a place where lasting memories are just waiting to be made.

The open-plan dining and living area flows seamlessly to a north-facing deck and expansive backyard, creating an effortless connection between indoors and out. Lovingly curated by the current owners who are professional gardeners, the fully fenced grounds are a true highlight. Immaculately landscaped and thoughtfully layered, the gardens provide a beautiful outlook from the sun-soaked deck, where mornings begin with coffee in hand and evenings are made for relaxed entertaining, all set to a peaceful backdrop of birdsong.

Adjoining the dining space, the galley-style kitchen provides generous storage, a gas hob, and quality Samsung appliances, with the added bonus of the refrigerator included in the sale.

Positioned off the main lounge, an additional living space offers excellent flexibility - ideal as a home office, second sitting room, or with scope to convert into a fourth bedroom should extra accommodation be required.

Three inviting double bedrooms, each with built-in wardrobes, are enhanced by a charming garden sleepout - a flexible space that could serve as a teenager's retreat, a cosy guest quarters, or a peaceful rumpus room. Rich timber detailing and new carpet throughout adds warmth and character, creating a home that feels effortlessly welcoming.

The updated family bathroom is complemented by a generous separate laundry, complete with a second toilet for added convenience. Enhanced by an HRV system, three heat pumps, aluminium joinery, double ceiling insulation, and underfloor insulation with a moisture barrier, this delightful home delivers comfort and warmth in every season.

Situated on a picture-perfect 642sqm (more or less) section in the increasingly sought-after suburb of Richmond, this home is close to parks, schools, childcare, and local amenities. A short stroll leads to the new City to Sea pathway, Medway Bridge, and Avebury House - where the delightful Riverlution Café, community gardens, and regular markets create a vibrant, welcoming hub for the neighbourhood.

Parking is effortlessly handled with a double garage, additional off-street spaces on the newly laid driveway, and a hidden gated area perfect for storing bikes or a trailer.

After 15 wonderful years of happy ownership, the vendors are ready to pass the keys to the next lucky owners of this beautiful home.
