Be blessed with a hundred-thousand welcomes when you make this original beauty your forever home. Greeting visitors with Céad Míle Fáilte,(100,00 Welcomes), this c.1929 is one of the original land-holding properties of the area. Much loved by one happy Irish-English family for more than half a century, this gracious original is now ready to offer a wide welcome to the next generation to enjoy its period beauty and generous approx 622sqm land. Lovingly maintained by a craftsman owner and his houseproud wife across the decades, this high-gabled, wide-verandaed beauty retains much of its original 2-bedroom floorplan. Unfolding beyond a leadlight entry, the home offers a fine formal lounge or 3rd bedroom with timber-mantled fireplace, beautifully proportioned bedrooms (one currently converted as dining) and light-filled family living flowing from kitchen-dining to conservatory-style sunroom. Meticulously detailed with an artisan-crafted timber kitchen with quality European appliances, plus two quality bathrooms, this gracious, spacious and solid home represents a rare opportunity to re-style and make history at this central Highett address. Wonderfully comfortable with ducted heating, reverse-cycle air-conditioning, fan-cooling and an alarm, there's an all-weather al fresco area in beautifully landscaped grounds with vine-draped, tall-treed fairytale gardens for kids to explore ...and, perhaps, to inspire something new. Situated where Bayside residential locale meets the Highett Rd shopping strip, this welcoming property is a rare find; 200m to the train, one stop down the line to Southland and a door-to-door commute to the CBD.
