Owners ready to leave town. Massive price reduction !!!
One of a kind 'colonial living' in Tennant Creek.
A 1250m2 block, 200m2 of interior living areas, 200m2 verandah - this property just screams spaciousness. Originally built in the early 40's as the postmasters residence, this property will amaze prospective buyers.
Parking is at the rear of the property and the first thing you notice as you enter is the 5 degree drop in temperature. New exterior shades and new security grade bronze flywire has been applied to the verandah. The verandah is 3 metres wide and runs 65 metres around all 4 sides of the principal residence. There are also new fans throughout the property.
Open the gate, up the stairs, cross the verandah and enter the lounge. The lounge/dining room is wide and runs the length of the house. The lounge ceilings are 10 foot high while the other rooms are 11foot 6 inches. Off the lounge on one side is the kitchen and master bedroom and on the other side are the other two bedrooms and the toilet/bathroom.
The kitchen is an outstanding example of how a colonial kitchen should look. To help preserve this look some of the pictured furniture is included in the price (ask for a chattel list). The room is well laid out and features a 5 burner electric stove and dishwasher.
The bedrooms are large and all feature double french doors that lead onto the verandah. All have fans and the pictured wardrobes come with the sale. The bathroom/toilet has undergone a complete refurbishment one month ago and there is a second toilet on the verandah. The home is serviced by ducted evaporative air-conditioning which is extremely effective. Outside is the original laundry. This smaller room has been fully lined and had a box air-conditioner fitted. This room would be ideal for a teenagers bedroom, sewing room, games room or office.
The backyard is large but extremely low maintenance. There is a bbq area complete with cool box as well as an area ideal for growing vegies. The electrical switchboard has been fully upgraded and there are tv outlets and data points in all rooms. The verandah is a great place for family and friends to relax after dinner and features a large bar which comes with the property.
This property is unique. There is nothing else in Tennant Creek that comes close to being this well preserved. The current owners have owned the property for 21 years and in this time have replaced the iron roof, fixed and replaced the exterior blinds, upgraded the switchboard, installed new fans, refurbished the bathroom....the list goes on. At all times they have been conscious of maintaining the properties colonial look and feel.
The property is currently under consideration for listing as a Heritage property. While previously this may have been seen as an onerous disadvantage new incentives ( if granted) include....75% of rates paid ... and generous grants for property improvements... please see the attached link.
