19TH CENTURY FARMHOUSE TO FIND ITS NEW CUSTODIAN - OFFERS CLOSE 5PM SUNDAY 27TH MARCH
Prior to the development of the area behind the hospital, ‘farmhouse’ took pride of place, high and dry, within its own acreage. Steeped in history, with a real ‘out of town’ feel, 112 Crown Street is one of Grafton’s oldest homes and is estimated to be more than 120 years of age (there is no heritage listing).
The block is a fair residential size at 713m2 (approx.) and in the last several years, the whole backyard has been transformed with the removal of the old original shed and a brand-new Clarence Valley shed being erected. Walls were insulated, lined, plastered and the power was upgraded with provisions for an air conditioner. Light fittings, fans, power points and even and aerial was added to service the TV. A lock up room has been fitted into the shed for the valuables and the carport off the shed had electric roller blinds installed to block out the western sun. There is still space for the vehicle if preferred and remote roller doors high enough for the 4WD. We will declare that the carport off the home needs repair or removal (suggested in a recent pest and building report). There is plenty of space at the front of the shed should you want to add a double carport (STCA).
This expansive home has had a new roof installed alongside a 4kw solar system. The original, wide, and very beautiful floorboards took their first professional polish around 5 years ago and given the age of the wood it was an extensive task. The ceilings are at least 10ft high, the hallway graced with an arch, most rooms are oversized and have just taken fresh paint. The bathroom was completely stripped back to the bearers 2 years ago and rebuilt - all work has been completed by professional tradespersons.
New blinds have been installed to all rooms, new fans, new light fittings, and new floor coverings to the areas that were once extensions or enclosed verandas. The ducted air conditioning was recently serviced with a new fan installed. The dishwasher is just a few years old and the oven near new.
The floor plan is unconventional however it offers extra space for further development. In essence there are 2 queen/king sized bedrooms at the front, a large double room down the hall (a great opportunity to add an ensuite & WIR), and on the western side there are 3 smaller rooms with dual access that currently act as a 4th bedroom, linen storage, and a games room.
The living room is massive as it is literally 2 rooms combined (a wall was once removed). This room is internal making it really snug with the wood fire heater. During the day the sun brightens the room through the large sky-light and there is a rumpus room/second sitting room towards the rear. The kitchen is solid with stone bench tops, soft closing drawers and a walk-in pantry, giving access to the Alfresco area that has just been upgraded and graced with an all-weather fan. The laundry is under roof and provides space for the second toilet.
The home is offered in great condition with solid, hardwood timber bones. With a change of circumstances, we are now looking for new owners to live out the privilege of owning ‘farmhouse’.
