Redesign Your Life In Chelmer

This 1950’s Chelmer home is more than meets the eye. It not only offers endless opportunities to continue the Colonial theme renovation of the once ‘Post War’ style, but offers a larger than average land size should you prefer to construct your new dream home. Delightful 19 Glenwood Street nestled on a flat Low-Density Residential 607sqm allotment resides in the highly sought-after blue-chip suburb of Chelmer.

A welcoming and quiet tree lined street will greet you upon arrival, whilst a charming expansive veranda stretches across the front almost touching the side fencing making full use of the extra wide allotment. Ring the bell as you move onto the covered veranda of this very private Hi-set home and what is immediately evident is the timber joinery of French doors and windows made to feature by the accompanying hardwood weatherboards. This spacious decking provides you the perfect north-facing aspect which overlooks the peaceful street beyond – a priceless spot to sip your morning coffee on a sunny winters morning as you watch the little ones play or reading space on a breezy summer afternoon.

The open plan air-conditioned living and dining room with decorative plaster cornicing also unveil classic hardwood floors that complement the colonial timber joinery and when all opened in the warmer months; allow for flow through interaction between the outside veranda.

You will enjoy cooking as the functional kitchen space has been equipped with stainless steel gas hot plates, electric under bench oven, range hood and dishwasher placed within timber look cabinetry with breakfast bar. Connecting to this is a study area which could be used as a breakfast room and is kept bright by large light-filled windows that overlook a lush green backyard under an attractive tree canopy.
The two sizable bedrooms offer built-in robes, ceiling fans, along with stylish plantation shutters. The main bedroom has air-conditioning and French doors that open out onto the front veranda.
