Belmont 65 Francis Street

Belmont is about character and convenience and those two qualities couldn't be reflected any better than in this traditional clinker brick home on Francis Street. Right in the heart of the best location that Belmont has to offer, the convenience of being able to walk to everything is enhanced by the gorgeous renovation of a home that is filled with original features as well as popular modern themes.

Behind the screen of hedged pittosporums, a quaint front courtyard is flooded with afternoon sun and perfect for a relaxed cup of tea, but if it is still a little chilly during the cooler months, the sunroom that doubles as an entrance vestibule could be used as a comfortable alternative. Into the hall, the timber floors greet you with a warmth that is only found in period homes with the classic layout of master bedroom and living room extending either side. The master, complete with original double hung windows, is bright and sunny and boasts both BIR's and a charming ensuite shower room. The living, opposite, has a warm and comforting feel with its deep colour and open fire place.

Bedroom 2 enjoys a garden outlook and is also fitted with built in storage, as does the third toward the rear of the home. The central kitchen / dining area shows how well old and new can come together with the customary u-shape now fitted with contemporary white joinery beautifully accented by glass splash backs and overhead storage.

The family bathroom and laundry are both functional and sleek looking with mosaic tile features and a handy placement for easy access by both the family and guests. A study overlooking the rear garden is the perfect place to keep an eye on children's homework and conducting household business, but it is the large informal living area that spills into the first of many outdoor entertaining zones that really captures your attention.

You would be pleased enough with the expanse of deck through the family room's glass doors but imagine your surprise when you wander down the steps, past the garden's feature wall, to find a semi-enclosed 'winter room' at the rear of the garage... with another decked alfresco beyond it - talk about outdoor living! The best part is that, rather than impinging on the garden, these areas compliment it perfectly and invite you to linger for hours enjoying your very private surrounds.

Truly delightful with a long list of winning features, it is not difficult at all to imagine yourself, your family and your furnishings very happily residing in this home.
