51 Fairview Crescent, Kelburn

This three bedroom Edwardian villa espouses the true romantic aspirations of its era - with a twist. Elevated on its sunny site with bush clad views and a surprise water vignette the journey is worth the effort. A garage at street level provides security and storage if required. A set of steps connects to a main pathway servicing the stunning row of period homes on the "sunny side of the street". An option of a path or further steps gives you choice and as you meander your way up, the native bird life, garden and currently flowering Rhododendron will keep you occupied. The period front door opens into an inviting hallway with feature high stud, large architraves and a real sense of elan. The formal lounge with feature gas fireplace and character bay with double hung sash windows is large enough to entertain a crowd. If you require further room the dining/family space spills out into a sheltered brick patio. A "secret" garden allows further privacy and that wee visual vignette of the sea in the distance. The garden plots are ready with edible veggies all within a "hop skip and a jump" from the cottage designed kitchen. This home exudes a European ambience and combines with the high stud, powerful colour palette and original character features to offer contemporary living spaces with chutzpah! Emboldened with a wildly different spirit this nostalgically eclectic home has been woven with visionary thinking to draw you in. Watch out. The heart wants what the heart wants.
