Grand Proportions, Endless Potential
Set on a generous 539sqm block in the heart of Annerley, 121 Waterton Street is a spacious, recently refurbished pre-war home that’s ready to move into and enjoy right now. Beyond its comfortable, neat presentation, the home carries genuine history and character – many of its original 1920s features remain safely tucked away beneath later additions, cladding and paint, offering a bonus for anyone who might one day like to bring them back to their former glory.
An entrance hall or possible mudroom welcomes you into the home and leads to an internal staircase. Upstairs, a light-filled sitting room or second lounge sits beside the first of five bedrooms, creating a wonderful space for a home office or home-based business. From here, an original arched doorway opens into an enormous “ballroom-sized” central living room, complete with high ceilings, that truly needs to be seen to be believed. Four additional bedrooms open from this central space, each generously proportioned and filled with beautiful natural light.
Original casement windows and solid timber internal doors add even more character to this remarkable grand old lady. At the rear, an exceptionally spacious eat-in kitchen offers room for a family-sized dining table, breakfast bar and an abundance of storage and bench space. A huge bathroom and laundry completes the upper level, giving families all the room they could need.
Downstairs is a versatile, non-legal-height area comprising two additional rooms, a bathroom, kitchenette and rumpus room. It could provide extra space for extended family or a home-based business, subject to the relevant approvals and requirements. There is also the opportunity to re-instate the doorway from this entrance so that the upstairs and downstairs are once again connected by the internal staircase. Outside, established gardens surround the home, while a large garage at the end of the driveway provides excellent storage and workspace.
