Tucked away on a quiet street, with a timeless design and a flexible floorplan, 3/37 Ipima Street in Braddon is a long-held four-bedroom, two-bathroom home cherished by the same owner since it was bought off-the-plan more than 20 years ago. Taking a look inside, it’s easy to see why.
Ideal for a downsizer, young couple or growing family, this townhouse has a flexible floorplan, with the master bedroom, living spaces and powder room downstairs, while upstairs there are three bedrooms and a bathroom.
“The floor plan is a big plus; it’s very well set out and adjustable,” Independent Property Group agent Phil Smith says.
“The upstairs is perfect for kids who want their own space, especially for teenagers or guests, and one of the bedrooms could be converted into a media room, a study, really anything you could think of.
“The main bedroom is on the ground floor and is beautifully appointed with a walk-in closet and an ensuite.”
The downstairs has separate living and dining rooms, creating great areas to lounge and eat while making sure that everyone in the house can find their own room to do their own thing.
The kitchen connects to the dining room and has a sleek, timeless design, ample storage and looks out through the dining room into the courtyard.
The living areas benefit from a northerly aspect and seamlessly open into the home’s star attraction – the courtyard.
The courtyard is truly something special, especially for a home so close to town. It’s private, leafy and it gets the morning sun. The courtyard is easily the centrepiece of the house, acting as the heart of the living space, perfect for entertaining, but also acting as a great spot to quietly read or sit with a cup of tea.
“The outdoor space is really stunning. It’s been covered with a great glass pergola, so when it rains, you still get to enjoy it. It’s the largest courtyard in the complex, and it’s so private. The owner remembers spending many great afternoons and weekends there with friends and family or relaxing by herself,” Independent Property Group agent Narelle Casey says.
“The home is a standout in the complex and the courtyard does so much to make it special.”
The courtyard is low maintenance, too.
The greenery is gorgeous, but the owner doesn’t have to put much effort into it, making it perfect for a downsizer looking to cut down on time spent in maintaining their home or a young family that wants to focus on other things.
“The home has been beautifully maintained, so it’s move-in ready, but it is also a blank canvas. An owner wanting to add their own touch would have no issues making it their own,” Narelle says.
The home’s location perfectly strikes the balance between proximity to the city and the peace and silence that homeowners search high and low for.
“There are great schools, the Ainslie shops and the best of Braddon’s shopping and dining on Lonsdale Street are within walking distance, but there’s also light rail and public transport nearby if you wanted to go further afield. Everything is at your fingertips, but the home, especially the courtyard, is still so peaceful,” Phil says.
The home excels at simplicity and the design speaks for itself, while also boasting plenty of features that make daily living a breeze, like an Infinity hot water system, gas ducted heating, evaporative cooling, ample storage throughout, a double garage and a basement that’s perfect for storage or hobbies.
With a stunning outdoor entertaining space, flexible floor plan to suit any family and an unbeatable location, 3/37 Ipima Street is a special home that has kept its current owner happy for two decades.
3/37 Ipima Street in Braddon will go to auction on 12 April at 9:45 am.
