Past the manicured gardens and through the bright yellow feature door lies the cosy retro retreat of 4 Jardine Street, Fairy Meadow.
This three-bedroom home combines the generous proportions and aesthetic charm of an “old-school build” with the convenience of living on a level 575 sqm plot in the heart of an Illawarra “boom suburb”.
The warmth of the timber floorboards, character weatherboards and freshly painted walls complement one of the greatest drawcards of this home – the northern aspect, which is best enjoyed from the sunroom.
“This room will be a standout feature for anyone who visits. It’s absolutely sun-drenched, and the perfect space for entertaining or simply curling up with a good book and a cuppa,” Dignam Real Estate sales agent Adam McMahon says.
“It’s a versatile space that could be a study, hobby room, second living area, or a playroom for the kids, and it can adapt to your family’s evolving needs.”
This space currently incorporates a cosy office space on the side – the ideal working from home environment.
Entertaining will organically spill out from here to the heart of the home – the old-school kitchen, which retains many of its retro features including a distinctive curved feature around the main benchtop and sage green cabinets and tiles.
Its position allows the home chef to whip up dinner while keeping an eye on the kids playing in the garden. It also overlooks the dining and living spaces, so you can be part of the action as you cater for lively gatherings with friends and family.
“The flow of the floorplan has great appeal and this area in particular is a great backdrop for making memories,” Adam says.
Each of the three generous bedrooms is a “blend of comfort and quirky style”, with plush carpets underfoot, built-in cabinetry and ceiling fans.
“One good thing about older homes is that the bedrooms are larger than you tend to find in newer builds, and can become personal retreats where you can relax and unwind,” Adam says.
The large, sun-drenched level backyard is billed as the “crowning jewel” of this home.
The paved area and outdoor dining space are ideal for summer feasts, birthday celebrations, memorable barbecues or just kicking the footy about with the kids, amid the sweet scent of frangipani trees and the gentle rustle of bamboo.
“It’s private and clinches the property’s status as being very family friendly,” Adam says. “That said, given its position at the end of a cul-de-sac that’s a mixed use of residential, commercial and light industrial, it’s in a handy spot for investors as well.”
This property invites you to embrace a lifestyle of convenience and adventure, with beaches, shops, supermarkets and cafes just a short stroll away and easy access to the heart of Wollongong.
Families will appreciate the easy walk to Towradgi Public School, short drive to Corrimal High School and access to public transport. Tertiary students will love the proximity to the University of Wollongong’s Innovation Campus, just a short bus ride away.
“Fairy Meadow is one of the Illawarra’s boom suburbs for a reason,” Adam says. “We’ve seen great demand and a lot of capital gains but from an affordability standpoint it’s one of those great pockets where people can still get good value for their money.”
The price guide for this home is $1,100,000 to $1,200,000. For more information, call Adam McMahon of Dignam Real Estate on 4267 5377.
