Classic 1970s gem

Offered for sale for the first time, this one owner home is a wonderful opportunity to acquire a classic 1970s architectural gem.

In the early 1970s, Fasham Johnson set a new benchmark for the Australian family home, creating innovative designs where natural light and a connection to the surroundings were forefront of their philosophy.

The building’s orientation was also a key factor employing passive energy principles which remain relevant today.

This way of thinking influenced many builders and architects then and into the future, including number 82 Charles Street Warragul.

Extensive glazing throughout the home creates a seamless connection to the surrounding gardens whilst filling the interior with light.

Original raked ceilings, timber and textured walls give warmth and character. A refurbished kitchen and split system air conditioning are more recent updates.

Positioned on a huge 1,377m2 allotment, the three bedroom home is sited back from the street for privacy.

The thoughtful layout includes the main bedroom with an ensuite, home office or fourth bedroom, formal sitting and dining room, central kitchen, family living and meals area.

A partially covered terrace, adorned with a gorgeous display of wisteria, together with a large paved patio caters for outdoor entertaining.

Further improvements include a double carport URL, workshop/studio and a lined garden shed, both of which have power and a concrete floor, plus a smaller potting/ storage shed.

There is also side access to the rear of the property to store a trailer or van.

Landscaped gardens are watered by an irrigation system and are a mix of natives, ornamental trees, manicured hedging, a multitude of roses and flowering plants, creating a private and tranquil backdrop.

Located off the front entry is the home office, main bedroom suite and the formal sitting and dining room.

Clerestory windows in the dining room enhance the light and airy ambience.

A remote controlled gas log fire effectively warms the room whereas the original fireplace, no longer in use, could be reinstated.

Split system air conditioning here and in the home office also assist with climate control.

Adjoining is the kitchen, meals and family living area.

Updated soft close cabinetry and stunning granite bench tops have given the kitchen a stylish overhaul.

A four burner gas cooktop, wall oven, two drawer dishwasher, double pantry, substantial breakfast bar and a ceiling fan are additional highlights.

Above the sink, a large window overlooks the terrace and side yard.

Sliding glass doors from the family room and formal sitting room lead outside to the terrace.

The two secondary bedrooms, family bathroom, separate toilet and the laundry are positioned down a hall from the meals area.

Inbuilt robes are found in all of the three bedrooms, including two sets of double robes in the main bedroom and there is a deep linen press outside the laundry.

Both bathrooms have a refurbished vanity unit with a granite top, the family bathroom also includes a bath with an overhead shower.

The property is located in a quiet, established neighbourhood on the north side of Warragul, convenient to the primary school, St Paul’s Anglican Grammar, Brooker Park walking trails, playground and tennis courts.

A convenience store and the town bus stop are just around the corner.

Classic architectural design, privacy and space, number 82 Charles Street Warragul is a true delight.
