52 CLARENCE RYAN AVENUE, WEST KEMPSEY
You will find this shining gem located rather close to West Kempsey shopping and Central Kempsey shopping, yet flood-free and sitting pretty on the hill with beautiful views, this beautiful and solid old-world charmer.
In its day, this home would have been the envy of many, it's grand stature and street presence would have captivated passers-by. Then the wide grand entrance foyer and hallway would have visitors agreeing. Upon the sight of the high ornate ceilings and the hand-crafted timber skirting boards, they then would all nod that this was a special home – and so it makes sense from the local word I've heard that this was the home of Roy Brenton, one of our towns' old great builders. They just don't make them like this anymore.
You will enjoy the flow of the home with the large formal lounge room opening to a large dining room which is just off the sun-filled kitchen and the little enclosed balcony off the dining room which may just have been what they called the smoking room many years ago – where you went to sit quietly and enjoy a smoke and listen to the radio or read the daily newspaper.
To the rear is a beautiful big sunroom taking in all the warm sun from the north – yet another great spot for a day bed or a recliner lounge seat to sit and ponder the day with the dog.
At some later more modern era, an owner has built a substantial BBQ shelter in the back yard, up away from the home I suspect for the teenagers to go disappear too and laze about doing what teenagers do – oh yes, the structure wouldn't take much to wall-in and become a little studio.
Living here makes it very easy to get to town shopping and services, schools and hospital – everything is no more than 1.5km away and really the kids could walk to school. Even the sports fields are just below for a quick afternoon dog run or game of kicks with the kids! A great easy, quiet location.
