9 Bentley Street, Hamersley

Occupying a tranquil and elevated position across the road from beautiful Bentley Burgess Reserve, this character-laden 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom brick-and-tile home is as solid as they come and boasts plenty of original features, as well as ample scope for you to continue to add your own personal modern touches throughout, where you see fit.

A tiled and raked entry verandah is just one of the places where you can sit and relax at the front of the property, taking in the splendid tree-lined parkland views on offer – no matter what the time of day. Inside, a carpeted lounge room is graced by soaring high raked ceilings, charming brickwork, split-system air-conditioning, a gas bayonet for heating, a built-in “retro” bar and a stunning combination of leafy park and inland vistas.

The raised central dining room is neatly tiled, as is the adjacent open-plan family and kitchen area – with a breakfast bar providing the perfect space for casual meals. In fact, the modern kitchen itself has been impressively renovated to include sparkling stone bench tops, a walk-in corner pantry, double sinks, a stainless-steel range hood, stainless-steel DeLonghi five-burner gas-cooktop and oven appliances and a stainless-steel Asko dishwasher for good measure.

All three bedrooms are carpeted for comfort and are generous in their proportions, inclusive of a larger front master suite where split-system air-conditioning and lush green views to wake up to are complemented by built-in side-by-side “his and hers” double wardrobe (with over-head storage cupboards) and an intimate ensuite bathroom, comprising of a rain shower, vanity, toilet and heat lamps. The minor sleeping quarters down the side of the house are made up of second and third bedrooms – with split-system air-conditioners and floor-to-wall-to-ceiling built-in robes and storage cupboards, a practical main family bathroom with a shower, separate bathtub and heat lamps, seemingly-endless built-in hallway storage cupboards, a separate second toilet and an updated laundry with heaps of extra storage and bench space.

Outdoors and off the family room sits a delightful patio area, right next to a fully-enclosed and protected alfresco for further year-round entertaining. Framed by a stunning frangipani and a greenhouse in the corner of the backyard is a lovely lawn area, ideal for kids and pets to run around on – when not at the park, of course.

There are plenty of parking options along both the front verge and driveway, with double gates revealing drive-through access into a large double lock-up garage-come-workshop shed at the rear of the property – complete with three-phase power, a built-in work bench and mezzanine storage. A single carport to the side of here is perfect for a third vehicle to be parked under cover, if not utilised as an additional patio for entertaining.

Only a short stroll separates you and your loved from the freeway overpass leading you across to Carine Regional Open Space parklands, whilst the likes of Glendale Primary School and Warwick Train Station are also nearby, as are the Hamersley Leisure Centre, Warwick Grove Shopping Centre, Warwick Senior High School, community sporting facilities, Reid Highway, the freeway itself, glorious swimming beaches and so much more. What a spot!
