“Oohh, look at that view”
Tucked away in a quiet culdesac in North Bellingen, this is a very comfortable, livable house.
Walk to everything: to Bellingen's vibrant cafes, to the river, to the forest, to the corner store.
3 bedroom house, with partially converted 1 bedroom separate entrance flat downstairs.
No maintenance front yard, and a fully fenced backyard food growers paradise of established fruit trees, vegetable garden, chicken pen and space for playing with the family. Flood free location.

Upstairs has 3 comfortable light filled bedrooms, all with large built in robes.
Polished timber floors throughout.
NBN is fast and reliable. It's FTTC with FTTP upgrade available for just $200 (Launtel)
There's plenty of storage. As well as the bedroom built in robes, there is generous cupboard space in the kitchen, plus a hallway linen cupboard.
This is a solid brick house. It's built well. It has 'good bones'. It's insulated. It's very temperature stable. Cool inside in summer and easy to heat when needed in winter with the cosy wood fire heater.
One of the many joys is the reliable afternoon breeze. It's a rare and prized feature for Bellingen and this is one of the few Bellingen houses that catches it. It's perfect for taming humid days and amazing for drying the washing.
Enjoy a lazy cuppa on the large covered verandah with cafe blinds facing east over the hills. Admire the sunrise view, marvel at the birds, praise the breeze.
The open plan lounge and real timber kitchen make a sensible family area. There's ample bench space to prepare meals. Cooking is on the electric stove and using the quality Bosche oven.
At the end of the day, enjoy a bath!
This is a solid, comfortable, livable house as is, built in the early 1980's. Or if you are inclined, it's a blank slate to update to your heart's content.

A second income?
Downstairs is partially converted to a separate entrance one bedroom flat, with a second shower and loo, a fourth bedroom, and second kitchen / lounge area. Downstairs has a concrete floor, front and rear glass sliding doors, kitchen bench, sink, lights, power points and plumbing all done. For completion it needs general waterproofing (it was built as a garage) and sound proofing, a heater and some painting and it's ready as a rental.
