7 Ellen Street South Grafton, NSW, 2460

A Home Full of Character, Craftsmanship & Surprises

Some homes have a little personality. This one has it in abundance.

Built in 1983 by Rex Betteridge, 7 Ellen Street is a home with a story to tell. Featuring extensive use of beautiful red cedar sourced from Coombadjha Station, this distinctive property showcases craftsmanship, character and thoughtful construction that set it apart from the ordinary.

Tucked away in a quiet, no-through street, the home brings together the warmth of natural timber, stylish modern renovations and sweeping countryside views, creating a lifestyle that's as appealing as it is unique.

Step inside and you'll immediately appreciate the soaring ceilings, exposed timber beams and beautiful timber features throughout. These original elements have been thoughtfully complemented by contemporary updates, creating a welcoming interior that balances the home's distinctive character with a fresh, modern feel. Insulation throughout adds to its year-round comfort.

The kitchen has undergone a substantial makeover, bringing a contemporary feel to the heart of the home. This impressive transformation complements the property's original timber features while creating a stylish and practical space for everyday living.

Flowing from the kitchen, the north-facing family room is filled with natural light and enjoys beautiful views across the surrounding countryside. It's the perfect place to relax, entertain or simply take in the peaceful outlook.

Both bedrooms are generously proportioned, with the main featuring extensive built-in wardrobes and additional storage. The second bedroom also includes built-ins and enjoys the same picturesque rural outlook.

The renovated bathroom is another standout, showcasing pressed tin finishes and a striking statement basin. A separate toilet with its own basin continues the home's distinctive styling, while air conditioning and electric blackout shutters provide additional comfort and privacy.

Outside, established gardens create a private, low-maintenance setting. The property also benefits from an expertly designed drainage system, reflecting the attention to detail that went into its original construction.

The impressive 16.5m x 3m carport provides covered parking for up to four vehicles or an excellent space for entertaining. A full-length driveway offers convenient access to the rear, with additional garden and wood sheds providing plenty of storage.

One of the property's biggest surprises is underneath the home, where a substantial 14m x 3.8m workshop and rumpus area, complete with power and water, offers incredible flexibility for hobbies, projects, storage, a teenager's retreat or a home workspace. There is also potential to utilise this space as a third bedroom, subject to council approval.

From its locally sourced red cedar and thoughtful 1983 construction to its beautifully renovated kitchen and stunning rural outlook, 7 Ellen Street offers a combination of history, individuality and modern comfort that's increasingly difficult to find.

This is not your typical two-bedroom home, and with the additional flexibility downstairs, that's exactly what makes it so appealing.
