The home was built in the early 1900s and has been fully renovated throughout in the last two years since the property was purchased by the current owner.

In addition to improving the overall quality and appearance of the interior, some excellent additions have been made outdoors. 

From the street, this home blends in quite easily with those around it. 

A covered veranda, which is fully enclosed, provides entry into the home.

A sitting room is located at the very front of the home, featuring a fireplace and a chandelier. 

Further into the home is another sitting room, which could easily be made into a formal dining room if required. 

The eat-in kitchen sits at the back, overlooking the courtyard, and has been renovated to include a good amount of storage for the size of the home.

There are two bedrooms in the home, both of which are of a generous size and offer high ceilings and a good amount of natural light. 

The bathroom, which doubles as a laundry, has been renovated in a tasteful way that is sympathetic to the age of the property. 

It offers a timber vanity, shower over bath, a toilet and has the unique feature of a lead-light window. 

Bathurst Real Estate agent Jay Cleary said the renovations have transformed the home, but people will appreciate that some original features have been retained. 

“[It’s] a complete transformation inside and they’ve done work structurally to get that right,” he said.

“All the skirts are still there, the fireplaces are still there, the front door, so they’ve tried to maintain the integrity of the home.” 

Outdoors, the property offers a quaint alfresco area that overlooks the pool, while another covered entertaining area connects to it. 

The salt water pool, which is heated and fully fenced, was added by the current owner and will be a godsend in the summer months. 

The rear garden also has established trees and shrubs throughout. 

“It’s a typical CBD block, but it is good because it is low maintenance,” Mr Cleary said. 

In addition to these features, 222 Rankin Street offers Crimsafe screens, a reverse-cycle airconditioner and is walking distance from schools and shops. 

Mr Cleary said the property is well-priced for the area and could suit downsizers, retirees, first home buyers or investors. 

“Affordable in Rankin Street is tough, all centrally located homes really, so to have something under $400,000 [like this property] is hard,” he said.
