Harden’s across-the-creek-twin, Murrumburrah, is also full of old-world charm and history, hosting, among its attractions, the famous statue of Australian war horse ‘Bill the Bastard’.<img alt="51-bathurst-street-harden-nsw-2587-104017-image-0-20240704084658347804-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/51-bathurst-street-harden-nsw-2587-104017-imag.width-800_Bb8CwtC.jpg" width="800">Sales agent at <a href="https://zango.com.au/agencies/flemings-property-services/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Flemings Property Services</a>, <a href="/agents/rosie-fairfield-smith/">Rosie Fairfield-Smith</a>, has called Harden home for most of her life.“Number 51 is a real character home,” she says.“I love the coloured glass on the front door and the worn paver paths that lead you to it. You’re greeted with old-style country charm and loads of original features as soon as you step inside, including weatherboard walls, high ceilings and timber floors.”The front half of this property, built in 1912, dates back to Harden’s station days, with three generous bedrooms with hardwood floors and one of two living rooms, as well as the home’s original timber-framed fireplace.<img alt="51-bathurst-street-harden-nsw-2587-104017-image-0-20240704084653376718-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/51-bathurst-street-harden-nsw-2587-104017-imag.width-800_CLx0thD.jpg" width="800">Visitors then head through into the extension, lovingly built by the current owners, to enjoy a light and airy, open-plan kitchen, dining and living area.“There’s another fireplace here, which works together with ceiling fans and a split system air conditioner to keep the heart of the home comfortable throughout the year,” Rosie says.“The current owners worked hard to add a touch of modernity to the home while preserving its historic charm. They’re headed for the coastal life but are certainly sad to leave, having lived here for many years.”The extension also features a contemporary bathroom with a Euro-style laundry, oversized shower and luxurious freestanding bath next to the spacious master bedroom with a built-in wardrobe.<img alt="51-bathurst-street-harden-nsw-2587-104017-image-0-20240704084654888825-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/51-bathurst-street-harden-nsw-2587-104017-imag.width-800_xQaEjY5.jpg" width="800">Double French doors lead from the living area out onto the west-facing deck, which conjures up visions of afternoon relaxation and evening entertainment.“It’s so easy to imagine sitting down to enjoy a cup of tea while overlooking the peaceful garden or gathering around the little fire pit with friends,” Rosie says.“The garden itself is lush and green, with plenty of space for the kids to play in. There are a few spots that would be just right for a kitchen garden, chicken coop or water feature, and there’s also a garden shed and garage for workshopping or extra storage.”Number 51 is perfectly suited to a growing family, retiree couple or relocator looking for a gentle country lifestyle in a town where everyone is closely connected.51 Bathurst Street, Harden is for sale from $545,000.<a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/51-bathurst-street-harden-nsw-2587-104017/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">View the full listing.</a>Article originally written and published by <a href="https://the-riotact.com/gorgeous-1912-cottage-ready-to-welcome-new-owners-into-peaceful-heart-of-harden/786919" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">the RiotACT.</a>

Doing that will make people like you and come to you for their residential needs.”Chris is now in his second year of being a Sales Consultant at Luton and specialises in the areas of <a href="https://zango.com.au/research/suburb/amaroo-act-2914/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Amaroo</a> and <a href="https://zango.com.au/research/suburb/palmerston-act-2913/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Palmerston</a>.When asked about a memorable sale, Chris did not hesitate to tell the story behind 25 Beazley Crescent in <a href="https://zango.com.au/research/suburb/calwell-act-2905/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Calwell</a>.“I had family friends I used to go skiing with who wanted me to sell their property. After one week on the market we had 50 groups through and achieved a result well above the asking price,” he said.“The buyers were first home buyers and we so excited because it ticked all the boxes for them.”“And at the same time, my family friends were so thrilled with the experience and helping them out was really special to me.”About 17 months into being a Sales Consultant, Chris epitomises the younger generation of real estate agents who are hungry for a successful career.Reflecting on this drive for success, Chris puts it down to his love for sport and people.“I used to play a lot of competitive sport and I don’t do a lot of sitting around,” he said.“I love socialising and you will often find me with friends and with a beverage of some sort in my hand.”Chris Fredericks is certainly a name that will be cemented in the property industry for years to come.
