This 1890's home has been fully renovated with fresh paint, new carpets, concrete stumps, fully insulated, re-plastered, re-plumbed and rewired. It exudes elegance with all the period features you could wish for including a splayed staircase leading to a bullnose return verandah with iron lace and jarrah decking. Sash Windows, lead light surrounds, 12' ceilings, ceiling roses, decorative cornice and large architraves. A traditional entry hall with pendant lights, Victorian ash floors, timber fretwork and corbelled arch.

The other rooms are serviced by a separate family bathroom with a refurbished claw foot bath and yet another oversized shower. The large laundry is just what you need if you have a family to suit.

Double French doors lead to a rustic redgum decking area for perfect alfresco entertaining with a fire pit to really set the scene.
A large second living area is complete with it's own wood heater and a study nook. A recharge station with NBN high speed internet and a roof mounted Telstra signal booster provides excellent mobile service.
Other attributes are a 2 storey cubby with swings and enclosed slide. 18x9m shed with concrete floor, power, built in shelving, wood heater, TV and phone points. A second double garage (6x6m) with concrete floor. Solar hot water system. Ample water provided by the large dam and 90,000L of rain water storage.
