Settling on the riverside suburb of Lorn, with its proximity to the well know café strip this stunning heritage home makes an impact from the moment you first spy the impressive Federation Façade. Complete with elaborate timer fretwork, leadlight windows, timber shingles and a bulls-eye window, welcome home to 13 Lorn St, Lorn.
The six-inch original entrance floorboards make an instant impact and set the scene for the detail that has gone into the whole home. Honouring old world craftsmanship and modern sensibility, the home is relaxed however, it feels exceptional thanks to considered details and beautiful materials and finishes.
In addition to the formal lounge room, a much-loved games room is positioned perfectly at the front of the home to contain the bouts of laughter and the good natured ruckus of family games nights.
Situated in a large zone close to the kitchen, the lounge has an air of relaxed elegance thanks to a timeless neutral palette and architectural detailing. An exquisite chandelier lights up the ornate patterned ceiling. Styling a home is like putting together a beautiful outfit, the design process is about combining colours, patterns, and textures to create a beautiful space and it has been done faultlessly here.
The kitchen has an all-in approach, allowing space for everyone to prepare meals if they wish and a breakfast bar built into the stone bench top really really defines the space. The adjacent dining zone provides the perfect setting for everyday and more formal entertaining.
A neutral pallet creates a sense of luxury and indulgence in the upstairs master suite and contrasts the greenery of the rural outlook revealed by expanses of glass. When spring arrives, the current homeowners love to open the French doors and spill out onto the veranda where they savour the sunshine and drink in the views; it’s so peaceful and relaxing, looking out over the open green space.
Downstairs and a second master bedroom, complete with walk-in-robe and ensuite, is joined by two more bedrooms and a gym with adjoining playroom or wine cellar. Multigenerational families will love this design which allows time together and facilitates spaces to be apart.
There are some lovely outdoor living spaces to entertain on a large scale or more intimately, so many different places to relax. Long summer days are spent in the pool, dining alfresco, or catching up with neighbours for drinks. It will take a lot to get the family to leave this inviting home.
If it appears the dramatically reimagined heritage home ticks every box for the perfect family pad, it’s no illusion; poolside BBQ’s, early morning swims and late-night dips; having a swimming pool in your backyard is the very definition of the great Australian dream.
You are going to love the proximity to both the shops and cafes of the village of Lorn, everything is within walking distance and there’s a real community feel to the area. You know you’ve won the life lottery when Icky Sticky is your corner store!
This stunningly renovated period adobe is as much an heirloom as home, a celebration of heritage, love, and the enduring warmth of family.
