Step into a rare blend of history and contemporary comfort with this meticulously restored former Kimberley State School, dating back to 1897. Set on a beautifully landscaped and fully fenced property, this remarkable home offers the perfect balance of elegance, functionality, and self-sufficiency.
Just off the formal entrance you are welcomed into the stunning master suite, featuring the original pressed tin ceiling, a spacious walk-in robe, and an ensuite complete with a bath, double vanity, walk-in shower, and separate toilet. Two additional bedrooms provide ample space for family or guests, and there is also a dedicated office space that could easily be converted into a fourth bedroom if desired.
The heart of the home is the expansive open-plan living, dining, and kitchen area, complemented by an additional lounge and office. Warmth and comfort are assured with three reverse-cycle air conditioning units, and two Jindarah wood heaters (in the living room and master suite).
The kitchen is equipped with premium SMEG appliances, including a 6-burner gas top cooker, electric oven, dishwasher, and LED rangehood.
This unique property also offers versatile living arrangements, making it ideal for multi-generational living or an Airbnb opportunity, with the option to section off part of the home for guest accommodation while maintaining privacy.
