This magnificent stone home is character through and through C1872. Only a short walk into the main street of Clare and in a prime location, this substantial home oozes appeal. Located on the corner of Mill & Union Streets, the home started life in September 1872 as the Mill Street School Clare for a cost of 572 pounds. Major renovations to the home occurred in the late 1980s which included the second storey, atrium/solarium style area with spa and a substantial 4 bay cellar for the future owners to enjoy a glass or two while enjoying their wine collection and a four-car garage.
Enter the home where you are greeted with the formal entrance area, adjoining to the right is the casual family dining area with split system air conditioner and potbelly fire. To the left is the indoor solarium/atrium room with gable clear ceiling, spa, and access to the expansive 4 bay cellar with lighting. The home boasts a galley style kitchen which features walk-in pantry, dishwasher, and plumbed fridge alcove. Fabulous preparation area and storage areas, well suited for cooking up a storm. There is a spacious formal dining room with open fireplace and very spacious ornate living area with slow combustion heating.
Take the staircase to the 2nd level landing. The top floor features three bedrooms an open gallery/study area all serviced by the ducted evaporative air conditioning. The large main bedroom encompasses a parent's retreat, plumbed for kitchenette, this area has a glass wall separating the bedroom and retreat, and a very spacious ensuite featuring shower, floor to ceiling tiles, bath toilet, bidet, and vanity area. The main bathroom is adjacent to the second and third bedroom. This bathroom features a shower, bath, toilet, and vanity area. The main bathroom and ensuite have heated ceilings.
The home has been designed to include a lift, but this has not been realised.
The formal original entrance leads you onto a veranda running the length of the home with westerly views over the township of Clare and a perfect seating area for you to enjoy one of Clare Valleys' finest.
Outside are extensive established gardens, 2 x 5,000-gallon water tanks plus a workshop with 3 phase power. All set on 1170m2 of land. Drive around driveway, plenty of rooms for parking cars, boats, caravans, or the like. Drive into your 4-car garage with remote roller door.
This beautiful character home also has 24 solar panels (6.3kw). Located within the home are the 3 electric hot water services, reverse cycle split air conditioning on the ground level, ducted evaporative air conditioning on the top level, 2 full bathrooms, 3 toilets and fabulous heating and cooling throughout.
There is much, much more than meets the eye.
Truly a special property, grand in most ways but without the fuss. If you are looking for a character stone home that has something different to offer, then you must inspect this property.
