'The Millington House'

Known for its distinctive black oiled boards and iconic Norfolk Island pines, The Millington House has belonged to the same family for almost a century.

Built in 1925 by Harold Millington for his wife and three daughters, it's a stone's throw from the river and five minutes from the ocean beach that bears his name.

The house captures daylight from every compass point into spacious rooms that still have their original features.
There is a private back garden for dining alfresco.

Such an historic home and commanding position on the Prosser River appears on the market perhaps once in a hundred year . . .

On a commanding 587m2* corner block, traditional interiors and period elements reveal glimpses of this home's historic past.

Despite the age of the residence, it has been updated with modern amenities.
The kitchen is a room with a view and one can almost smell the century's worth of delicious baked goods that have been lovingly crafted here. It boasts gas-cooking facilities and a dishwasher.
A sunroom with substantial views is placed to take advantage of the northerly and westerly sunshine which streams through the windows, making a warm and inviting space for a library, study or playroom.
Providing you with flexible everyday living options is an expansive dining/living room and three large bedrooms, with the option to convert one of the bedrooms into a secondary living zone if desired.

The property is services by a renovated bathroom with shower-over-bath, toilet and vanity.
Other highlights of the property include:
- Split system air-conditioning & several fireplaces
- External laundry
- A large 6.8m* x 2.8m* shed with power and fittings
- Covered outdoor areas to entertain
- Fully fenced and surrounded by landscaped gardens
- Off-street parking for three vehicles and a 6m boat
Orford is a riverside village approximately an hour's drive northeast of Hobart. The area is renowned for its protected bay and Prosser River, with quick access by boat to Maria Island National Park.

The property is adjacent to the river, and is also a short walk to local parks, school and the town centre where you'll find a supermarket, news agency, post office and cafes.

Location makes light work of your daily meander to the beach front, and the sounds of the waves lapping at Millington's Beach can be heard from your new home.
Built with solid bones and proving its ability to stand the test of time, this residence is ready for new owners to add their personal flair.

This is a unique opportunity to buy an historic home by the water.

An inspection is a must to truly appreciate this iconic home.

Offers closing Friday 27th May at 12 noon.
