What a story this iconic heritage home could tell. Built in the 1880's and set in beautiful rambling gardens, The Gables offers an enviable way of life, reminiscent of a bygone era. Spacious and tastefully updated in keeping with her charming character, the next chapter in this story is just waiting for you to write.
Built over three levels, period features present throughout in ceiling roses, wrap around timber picture rails, colourful leadlight and exposed Huon pine floor boards in the three upper level bedrooms. Original banisters and staircases are all reminders of the history on show.
The entry level presents a master bedroom; the comfortable formal lounge area features a delightful bay window and flows through to the kitchen via sliding leadlight doors. The well-appointed, solid timber kitchen opens onto an elevated, spacious timber deck and glassed porch area providing year round enjoyment of the magnificent garden outlook. Combined with a dining niche, this warm, sunny room has floor to ceiling windows framing the peaceful rural views. A second living zone stems from this kitchen area, currently used for an office, but could easily accommodate a formal dining room option if desired. An updated bathroom, separate toilet and a separate shower room complete this level.
Downstairs houses the laundry with external access and plenty of storage space, together with the single car garage that can take advantage of the internal access to the upper levels via the original staircase. A second entrance on the opposite side of the house provides a carport with undercover entry to the home.
In the inviting garden setting, meandering pathways lead to pockets of lawn and sheltered paved garden seating areas. Wisteria arbours, flowering ornamentals, fruit trees and a hen house; as well as access to the creek on the rear boundary convince you to relax and unwind in this idyllic setting. This property will delight the period home enthusiast, so why not look at writing your history here?
