Set amongst the hills on 1.31 hectares (3.2 acres), this lifestyle property oozes charm and offers plenty of scope to live and enjoy the serenity that is Mylor.
If you want to get away from the hustle and bustle, but still live within easy reach of the CBD and local shopping, then this is it. With three separate buildings, this land holding offers perfect “country living”.
The main dwelling is a fabulous circa 1920’s home, which combines the charm of the old with modern renovations and large extension, all sympathetic to its origins and offering many of today’s comforts.
The converted stable has original stonework, timber flooring, split system air conditioning, ceiling fans, a large living area, separate kitchen, laundry and bathroom plus a huge master bedroom. A great opportunity to perhaps consider your entry into Air B&B or simply use as a guest house for family and friends.
As you enter the property with its dry-stone wall feature driveway, you are greeted by a beautiful freestanding "Artists" studio, offering another substantial and usable space. This large timber lined room, complete with split system air-conditioning and plenty of built in shelving, could perhaps be an office, another guest bedroom, games or rumpus room, and with its own outside timber deck a great entertaining space.
For rainy days and dirty boots, you may enter the main home via the "mud " room or alternatively the original front door or through the French doors which lead directly into the large extension. The extension enjoys a gourmet kitchen, family and dining, all with fabulous views of the property and the converted stables. A superb verandah and deck surround the rear, offering a peaceful place to entertain and admire the grand old Oak tree, offering plenty of shade and a feast for the eyes.
The new addition has solid Jarrah timber flooring, ceiling fan, split system heating and cooling, quality blinds and a kitchen boasting feature stone and Jarrah timber bench tops, stainless steel Ariston electric oven with gas hob, and a walk-in butler’s pantry.
The original section of the home is built from rendered rubble stone and retains many of its features. The original entry leads through to the sitting room, with a combustion wood heater, wool carpet and Baltic timber flooring. The 4 bedrooms are all of a good size, with the master having pure wool carpet, ceiling fan, built in robes and a country style ensuite.
Bedrooms two, three and four all have the original Baltic flooring, and each have ceiling fans, with bedroom two also having built in robes. The updated bathroom complete with its claw foot bath blends in perfectly, with a separate WC a bonus.
The ample near flat land, complimented with well-established deciduous trees, a large, raised bed vegetable garden, fruit trees and a chicken coop all adds to your country lifestyle.
With no chemical spraying over the last 22 years, the separate paddocks, orchard and garden are all organically controlled, with the paddocks offering plenty of space for horses and livestock. The ample water tanks, bore and dam provide fresh drinking water and irrigation, with an aerobic wastewater treatment system maintaining the "green" approach to sustainable living.
A great family home, only 2 kms from Mylor township and its famous General Store and café, local primary schools and a short drive to Hahndorf, Aldgate or Stirling and their many shops and restaurants, this property is not to be missed.
