A residential experience like no other awaits in this remarkable Australiana homestead - a true testament to heritage architecture, unrivalled in its striking appeal and imaginative resourcefulness.
Set on its very own hill at the bowl of a quaint court, a meandering driveway to meticulous cottage gardens starts the first chapter of this beautiful story. A slate-tiled entry welcomes you inside, with the formal lounge and dining space and master suite with full ensuite and walk-in robe sprawling to each side. Awe-inspiring in its finish, each feature stunning ceiling roses, picture rails, decorative cornices and architraves.
The open plan living space to the rear is simply jaw-dropping, with soaring cathedral ceilings, intriguing angles and gorgeous earthy surfaces exquisitely adorned with traditional decor and purpose-built cabinetry. The incredible kitchen features an antique cast iron oven, replaced by Fisher and Paykel cooking appliances and a hidden dishwasher for modern convenience. Two robed bedrooms to one side are serviced by a central bathroom, exceeding any character and grandeur expectations with an antique claw foot bath, intricate gold tapware and bath curtain, purpose-built basin cabinet and separate toilet.
Outdoors, an inground, salt-chlorinated pool and spa sits within an immaculately landscaped area, featuring a characterful undercover BBQ area, and enclosed by a seamless blend of glass and wrought-iron fencing. A quiet courtyard adjoining, surrounded by gorgeous hedging, looks out past the water fountain over the remainder of the vast 2.66-acre (approx.) property, evoking a sense of genuine wonderment.
It is here you'll find many a highlight, none more impressive than the substantial four-car garage/workshop, again built with Australiana-architecture in mind, showcasing gloriously exposed framework. Self-contained accommodation adjoins with internal and external access, kitchenette, two living spaces, ensuite and loft, creating options for a proper work-from-home space.
Down the back of your hill, along the remainder of the wandering driveway and behind the storage barn, an adorable one-bedroom, fully self-contained cottage offers options for additional income or in-law accommodation, offering comfortable spaces amongst an idyllic and private setting.
There is so much more to explore and discover on this stunning property, including a bore-fed dam, shade house and glasshouse, fruit orchard and vegetable garden, chook and pig enclosures, woodshed and even a tyre swing, all set in a stunning location a few minutes walk to the foreshore of Rutherford Creek, within an easy hour's drive to Phillip Island, Melbourne and Portsea.
