This beautiful home named Badgers Dawn for its stunning outlook towards the nearby Badgers Range is a California bungalow style home surrounded by enchanting gardens.

Upon entering the home you are taken back to a charming 1930's age with the faithful and meticulous restoration of the interior features such as picture rails and wood panelling whilst other original characteristics throughout include deco ceiling panels and cornices, nine foot ceilings and striking lead-light window work, so typical of the era.

The main lounge has a wood heater and bay window, once again complete with lead-light windows. The adjoining formal dining room also boasts a wood heater, original and perfect for those intimate dinners or cocktail parties. Other heating and cooling throughout is provided by two reverse cycle heat pumps. The master bedroom has had built in robes added which blend with the style of the home as have the other bedrooms. The bathroom with a claw foot bath and pedestal hand basin has been lovingly restored to match the rest of the home, resplendent with more lead-light features. The kitchen has been refurbished and modernised with solid Blackwood cupboards, double sink and is open plan to the sunny breakfast area.

A complete re-wire and re-plum has been carried out, an added benefit to this charming residence.

Outside the large undercover veranda is just what the doctor ordered, a relaxing zone to view the private yard and enjoy your surrounds. The main gardens are a mixture of different plantings including a large fully enclosed orchard containing a variety of apples, stone fruit and berries. Further along a walk through a canopy of oaks and lined either side by hydrangeas one comes to a beautiful pond complete with a fern covered babbling brook cleverly designed to run all year round. All this is taken care of by the bore automatic watering system whilst two large water tanks supply the home.

Out buildings include a 9m x 6m colourbond garage and garage attached carport. There is also a large weatherboard garden/potting shed that compliments a high roofed timber shed that would make a wonderful studio.

This is a home with so many features that one has to inspect it to appreciate it fully.
