Tucked away on a sprawling 2-hectare bush block in the peaceful enclave of Chidlow, this 1930s-built gem is more than just a home—it's a sanctuary where history and nature intertwine. From the moment you turn through the gate, you're transported into a secret garden, shaded by towering gums and dotted with delightful nooks and crannies, each offering a unique spot to sit and soak in the tranquillity. This lovingly maintained property is a true testament to the charm of yesteryear, with sweeping verandahs adorned with decoratively turned balustrades, leadlight windows that dance with the light, and soaring ceilings featuring ornate details that tell stories of a bygone era.
Step inside, and the home's character unfolds with polished jarrah floors that whisper of the past, welcoming you into a space that feels both timeless and inviting. The lounge is a cosy haven, with dual French doors offering serene views of the lush gardens outside. An ornate pot belly stove sits proudly in the corner, its warmth amplified by a rustic corrugated metal hearth that adds a touch of rugged charm to the space. High-mounted timber shelving complements the detailed ceilings and pendant lighting, while a ceiling fan ensure the room remains cool and comfortable throughout the year.
The heart of this home is its country kitchen—a practical yet welcoming space where memories are made over shared meals. Timber cabinetry, a freestanding cooker, and a range hood combine functionality with style, while ample space allows for a dining table where family and friends can gather. The master bedroom is a peaceful retreat, featuring an ornate ceiling, a fan to keep the air circulating, and leadlight windows that frame the verandah, inviting the outside in. The second bedroom, with its cosy atmosphere, jarrah floors, and timber-framed windows, offers a delightful spot for rest and relaxation. Off the back of the home, a sleep-out presents a world of possibilities—whether you envision a third bedroom, a studio, a library, or a sewing room, this space is ready to adapt to your needs. Adding to the home's appeal is a separate study that overlooks the lush gardens with stunning 180-degree views. This space is perfect for those who work from home or need a quiet place to get creative, providing a serene and inspiring environment to focus or unwind.
