If these walls could talk
imagine the stories they could tell. At 140 years old, this home is resplendent - perched on a hillside in historic Quarry Hill. The 2088sqm estate boasts not just an historic home, but also shedding, a one bedroom unit and manicured gardens.
One by one, you will take note of the things that make this place special. Stunning exposed beams and vaulted skylights, polished timber floorboards, bespoke shelving, chandeliers, original wallpaper and pressed metal ceilings. Everywhere you look, you will be charmed - the bay windows, the glass door handles, the dado boards, the leadlight windows. They all weave together to create a stunning tapestry.
You could easily consider the house to have four bedrooms, a study/hobby room and two living spaces, however the floorplan is flexible and your furniture could be configured to put the rooms to different uses. A kitchen renovation was undertaken a few years ago and it now boasts a walk-in pantry and Smeg pyrolytic oven. The stunning claw foot bath takes centre stage in the bathroom, and there is a second shower room to assist with getting everyone ready in the mornings.
There is ducted heating and cooling throughout, and four workable open fireplaces. Original details blend seamlessly with modern updates creating an ambience of elegance, warmth and comfort. This really is a home, not just a house.
The one bedroom unit is practical, but also creates an element of flexibility to your lifestyle. Do you have young children and a live-in au pair? Or maybe an elderly relative who would like to be close by without losing their independence? Do guests come to stay often, or do you like the idea of leasing the property to create an income stream? Boasting its own private entrance, kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, living space, heating and cooling, hot water service and power meter, anyone would consider this a lovely place to live.
You will be blown away by the outdoor offerings. There are two separate driveway entrances, one leading to the large garage/workshop with roller door. There is a spacious cellar underneath the home which you could use for storage, the salt chlorinated pool sparkles in the sunlight, and you will find plenty of shady nooks around the grounds where you can put your feet up and enjoy a quiet cuppa. Magnificent flora and a huge variety of fruit trees fill the air with the aroma of nature, and as you overlook the lush green lawn you won't believe you are only a few blocks from the city centre.
Truly, to purchase a property like this is a once in a lifetime opportunity. Come and see for yourself.
Expressions of Interest Close Thursday 12 December, 4pm at 46 Queen Street, Bendigo.
