This grand old dame built in 1927 is seeking a new custodian to start the next chapter and embrace its revered location just footsteps from the village. Housed on a near flat half acre, the enchanting weatherboard transports you back to a bygone era highlighted by stunning decorative ceilings, ornate cornices, wood trim and hardwood floors. Retaining yesteryear allure complemented by sympathetic modern comforts, this treasured residence’s appeal is further enhanced by a lush garden wonderland blooming with an array of flora including camelias, rhododendrons, Japanese maples, weeping elms, cherry blossom and plentiful bulbs.
This wonderfully cathartic home with four bedrooms, two bathrooms and triple garage sets the foundation of a life of absolute comfort and bliss in the hills.
Maintaining formal traditions, a cosy lounge at the front of the home is a quiet retreat warmed by an original fireplace encouraging downtime and gatherings. A second fireside living room is complemented by a dining room with glorious garden glances. The country style kitchen with granite benches and double stone sink fuses modern functionality with the allure of a timber island bench made for platters and hearty conversation as much as preparing family favourites. Original sparkle glass French doors separate zones and picture rails accentuate the magnificent 3m high ceilings.
All four bedrooms peel off a hallway including master with skylit ensuite and double vanity with three bedrooms opening to the alfresco. A family bathroom delights with oversized shower and feature sash window, and you’ll adore the original timber wardrobes in the bedrooms.
A covered patio will be a haven on a hot day as you relax under the shade or entertain friends with café blinds adding all-weather allure.
But it’s the “labour of love” gardens that will bring the most joy with curated spaces bathed in sunshine and pockets to explore, unwind and soak up the birdsong. Every corner tells a story, and every season invites new beauty from the recycled bird baths, old farm gate and quirky stone paths to the shaped hedging and mature trees that offer shade. Even the garden sheds feature remnants from the original 1920s garage. This is a property that will keep giving, surprising, and delighting year after year.
Homes of this calibre in this lifestyle-centric location certainly don't come along every day. Wonderfully maintained and enhanced for modern comfort, this is a brilliant opportunity to secure your forever family home moments from the action in the village.
