Listed for sale for the first time in 29 years is this Victorian era weatherboard home, sitting proudly on an expanse of prime and level land, measuring over two acres.
Rarely is a building of this age and character, offered on such peaceful and private grounds. Featuring a variety of vegetation and open grassed areas, there is little of the high maintenance associated with manicured and exotic gardens. This park-like property is enhanced with special borrowed views into Hammock Hill Reserve and barely a neighbour in sight. Is it the perfect sanctuary for a growing family, a downsizer, a weekend haven or an investment par excellence. The choice is yours.
The soaring ceilings and solid timber flooring give it an elegant, spacious feel, while the five bedrooms with their green outlooks provide tranquility and a connection to nature. The renovated bathrooms keep the old-world charm intact, complementing the character of the home. The open-plan space with the kitchen, dining, and family room provides a welcoming, communal atmosphere, especially with the added warmth of the gas log fire and slow combustion wood heater. The versatile floor plan provides a variety of living options from formal dining, studies, formal sitting and entertaining areas. French doors opening to a side deck are a lovely touch, allowing the home to be bathed in Winter sunshine, while another alfresco option is a pergola covered brick-paved courtyard, adding form, function and a sense of serenity.
