Every now and then a property comes on the market where the buyer won’t just like it, they’ll absolutely fall in love with it. 645 Eatonsville Road is that property.

Originally moved from the Grafton CBD (where Grafton Mall now stands) the current owners purchased the home as a project, in fact it was so dilapidated and run down that a few local cattle were the only occupants. Since then the home has undergone an amazing transformation to be the completely renovated and stately residence it is today. Everything here has been lovingly and painstaking renovated and restored in a style that keeps the heritage charm but provides modern comfort and convenience. The current owners have done all the hard work on this house, theres not a single job left to do, even down to small details like installing LED downlights throughout and repainting everything inside and out before going to market.

Offering a very large floor plan the home offers 5 bedrooms all with built in space and ceiling fans. All the rooms are bright and airy with heaps of natural light making its way through the heritage windows . The paint scheme is nice and light which further adds to the bright and fresh feel. Each of the rooms has their own unique advantages, with either French doors opening onto the verandah or large windows giving views of grounds and gardens. In addition to the 5 bedrooms there are two upstairs rooms, which could be used as more bedroom space or utilized as storage. Living space is equally as generous, there is a formal lounge (complete with wood fire for heating and air conditioning for cooling) along with the eat in kitchen/dining area that’s so large the current owners have a 12 seat dining setting that easily fits in the space. Despite all that space inside our bet is that most buyers will spent a large amount of their time on the verandahs, either enjoying a morning coffee in the sun or an afternoon drink in the shade all aspects are counted for.

The grounds of 645 Eatonsville Road are just as impressive as the house. The 1.7 acres (7,200sqms) has a gradual rise from the front gate to the elevated homesite. Gardens have not just been added to the block, but lovingly maintained and cared for, they are now so well established the block almost has a botanical gardens feel. Littered amongst the gardens are bird aviaries which the owners are happy to leave should the new owner want them. The shed is 4 bays, 2 of which have electric roller doors, inside there is a mezzanine level to provide a vast amount of storage space. Behind the shed is the pool, which does need some TLC so please talk to our agents about that.

The location of the small village of Eatonsville is right on the junction of the Orara & Clarence Rivers, from this property you are around 1km from a boat ramp into the Clarence where you can launch a fishing tinny or go for a dip.. The city of Grafton is the nearest major centre at around a 20 minute car ride away, or for school kids they can hop on the school bus which picks up and drops off right at the front gate.

It is hard to get across just how well presented this property is. During the pre-purchase pest & building reports (which are available) one of the tradesmen asked the owners ‘where are you living now?’ not believing that a home this well presented could be lived in it’s always comforting to buy a property from such fastidious owners. Lots of little extras have been added that a buyer might not notice on first inspection, the front gate is electric and can be operated with a remote control, the dishwasher in the kitchen has been hidden away inside the pantry, there is a large solar system, and there is storage space in the ceiling space. Whether you’re a large family, grey nomads looking for a base or a couple looking to enjoy the benefits of a rural lifestyle this property will suit you and you simply must inspect it!
