When it comes to surprises, 1014 Traveston-Cooran Road is a property that just keeps on giving! From the moment you walk up the wide staircase to the front door, you can see this is something very special and you wont be able to resist stepping inside.
Built in 1906, the front of this high-set home is original, with a central hallway and three bedrooms one with air-conditioning. Youll love the polished hoop pine flooring!
Walk a little further and youll discover the amazing and original main bathroom, with its gorgeous clawfoot bath, stunning black & white floor tiles, original handbasin, brass tapware and large brass showerhead over the bath.
Next up is a lovely room with French doors opening to a small deck on one side, and access out to the main covered deck on the other. The window seat would be a delightful place to sit and read, whilst the built-in shelving makes this the perfect office or study, or even a separate dining room. In addition to the windows, a skylight provides plenty of natural light.
Now for the wow factor! A thoughtful and stylish extension has effortlessly blended old and new to create an ultra-modern kitchen and spacious open plan living and dining area. Determined to maintain the homes authentic charm, the current owners recycled as many of the original windows as possible; the rest were tailor-made to match the originals.
Huge sash windows let natural light pour in whilst timber-framed stacker doors open up the kitchen to the alfresco dining area. With more French doors leading to yet another outdoor entertaining area, the breezes are just wonderful!
Theres a Norseman wood-burner to keep you cosy in winter, and a walk-in pantry thats big enough to be transformed into a butlers pantry. A stainless steel AEG dishwasher, Caesarstone benchtops, double sink, 900mm SMEG electric oven, 6-burner gas cooktop, and stunning glass splashback complete your new kitchen.
The master bedroom is also in this wing, boasting polished floorboards, a walk-in robe and ensuite bathroom with original handbasin and large shower.
This gorgeous traditional home features high ceilings and VJ walls throughout, leadlight glass, original pressed metal awnings over the bedroom windows and many more original touches.
Step outside and theres another big surprise: a charming original railway carriage attached to the house by a wooden walkway. Retaining several of its original features, this spacious addition could be fitted out to suit many different uses.
Offering just over 3 acres of land, a little TLC would give you the most amazing gardens. Wander along the hidden pathways and youll discover a huge selection of fruit trees, including mango, orange, kaffir lime, lychee, jackfruit, guava, peach, macadamia, banana, pineapple, mulberry and more.
Raised vegetable beds are ready for you to work your magic, whilst the shade house is the perfect place to raise your seedlings. Theres also a dam, 2 chook runs and a quaint garden shed made from the original outside loo!
You can park 1-2 vehicles under the house, with undercover access into the home. Mind you, with Coorans shops, cafes, sports oval and train station just a 12-minute walk away, you may leave the car at home!
