A thoroughly restored, romantic miner’s cottage from yesteryear has been teamed with an idyllic garden setting on a couple of acres, resulting in a combination that will, to many be completely irresistible. Beyond the garden gate at 42 Bena Road, Korumburra, this beautifully and imaginatively restored cottage oozes modern comfort and country charm. A shady front verandah introduce the home, which retains it’s original front door, baltic pine flooring and weatherboards. Bedrooms either side of the entrance hallway are large, light and airy. Down the hallway, you pass a charming bathroom with its own toilet, a shower over bath and timber topped vanity. Continue to a step down living room with built-in bookshelves and window seat. To the left through glazed French doors is a completely up-to-date kitchen, with Bosch dishwasher, four door pantry and Bosch self cleaning stay cool oven with ceramic cook top. The modern appliances and floor tiles are warmed by gleaming red iron bark polished timber bench tops, and views through a country style doorway to a kitchen garden. The kitchen overlooks a roomy dining and living area, which in turn leads to an elevated and covered outdoor timber decking. Adjoining the living area you will find a laundry, study nook with plenty of storage room, and the master bedroom with ensuite bathroom. Throughout, character has been maintained with the use of painted dado timber paneling, timber Venetians, a combination of timber and tiled floors, colonial windows, French Doors, and ceiling fans. Another world awaits outside. Gravel pathways meander between separate garden rooms, from rotational vegetables to a variety of berries, established fruit trees and native plantings. Stop by the purpose built chook run and say hi to the girls, or stay a while in the potting shed. A big fenced paddock slopes gently away towards the creek and native reserve at the rear, proving you with choices: run some animals, or grow a field of lavender! Keen gardeners will appreciate the planning that has gone into developing the property and will enjoy its bounty. The property is sheltered, offers views towards hills and farms and is a short distance to shops in Korumburra. Further improvement to this outstanding property are Solar hot water service with Natural Gas backup and a SOLAR SHOP Australia 5.74 kw solar electricity system both of which ad to the charm of this property and almost make this property self sufficient.
