Tucked back from the road, behind the security of sliding electric gates, is this magnificent 1900′s blue stone fronted residence with detached studio/office. Somewhat elevated on a splendid allotment of over 1800m2 it has a commanding presence, with its stately gums framing the manicured lawn and a brick paved driveway stretching to the carport, parking apron and triple garage.
It is a tranquil spot, peaceful when standing on the wide timber verandah with appealing balustrades. You are taken back to the days of when folk would grace these verandahs, enjoying the valley breezes with friends, cakes and conversation.
Step into the living room and take in the feature fireplace with its tiled surrounds and carved mantelpiece, high ceilings with wide decorative cornices and central rose, deep timber skirting boards and polished timber floors. A wall of windows overlooks the garden and this is a comfortable and much used room.
The main bedroom is just delightful – especially large, with windows having garden views. Bedroom 2 and 3 can both accommodate double beds and there is a nursery, study or office adjacent the main bedroom.
A fabulous spa bathroom is modern and roomy, well tiled in heritage tonings.
The central passage has its own charm as timber architraves and doors open to the various rooms and the period fixtures and fittings throughout will impress.
A second living area is versatile and could be a formal dining room, lounge or family room. It has access to the side verandah and features a beautiful, central fireplace. Bi-fold doors from this room provide access to the dining area and picture windows and double glass doors open to the patio.
The timber country kitchen with lots of cupboards, modern electric appliances and a huge walk in pantry/store room is practical and light filled.
Beyond this is the laundry/work station with quality built in cupboards, robin hood ironing centre, deep wash tub and plenty of bench space.
A second bathroom abuts this.
The back area does not let you down!
The nicely paved patio stretches the width of the house and is fantastic for outdoor entertaining. It’s private, surrounded by landscaped and established gardens and vines with their grapes covering the pergola next to the gable roofed area. You won’t want to stir yourself!
A detached timber clad and carpeted studio is tucked back into the corner and has been used as offices. It would also make a great teen retreat or commodious rumpus. There is an extensive paved area in front of the studio and this is an excellent, safe and secure area for children’s play. On the other side is an azure blue, solar heated swimming pool, fully fenced, with lights installed and well tiled surrounds.Here you have your built in entertainment centre for the family without dominating the property. Other features of the property include, solar heated H.W.S, security system and plenty of room of extra cars, van or boat.
You really must view this property to appreciate its impeccable presentation, the care with which it has been updated and maintained, the beauty of its style and the loveliness of its location.
