All the timeless features that endear this mid-nineteenth-century character homestead to visitors are its high ceilings (11′), the wraparound verandahs, wide central hallway, picture rails, ornate cornices and ceiling roses, fireplaces with mantelpieces and large square rooms.

Most rooms have French Doors opening to verandahs or courtyards, offering easy indoor/outdoor lifestyles. There are 4 bedrooms, 3 have both ensuites and sunrooms. The sunlit study/library at the front entrance could easily be a home-based business office, a TV room, or 5th bedroom.

The chiffon draped patio is a romantic and secluded entertaining ‘room’, accessed from the cottage gardens or the large, separate dining room that easily seats 10-12 people.

Some modern features are: ducted gas heating, security system, keyed-alike doors and windows, sensor lights all around, automatic irrigation system, a Hampton styled kitchen and stunning laundry, 3 Paved storage sheds.

The gardens are filled with some aged and rare majestic trees, under planted with magnolias, azaleas, camellias and rhododendrons. The orchard supplies bountiful crops of pears, plums, apples, apricots, lemons, limes and quinces. There are generous lawn areas ideal for kiddies to play on and pets to enjoy.

As the 2059m2 block (the equivalent size of 3 town home sites), has a 60 meter frontage of white picket fencing, is cleverly zoned as 8 ‘garden rooms’ its maintenance is both easy and pleasurable. Meandering from each turn of these ‘rooms’ opens new exciting garden vistas, especially those of the Olive and Birch Groves, and the Italianate Paul Bangay inspired courtyard, brimming with oranges, mandarins, cumquats and more lemons and limes. Dense boundary hedges guarantee privacy. Subdivision is a possibility S.T.C.A.

This 1860′s gorgeous homestead has been cleverly extended and tastefully redecorated. As the floor plan is flexible, it offers different usage and living options. A teen retreat, granny flat, air bnb could easily be incorporated. Or the entire residence could become a guest house as it has been in previous years. As all rooms offer beautiful garden outlooks, or have direct access to them, this property is both unique and idyllic.
