Impressive Real Estate Kempsey is proud to present this alluring property to you.
Inspired by an array of period building styles and historical recycled materials, this home is nestled on a highset 5 acre block taking in a south westerly aspect absorbing spectacular and constantly changing views across the Macleay River and on to Kemps Peak.
If you haven’t already picked up the phone and booked your inspection with us after looking at the photographs, grab a cuppa, sit back and read on because you will be calling us after this.
The house was built using Boral Sandstock bricks with a darker blend to highlight doors and corners. With high square set ceilings typical of early colonial buildings this feature is complimented by the six inch Cypress Pine floorboards and the accurately reproduced period skirting and architraves.
The provincial style kitchen features an ILVE full gas range with electric oven in an old chimney style setting, the island bench is an old butcher block originally from an old sheep station, the cupboards and benches are made from historic recycled timbers. The Cedar was rescued in the 1960′s when Sydney Town Hall was refurbished with other timbers retrieved from an old Anglican Church in Newtown. Isn’t the history of the materials used to build this property just amazing! Wait till you actually see it in person! Everything has a story in this property, it is quite remarkable.
This 3 bedroom home was originally planned to be a much bigger house with the idea of establishing a B&B retreat. So, what you actually see today is the middle of an ‘H’ section footprint. The structure is self-supporting allowing for all internal walls to be removed for future extensions in mind.
Back to the house. The roof is a cut roof, not the typical truss style you see today which has allowed room for a large and very usable attic which is accessed by a concealed pull down ladder. The attic has been lined with pine boards and would make a great office area or teen retreat or storage space.
Keeping with the same style of the house is a 3 car garage with a built in studio and once again a cut roof giving you massive loft storage area.
This property is not something you would expect to find in a vibrant beach side town, which actually makes it even more special.
Property is open for inspections each saturday prior to Auction or by private arrangement.
