Bursting with charm and historic appeal, this original federation home circa 1905 has been delicately restored with sophisticated flair. This home was the original farmhouse in the area, initially set on 30 acres.
Set on a picturesque 1600m2 (subdivisible) block with beautiful established gardens and trees, this unique compound offers absolute privacy yet is only minutes to Bangalow’s main street with its array of cafes, restaurants and boutique shops.
A long brick lined driveway provides a substantial buffer from the street providing absolute privacy, further enhanced by an electric gate and fencing along all boundaries.
Inside, the old-world charm is evident with cedar lined walls, pressed metal ceilings, wide arched hallways and original hardwood polished floorboards. Soaring 3.2m ceilings with antique chandeliers and 3 fireplaces add grandeur to the romantic ambience.
Ideal for entertainers and epicureans alike, the expansive kitchen revolves around an elongated island bench with seating for 4 and views of the pool area. Along the wall, a 7.5 metre brass countertop with a Lacanche oven, complimenting the checker-board floor tiles. Completing this functional design is a huge walk-in butler’s pantry, discretely concealed behind a shelved wall.
Bespoke steel doors lead directly out to the covered decks and bbq area perfect for relaxing and dining alfresco. The luxurious, fully tiled pool boasts freshwater Naked Swim technology and is surrounded with timber decks and a beautifully landscaped gardens and Cuban tiled pool cabana.
The generous master bedroom has an ensuite, walk-in dressing room and light filled study adjacent. Bedrooms 2, 3 and 4 all have independent access to the illuminated gardens or pool area. Both bathrooms have been stylishly renovated with herringbone tiles and brass fittings.
The home has been lovingly extended and restored from the ground up, including re-stumping, rewiring and remodelling with the addition of ducted reverse-cycle air conditioning and 4 skylights which create an abundance of natural light.
The level lawn is fantastic for kids to play on and come nightfall stargazing around the firepit is certainly the place to be. Completing this superb offering is an oversized 4 bay garage plus workshop space, suitable for many uses including conversion to secondary accommodation (STCA).
This is undoubtedly one of the best homes in Bangalow.
