This delightful home is privately located behind a screen of unusual and exotic trees including three spectacular raintrees and a stunning macadamia.
The 70 year old walnut tree is said to have yielded kilogram after kilogram of nuts in bygone years. You cannot help but smile as you enter the garden gate and begin to become absorbed by the meandering pathways and the undeniable charm of this Lobethal gem.
Bold use of colour is one of its many endearing features. For starters the house is an azure blue reminiscent of the colour of the sky on those stunning cloudless spring days we all adore. The home is surrounded by verandahs with the addition of cafe blinds that create extra living zones for enjoyment and outdoor entertaining all year round.
As you enter the hallway with its high ceilings, ornate Art Deco plasterwork, and polished floor boards, the charm continues to shine through. The 3 bedrooms are all located at the front of the home with Bedroom 3 currently used as a music room.
Bedrooms 1 and 2 feature floor to ceiling robes and a pleasing amount of storage options. They are of large proportions and both access the sunny, north facing study or second living space. This home has a very versatile floor plan and could be adapted to a multitude of uses. The formal living room oozes character. An enormous slow combustion fire that’s tucked away into an original fire place, warms the entire home.
The heart of any home is often the kitchen and no exceptions here.
This farm house kitchen, boasting American Oak cabinetry and granite benches was installed some 12 years ago at the same time as the rear extensions. The walk in pantry will almost double as a scullery with floor to ceiling shelving.
Ample bench space exists for the gourmet gardener. You will be overwhelmed by the bountiful harvest this outstanding organic garden produces. You really could be self- sufficient where fruit and vegetables are concerned!
The bathroom and laundry have also been upgraded with the inclusion of a relaxing spa bath – perfect after a satisfying day’s work in the garden. The underneath of the house has been enclosed to create 3 separate storage/work rooms. One is used as a craft and includes a toilet and washbasin – also very handy if you are downstairs in the retreat – a free standing room overlooking the garden.
A favourite spot in the warmer months will no doubt be the southern verandah. Accessed via cedar French doors from the living room or, this outdoor room overlooks the shady garden and the grazing cattle in the paddocks beyond. A pretty summer house will also become a peaceful spot to sit back and contemplate or meditate…you choose.
With 62,000 litres of rainwater storage, Solar Power, grey water usage and a garden that is bursting with produce, this character home will appeal to the purchaser looking for a home laden with a sense of history, charm and an ambience of warmth and happiness.
