At the end of a long gravel driveway, on an internal block in prestigious Grindelwald, stands a hidden gem. Positioned discreetly on approx 3.79 acres, (1.533Ha), this quaint English style manor just oozes character, offering the kind of charm you won’t find in any of today’s modern homes. From the decorative fret work, shutters, and rich russet bricks outside, to the extensive use of Tasmanian oak throughout the interior, this home will appeal to those searching for peace and tranquillity.
The owners have been meticulous about the improvement to their home since they purchased it. Additions include a solar power system, double carport, improved drainage, upgraded electrics, new blinds, tap ware, driveway, and fresh paint (to name just a few), leaving little for the lucky new buyers to do but move in! A separate studio standing opposite the house has huge potential think hobbies or home office. Surrounded by a beautiful Japanese garden, the space invites you to pause and absorb the seclusion of your surrounds.
Functional in design, the home comprises three bedrooms and two bathrooms, and is ideally suited to small families, young professionals, or empty nesters who love the idea of living under a thousand acres of open sky.
Upstairs is a king sized bedroom with panoramic views overlooking Grindelwald’s award winning olive grove and beyond. A stylish bathroom occupies a central position on the landing, with two double sized bedrooms making up the rest of the top floor. All the bedrooms have expansive built in robes, and the landing has a neatly positioned linen cupboard.
Downstairs you will find two separate living areas; an open plan family/meals area and a large separate living room. The use of Blackwood and granite add a stylish touch to the gourmet kitchen which leads out to a sunny deck. With an attractive valley outlook and Grindelwald Lake sparkling through the trees, the professionally installed retractable canopy over the deck makes this a fantastic place to relax or entertain friends.
Although on a small acreage the well fenced back yard provides safety for children and pets to play, allowing the remaining land to be fenced off to run a pony, sheep, or even alpaca. A free standing brick studio/workshop complements the home and adds to the unique character of this property.
This has to be one of the most charming properties in Grindelwald, and has to be seen to be truly appreciated. Book your inspection now!
