There are stories to tell here, a home with character and soul, the former Bank of Australasia now a family home in the small quiet town of Stony Creek in South Gippsland.
Historically the Bank was designed by A and K Henderson and constructed by F.W Morris in 1911. A single storey weatherboard clad building. Originally the residence was to the rear of the home but now you will find the former Bank is all home with spacious kitchen and dining to the front adjoining the living room.
Original Hardwood floors throughout and 15 ft plus pressed tin ceilings there is oodles of charm just waiting for the next custodian to add their touch and tell their story.
Step up to the bedrooms as the wide passage separates 4 bedrooms plus additional study and storage rooms before adjoining the bathroom and laundry. A RC/AC makes for ease in keeping the home warm in Winter and cool in Summer. The home has been partially renovated, so with more to do there’s room here for you to put your personal touch on this home.
Externally given the home sits to the very front of the block you have a huge back yard that offers loads of opportunity as a blank canvas for a garden with a separate fenced veggie patch. A lockable rear shed with power allows good storage and the power bills are kept in check with the addition of solar power.
Step out the front gate and onto the Great Southern rail trail. You can walk or ride to the bustling village of Meeniyan or all the way to the coast to Welshpool.
