It’s only once in and a while a property with such style, grace and history is offered for sale.

193 Drake Street, Carrs Creek is worthy of the front page of any Home Beautiful edition.

This heritage listed brick home was built in 1882 by the Department of Education. It was a one teacher school and residence, set on a private 2 acre parcel of land. It operated for 82 years until Westlawn Primary School opened in 1964.

It has been 44 years since the property was last offered for sale on the open market. The current sellers have restored the master residence back to better shape than its’ former glory. There has also been the addition of a few extras.

Some of the features include beautifully polished floors and a high ornate ceiling. The Old English Country style kitchen is a centerpiece of the home, right down to its’ ceramic butlers sink.

The formal lounge and family areas have their own fireplace, as does the main bedroom. The main bedroom has French doors that open out to the veranda.

For those who have hobbies, the sun room is a big space, allowing you to spread out as much as you like, making it ideal for those who enjoy sewing or craft.

The most recent addition to the property is a large enclosed family/sun room that will offer the perfect spot to entertain guests. The area is fully screened and has gas heaters installed for full comfort during winter.

The school house itself is an open plan dwelling with a full size kitchen for all those budding master chefs. The bathroom facilities are also very good and very suitable for a Bed and Breakfast style arrangement. One major feature of the School House is that it is fully Air Conditioned.

This part of the property is a perfect match for the main home and compliments the heritage into a total package.

Other improvements include a 4-6 car garage, In ground swimming pool, separate laundry, separate amenities buildings, work shop, separate sleeping accommodation and a restored well.

The 2 acre parcel of land has beautifully landscaped gardens to add to the peace and serenity of this home. The entrance driveway adds to the style of the property and you certainly get that WOW factor once you pass the main gate on arrival.

There is so much more to this property than meets the eye, so if this has whet your appetite, pick up the phone and call Adam Sydenham to arrange you private inspection.
