This palatial residence has all the Character, Ambience and Style of the best that our early settlers could create, combined with the tasteful and up to the minute modern conveniences of today. Constructed around 1900 of solid freestone with spacious return verandahs on 3 sides the 268 sqm home sits serenely behind established trees, palms and gardens on a corner allotment of some 1800sqm. A traditional central hallway with 3.6m high ornate ceilings leads to 3 double bedrooms, 2 with open fires, one with 3.6mx3.6m Australian Oak built-in robes all with the relaxing feel of days gone by. The gracious formal lounge is generous in size with its open fire, ornate timber surround and peaceful ambience to enjoy at days end. Timber bookshelves and open fire surround create a dignified room for study or business or just for quiet relaxation. Slate flooring, heritage style cupboards and ample bench space give the up to the minute kitchen loads of appeal with double bowl sink, wall oven, halogen hotplates and servery. Undoubtably the most impressive room in this excellent residence is the Drawing Room with 5m high timber cathedral ceilings with exposed beams, freestone walling, slate floor and a magnificent huge open fireplace with its carved ornate mantle. A solid timber bar with its own history adds to the character of this unique room. French doors lead from each side of the room and the picture windows bring the gardens indoors. Naturally the home is insulated and features reverse cycle air conditioning throughout. Wiring has been upgraded with circuit breakers, surge arrestor and safety switch. Three 1500 gallon rainwater tanks, a garage/workshop and carport are also included. The character and heritage of this excellent property has been lovingly and carefully preserved by the current owners and it is with mixed feelings that they have decided to place it on the market. Will the property remain as a quality residence or will it be an upmarket reception centre for
