Built in 1926 Glen Aire is a substantial bungalow home that has stood the test of time. Constructed of stone and red brick quoins the house sits proudly on East Terrace. The owners have captured the character of a bygone era through practical and charming additions to the original house.

A grand carob hedge gives ample privacy while sitting on the large protected front balcony / veranda enjoying the beautiful garden and warm winter sun. This is just one of many beautiful spots to enjoy the magnificent garden stretching across the 2126m2 property

The formal entry opens into an elegant central hall featuring decorative high ceilings, timber arch, polished Jarrah floors, and an ornate oak built in linen cupboard. A formal sitting room in the same style looks out onto the front garden and features a large glazed brick coined open fire for those cooler months. The large master bedroom also overlooks the front garden, and features a large built in robe. Ornate ceilings throughout the original house add to this charm.

The rear of the house opens into a more rustic theme with polished pine floors throughout. The heart of every home is the kitchen and this country kitchen is no exception. Large enough to entertain the whole family and any drop ins. There is a large gas stove and cook top, original timber cupboards finished with a meat safe metal adding to the charm. A Huon pine bench top houses the original ceramic kitchen sink.

A second large bedroom with built ins sits adjacent to the first of two bathrooms featuring a claw foot bath. The second bathroom sits off the family room at the rear of the house. The room is cleverly designed with a range of rustic materials, corrugated iron walls, timber ceilings with exposed beams and timber framed windows. The room also features a large slow combustion heater which heats the entire rear of the house and takes the chill off the rest.

There is a 3rd large bedroom leading off the family room again with built ins, and a large study which could be converted to a 4th bedroom.

The family room leads out onto a large paved entertaining area continuing the rustic theme at the rear of the house. Complete with limestone retaining walls and herb gardens, large railway sleeper posts and exposed beams, it even has its own ceiling fan for those warmer days. And to complete the scene there is a built in stone pizza oven. An additional outside toilet is also nearby.

The rear of the property features extensive gardens and established trees including a small orchard, and a large chook yard. There are several sheds, a workshop and a studio with power and concrete floors to cater for all the family hobbies. There is also an outside laundry, and for those extra guests there is even a charismatic classic caravan, built into the garden.

The home has been re-wired, re-plumbed and a new roof has been fitted. The home also features solar hot water. Rain water is pumped throughout the home, with the toilets serviced by mains water. Grey water from the laundry is pumped to the garden.
