What a delightful representation of yesteryear. This beautifully presented family home is just an absolute delight. Four bedrooms with ornate fireplaces, Tasmanian Oak floors, quality timber trimming and Federation fretwork are a testament to the craftsmanship that went into many of the feature houses of this period.

The generous dining and sitting features serene views of the garden. There is an enclosed verandah-sunroom that would make a great hobby room or office. The 2,471 square metre allotment provides ample room for the keen gardener and includes a potting shed for plant preparation, while the grounds and edgings have been simplified for mowing and maintenance. A double lockup garage and workshop combination, and a fantastic under cover entertaining area complete the ambiance of this property. To add to this facility has also been the renewal of the carport area which is capable of fitting a motor-home or caravan.

Some of the period furnishings may also stay with the property, by negotiation. This house represents a timeless piece of quality. A choice of either wood heating or reverse cycle heat pump creates climate control and flows ambient temperature through from the kitchen-dining area to the expansive lounge. The weatherboard home has been clad with replica weatherboard finish, has been rewired, and the bedrooms have been newly carpeted. A new kitchen has been installed and the timber feature Tasmania Oak floors of the kitchen and dining rooms have been stripped back, freshly sealed and polished.

The home is built on what is arguably the premier site in Railton, and was originally built as the manager’s residence for the cement and lime-works manager. The quality and workmanship is of the highest quality. The grounds have been fully fenced providing privacy from both passing traffic and neighbours, and with a pleasant rural backdrop to the back of the house it is a very pleasant setting. The home is merely a few hundred metres pleasant walk from the town facilities and services of Railton.

This is an ideal position from which a family can commute for work. Children have schooling options in Railton (primary), Sheffield, Latrobe or Devonport and bus transport is available to all centres.

This is a home of a quality that if it were to be offered in Devonport for example would be taken out of most peoples budget. It is of very high quality at a very affordable price in the quiet rural town of Railton.
