History tells us ‘Arnwood’ a fresh new development of housing, a part of young fast growing Mooroolbark and adjoining Bickleighvale estate began building in 1911. The first iconic English styled cottage was built on just over half an acre (2378m2) and bears ‘Arnwood’ 1911 on the brass name plate by the front door. Within this matured highly desired and revered pocket of history rich homes with magnificent gardens, this charming, beautifully original cottage home is now being offered for sale.

Stucco and stone, thick rustic walls, lower ceilings and leadlight delights, Arnwood is a world apart. Step through the front door from the porch into an extraordinary octagonal living room where stunning wood paneling decorates the walls and the open fire glows ambient romance.

It has three large bedrooms, a classic claw foot bath in updated bathroom, a charming dining room and quaint functional scullery style kitchen. Modern touches are ducted heating, evaporative cooling and deep plush carpet. Back porch/mud room, separate laundry, everything is touched with charm.

The long drive sweeps past the home, past the brick walled and covered alfresco BBQ area with mains gas and wood BBQ’s, to the vast parking area in front of the triple width garage. A work area, a convenient second toilet, this is the boys domain. A small paddock brings up the rear of this exceptional property.
