Lovingly appreciated, impeccably restored and fused with modern comforts is the grand character of the former guest house known as ‘Hiawatha’. Nearing 100 years old this charming and stately home sits within almost half an acre of traditional garden in the heart of Healesville township.
Now an impeccable family home of 4 bedrooms plus huge dressing room or 5th bedroom, it proudly showcases the infinite charms of yesteryear with todays living. Wisteria vines festoons the verandah while a sunken spa in the rear deck offers modern entertaining. Baltic floorboards bid entry into a wide central hall where delicate timber fretwork impresses. Ceilings are high and ornate, light fittings are perfect and fabulous open fires feature decorative mantles. There is a claw foot bath in one of the two modern bathrooms, well placed reverse cycle split systems for comfort and even a big Coonara wood fire.
The huge country kitchen of old world grace and modern gourmet luxury offers a huge Falcon stove walk in pantry and secret under floor cellar to awe and delight while the vast open design living with garden outlook manages to create a cosy atmosphere. Add the benefits of water tanks, a double carport, great under house store and work room and easily enjoy the next 100 years here!
