This exquisite homestead residence was built in 1904 and retains many of the wonderful original features evoking memories of a bygone Colonial era. You will adore the ornate high ceilings, stunning cornicing and decorative antique fireplaces that feature throughout.
The magnificent stained glass front door opens to reveal the spacious hallway with 11 foot ceilings and wide, polished jarrah boards that flows throughout the home to the sitting room, formal dining room and 4 bedrooms, one of which currently serves as a study. The kitchen continues with a jarrah themed style and has plenty of cupboard/benchtop space and features top of the range appliances. You will enjoy relaxing in the informal TV room that is decorated in traditional ‘English pub’ style. The bathroom is of sparkling, classic design and features a double shower.
The original bathroom has been converted into a spacious indoor laundry and the original scullery is now a massive storeroom with floor to ceiling adjustable shelving.
The hallway is a wide corridor with fabulous detailed archways that lead you through length of the home to the sunroom; a beautiful room with Colonial style, timber French doors and windows that open out to brick paved courtyard. You will be impressed with the bull nose veranda and turned posts that sweep around the exterior or the house. A timber gazebo leads to the fenced pool that has a gorgeous waterfall trickling over the surrounding rocks. A high brick wall has been built to enclose part of the back garden and let you and your visitors enjoy the privacy of this space. The lawns and gardens are of considerable size, as this property sits on 1561sqm of land.
This always gives you the option of subdividing the land into a possible 7 unit site. Or you may just wish to take advantage of the existing architect’s plans and build an ensuite with WIR and 2 car garage with loft.
If you also fall in love with the contents of the house, the owner is willing to negotiate on certain furniture pieces. An opportunity like this only comes along once in a lifetime. Do not miss your chance, come and view this heritage property, it has a story to tell.
