137 Wallace Road, Tuntable Creek, NSW 2480

Want to enjoy spectacular sunrises and sunsets with everchanging views according to the weather? This property’s dwelling is situated to take advantage of some of the best valley and mountain range views on the North Coast of NSW. Set on 5 lovely and gentle acres in the sought-after hinterland locale of The Channon, the two-storey 1930’s-built abode is perched on the highest point of the land with the long and deep front deck taking in 180 degree north-easterly views of the Terania Creek Valley and the Nightcap National Park beyond. And the back deck of the home looks out over the gorgeous farmland of the Tuntable Creek Valley meaning your everchanging hues and views are assured at any time of day and in any season.
As you enter the long tree-lined driveway your eye is drawn up to the large and bespoke residence. This 5 bedroom 2 bathroom home is reminiscent of more opulent homes of the Edwardian ‘Interwar’ era of architecture. Pared back from the ornate features of the Art Deco period, this lovely old timber home has retained its tall casement windows featuring geometric slimline frames and horizontal glazing bars - all with individual awnings throughout. Also typical of its Edwardian heritage here are French doors leading to the decks and Juliet balconies, the exterior colour palette, and the plain/subtle timber fretwork around balconies and awnings.
The home has two living zones, typically a ‘winter’ zone downstairs and a ‘summer’ zone upstairs. Downstairs has a lovely lounging patio, big family living space, 3 spacious bedrooms, a very large bathroom / laundry, and a full hallway of floor to ceiling storage. The entire space has undergone a refurbishment for cozy living with such features as new internal linings, sandstone tiles throughout, pot-lighting, ceiling fans and a freshly painted neutral palette. The original Edwardian interior doors and the many original windows tie the refurbishment in with the history of the home.
Between floors is accessed by a spiral staircase. The Upper floor or ‘summer’ zone houses the open plan kitchen / dining / living room which in turn opens out to the biggest of the outdoor entertaining decks. There’s also 2 further bedrooms (one smaller and the perfect office space), a second big bathroom and access to the back deck. This floor has lovely original timber floors, patterned ceiling panels and picture railings. This floor also has ceiling fans throughout and a wood-burning heater/stove to compliment gas cooking.
The outstanding bespoke feature of the home is the marble, granite and stone mosaic work around the base of the staircase coupled with more mosaic and Deco-patterned tile work in both bathrooms. Mostly blacks and warm whites they give a neutral but bespoke point of interest to the home.

Outdoors is delightful. With those views all around, neatly presented and mowed land, lovely mature subtropical gardens at the rear, fruit trees and multiple sheds and garages for the farm toys, you’ll love your new life on this very private hobby farm. Just over 1 km to the beautiful little Village of The Channon with a Tavern, General Store, Primary School and the famous monthly markets but only 50 minutes to the beach … you’ll live the good life here.
