A Timeless Federation Home with Breathtaking Port Esperance Bay Views
Some homes simply have a presence, and this is one of them. Filled with warmth, character and an unmistakable sense of home, this magnificent circa 1910 Federation residence is a rare opportunity to own a property where history, comfort and timeless elegance come together beautifully.
Commissioned in 1895 and completed in 1905, this remarkable home has been thoughtfully updated over the years while preserving the craftsmanship, charm and enduring quality that make homes of this era so highly prized.
The wide verandah, complete with intricate wrought iron fretwork, provides the perfect place to relax and take in the magnificent outlook across Port Esperance Bay. Beyond the water lies the iconic Hope, Faith and Charity Islands, framed by surrounding mountains and rolling countryside, creating a breathtaking backdrop that changes beautifully with every season.
Inside, the welcoming ambience is immediate. Beautiful stained glass feature windows fill the home with colourful natural light, while Baltic pine ceilings, polished timber floors, exposed Oregon beams and original Federation features create a warmth and character that is becoming increasingly rare. Every room tells a story, yet together they create a home that feels incredibly comfortable, inviting and loved.
The generous floorplan offers three spacious bedrooms, a charming library, complete with a gorgeous ladder. Large open plan living and dining area designed for relaxed family living and entertaining. The dining room has ample room for spacious dining,
and a bank of built in cupboards, providing exceptional storage.
At the heart of the home, the galley kitchen combines style and practicality with granite benchtops, quality appliances, an abundance of cupboards and drawers and a generous walk in pantry, making it perfectly suited to both everyday living and entertaining.
Comfort has been carefully considered throughout with double glazed windows, insulation to both the walls and ceiling, a heat transfer system, heavy velvet drapes and decorative pelmets, ensuring this beautiful home remains comfortable in every season.
As winter settles in, light the fire, close the heavy drapes and enjoy the warmth and ambience that only a home like this can provide. Spend an evening gathered around the Jetmaster fireplace, curl up in the library with a favourite book, or simply enjoy the peaceful atmosphere that fills every corner of this beautiful residence. This is a home designed to slow down, relax and create lasting memories.
Outside, the fully paved courtyard offers a private, low maintenance space for entertaining or unwinding, while the workshop, covered storage, woodshed and off street parking provide excellent practicality.
The lifestyle on offer is equally impressive. Located directly opposite the Dover Foreshore Walking Track, you can enjoy leisurely walks along the waterfront whenever you choose. The boat ramp is only moments away, making it easy to head out and explore the beautiful waters of Port Esperance Bay and beyond.
The township of Dover is an easy stroll from your front door, where you can enjoy coffee and cake at a local café, browse the shops, or catch up with friends over a meal at the Dover RSL Club. Surrounded by beaches, waterways, mountain views and the welcoming community spirit that makes Dover such a special place to live, this is a lifestyle that is difficult to replicate.
Some homes are simply impossible to replace, and this is one of them. Rich in history, beautifully maintained and occupying one of Dover's most admired positions, this is a rare opportunity to own a piece of the town's heritage while enjoying a lifestyle that most people only dream about.
Inspection is essential to truly appreciate the craftsmanship, breathtaking outlook and the unmistakable feeling of home that this exceptional Federation residence offers.
