We often hear that location is everything in real estate, and in this case, it truly is. Finding a substantial acreage property is special enough - finding one with the space and character of a rural lifestyle while being conveniently located within town is something different altogether.
This beautiful five bedroom, period style home offers the charm and character of a bygone era. High ceilings, ornate cornices, hardwood floors and intricate timber fretwork are just some of the details that give this home its distinctive appeal.
From the moment you arrive, the attractive street appeal and welcoming covered front verandah hint at the character waiting within. The post and rail fencing, large metal custom gates, established trees and gardens provide an impressive introduction to this unique property.
The front formal entrance welcomes you into the traditional hallway, which separates the two front bedrooms.
Both bedrooms feature built-in robes, ceiling fans, polished hardwood floors and two generous windows designed to capture natural light and the cooling summer breezes.
A full wall of built-in linen cupboards provides excellent storage and ensures there is plenty of space for everything.
The primary suite is a peaceful retreat, complete with air-conditioning, built-in robes, ceiling fan, hardwood flooring and a private southern outlook. The modern ensuite has been recently renovated to create a fresh, contemporary feel and features a skylight, large shower, vanity and toilet.
At the centre of the home is a generous open plan kitchen, thoughtfully positioned to bring family and friends together.
The kitchen features a northern-facing window, air-conditioning, freestanding gas stove with electric oven, dishwasher, double sink and a built-in pantry with beautiful leadlight doors. The large eat-in dining area provides plenty of room for relaxed family meals and entertaining, while the high ceilings and ornate cornices continue the home's period charm.
The spacious living area flows effortlessly from this central kitchen hub. A striking fireplace set against a feature stone wall creates a warm focal point, complemented by tiled floors, a timber bay window with seating to capture the rural and pool views, French doors opening to the covered entertaining area below, ceiling fan and sliding doors leading to the upper covered deck overlooking the pool.
The main bathroom is conveniently positioned just off the living area and features a double vanity, northern-facing window, walk-in shower, deep soaking bath and toilet.
The fourth bedroom features hardwood flooring, ceiling fan, eastern and southern windows, and a built-in robe.
The fifth bedroom, while more compact, enjoys both northern and eastern aspects, bringing an abundance of natural light throughout the day.
Just beyond the covered outdoor entertaining area are two additional utility rooms, offering an abundance of flexibility.
The first features a concrete floor, ceiling fan and western facing window overlooking the front parking area towards the street, making it an excellent home office, study or creative space.
The second is a generous room with eastern and northern aspects, ceiling fan and concrete floor. Its size and versatility make it ideal as a hobby room, studio or potential guest accommodation.
The two rooms are separated by a covered breezeway, providing privacy while maintaining convenient all-weather access. The nearby laundry has two separate entrances for added practicality.
At the centre of the outdoor living spaces is the magnesium concrete pool - a wonderful focal point for family life and entertaining.
The lower undercover courtyard features a custom-built stone BBQ with adjoining sink and pizza oven.
A rustic timber outdoor shower adds to the relaxed country feel, while child- and dog-friendly fencing provides peace of mind around the lawn and entertaining areas.
For the cooler months, the firepit and low-maintenance garden area adjoining the pool creates the perfect setting for winter gatherings, all while enjoying the outlook across the surrounding rural landscape.
