If you're looking for something truly special, steeped in history but with a whole bundle of upgrade opportunities? If you're yearning for a lifestyle as grand as it is grounded? This 119-year-old gem on a 4 acre estate will be the find of your century! A time capsule of Australian history that's enjoyed extensions and renovations over the decades, this property is just waiting for someone to use it as a canvas for their own family masterpiece. Imagine throwing open those charming art deco glass doors in Summer, sipping on something delicious on the colossal verandah, listening to the kids run wild on acres of their own private playground. Until then, enjoy the different kind of magic as Winter brings the chance to curl up with your favourite person in the lounge, vintage wallpaper and soaring ceilings creating a cocoon of character.

But this house is more than authentic antique touches of yesteryear, it's enjoyed many makeovers and modernisations including a total renovation of the kitchen. A showstopper of classic black and white cabinetry and an enormous amount of prep space is finished off with an immense Falcon stove that's so glorious, you may find yourself fully infatuated. In fact, there's respect for this home's past in many of the renovation and design choices, from the classic black and white checkerboard bathroom tiles under the standalone clawfoot tub to the picture perfect entryway to the verandahs so wide you could do-si-do on them.

If you could host a barn dance on your verandah, just imagine the parties you could hold on the lovely timber decked, gabled patio entertaining area! This is a lazy Sunday brunch or Springtime BBQ dream spot. The property also boasts a big, old, farm-style open-ended shed, perfect for storing toys and tools and there's a sweet paddock that your little ones can use as leverage for pony negotiations. The cottage is set in the middle of a block, protected by a delightful buffer of land, and accessed by a long, tree-lined driveway that will have you breathing out in blissful relief at the end of a busy day. Don't let the address fool you - you can't even see the cottage from the road. And there's still plenty of land here to do with what you like; a pool perhaps? A walled vegetable and herb garden? Perhaps a second shed to become the DIY HQ? Need a spot of sustenance to get you through all that planning? Mundaring is 6 minutes up the hill in the car, Midland only 11 down the hill. Or take the arvo off and head to the Parky Tav - you could even take the pathway through Wooroloo National Park to stroll there.

Make history with this grand old dame.
