511 Rockingham Road, Munster WA 6166

LANZA'S OLD PLACE CIRCA 1935

Auction on Site - Saturday 1st February 2020 @ 2:00 pm (unless sold prior)

Rich in almost a century of local history and impeccably presented, 511 Rockingham Road Munster is one of the original homesteads for the surrounding area. Built in the 1930's by Antonio Lanza after he migrated here in 1927, Mr Lanza was well known in the area, as one of the founding members of the community.

A skilled farmer and visionary he saw the potential for life in Australia and encouraged many to join him from Italy; it is said he even personally sponsored many of their migration to WA!

In almost 100 years this property has only changed hands a couple of times with Sharon and Ken having raised their family here for the last 15 years. The love and adoration they have for their home is apparent from the moment you arrive. Many will have driven past on their way to school drop off and admired the manicured gardens and stately atmosphere this character home exudes.

It is our absolute pleasure to represent this remarkable home in the marketplace and we cannot wait to show you around!

For those unable to watch the short video we have prepared here is a brief summary of the standout features on offer;
- 1161sqm block
- Stately established gardens
- Classic solar passive design with wide verandahs, high ceilings and limestone construction meaning the home stays a comfortable 25 degrees and bills at a minimum
- For those extra hot days or cold nights there is ducted refrigerated cooling and heating throughout the home, a feature mile ahead of its time for the home
- Original cornice and ornate ceiling rose work throughout
- Renovated kitchen with granite bench tops, dishwasher, gas and wood fire cooking.

Out the back we find a gabled patio with ceiling fan and cafe blinds for entertaining despite the weather.

Flanked by the external laundry and a second bathroom - great for when guests are over - is the Man Cave, complete with a kitchenette, alarm and air conditioning. 3 phase power will allow you to operate just about anything in there!

Power bills are kept to a minimum as the home's temperature is regulated by excellent insulation from the home's high ceilings and limestone construction. The wide verandahs let the winter sun in but keep the summer sun out.

To arrange a private inspection of this historic estate or for more information please contact us directly on the details provided; we look forward to showing you around!
