Dream big and reap the rewards with this distinctive Mount Helena property. A fabulous 1.6-acres of garden crossed by a winter creek, the Heritage Trail at the rear boundary, and an original 1947 home full of possibilities, represent a rare opportunity to craft a unique Hills lifestyle.
The home has been restumped and partially renovated. Timber floors and original windows are a visible connection to the past. An open-plan kitchen/meals area opens onto a south facing deck with views across the garden to the creek line; the perfect place to begin and end your days as you plan and reflect on the work to be done and what you have achieved.
A central lounge with a slow combustion fire offers a cosy, cocoon during crisp winter nights. Two small, square windows flank the original brick fireplace and bring filtered light from the east.
High ceilings, timber floors and casement windows ensure authentic charm in the bedrooms. A walk-in robe expands the practical space in the main bedroom. A built-in porch at the front of the floor plan offers a bright studio/home office or playroom. It isn’t hard to visualise a deck extending at the front of the home to create a sheltered and screened outdoor living area.
The shared family bathroom is functional and includes an over tub shower, vanity, and WC. A separate, outdoor laundry sits to one side of the rear deck.
Leaves change colour, the creek flows, blossom blooms, fruit ripens. The gardens are a reminder of the enduring and cyclical beauty of nature. Birds sing and chitter, the creek babbles, and the wind dances in the leaves to compose the perfect soundtrack to your vision becoming a reality and the writing of a new chapter in the long story of this home.
