A Grand Old Lady

Unless sold prior, all offers presented by midday Tuesday 10th November, 2020.

With a romantic old world ambience, this fine vintage home has over 100 years of history running through its classic stone walls. Dynamic and impressive in stature, this is a home of enormous character, with the historical integrity much as it was when it was first constructed in 1915. Character lovers will delight in the 5" Jarrah floorboards, the high decorative ceilings and cornices, the refined living rooms and the shady wisteria covered terrace.

The splendid original front door opens to a small mezzanine which in turn leads either upstairs or downstairs to various parts of the house. Upstairs comprises of 4 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, an elegant lounge with open fireplace and French doors accessing the wide rear verandah. This is a beautiful spot to sit and watch the sun go down at the end of a busy day. The Master bedroom also has French doors accessing the verandah, fitted with a retractable fly screen allowing for fresh breezes to drift over you whilst you sleep. Additionally, there is an upstairs small sun room/sitting area between the bathroom and the fourth bedroom.

Downstairs comprises of a graceful family/dining room with slow combustion fire, sun lounge, stand-alone kitchen with huge walk in pantry storage and a laundry with a second shower and WC.

The garden is a child's delight, with stone steps, rambly pathways, a frog haven, a huge walk through arbour covered with Bougainvillea, Honeysuckle and Jasmine and numerous nooks and crannies. A small studio provides a bit of private space for art, yoga (or just hiding from your children) and there is also a 50sqm (approx.) shed/garage and an old original timber shed.
