'Kelso' is a residence of rare distinction-an elegant Federation-era home circa 1924, thoughtfully restored to honour its heritage while embracing modern comfort. Rich in character and timeless in appeal, this grand property stands as a testament to craftsmanship of a bygone era, where soaring 12-foot ceilings, original panelling, and exquisite detailing create an immediate sense of scale, warmth, and refinement.
From the moment you arrive, the home's presence is undeniable. A picturesque arbour frames the entrance, leading to a classic wrap-around verandah that invites relaxed living and quiet reflection. French doors extend from each bedroom onto the verandah, blurring the line between indoors and out while capturing natural light and gentle breezes throughout.
Inside, 'Kelso' offers remarkable versatility, with multiple living zones designed for both grand entertaining and intimate family living. The expansive open-plan living and dining area, anchored by a double combustion fireplace, forms the heart of the home, while a separate living room-complete with its own fireplace and kitchenette-provides a private retreat or ideal guest accommodation. The kitchen is both functional and beautiful, featuring a farmhouse sink, double oven, dishwasher, wine fridge, generous pantry, and large stained glass windows that frame the surrounding greenery. Thoughtful finishes and quality fixtures elevate every space, reflecting a home that has been meticulously curated and maintained.
Accommodation is abundant, with six beautifully appointed bedrooms, plus a dedicated study. The master suite is a sanctuary of its own, complete with a spacious ensuite bathed in natural light. Additional bathrooms are stylishly appointed, including one with a striking open rain shower, ensuring comfort and convenience for family and guests alike.
Outdoors, the property continues to impress. Established gardens-rich with mango, avocado, fig, citrus, and more-create a private, almost self-sustaining oasis. Entertaining is effortless with a vine-covered deck, shaded alfresco spaces, and a sparkling swimming pool, all designed to embrace the relaxed rhythm of country living.
