Step into timeless charm with this beautifully crafted period-style timber home, nestled on 22 acres in the sought-after Brucedale community, just 10 minutes from Wagga Wagga's CBD. Built by the current owners approximately 30 years ago with meticulous attention to detail, this spacious residence offers a seamless blend of historic character and modern comfort.
The home features four generously sized bedrooms, all with built-in robes, including a master suite complete with a walk-in robe and private ensuite. A separate formal lounge, perfect as a parents' retreat, boasts a cosy inbuilt slow-combustion heater, while the dedicated study offers built-in desk, drawers, and NBN connectivity, ideal for working from home. The main bathroom is well-appointed with a bath, shower, and double vanity.
At the heart of the home lies an expansive open-plan kitchen, dining, and living area, also with a slow-combustion heater and abundant built-in storage. A stunning Blackbutt staircase leads to a spacious, carpeted upstairs area with sweeping views across Wagga. Throughout the home, you'll find polished cypress pine floors, 2.7-metre ceilings adorned with decorative cornices and ceiling roses, period-style windows and doors, ducted zoned gas heating, evaporative cooling, and a rear timber deck perfect for relaxing or entertaining. A large single garage with internal access, a security system, and charming terracotta verandahs complete the home.
Beyond the main residence, this property offers superb additional infrastructure. The fully council-approved detached timber studio, affectionately named "Hotel Corona," includes refrigerated air conditioning, power, town water, and is being sold with contents included. A massive 18.3m x 10.5m Colorbond shed features a separate air-conditioned office, built-in cupboards, a sink, and shelving, making it ideal for a business, hobbyist, or extra storage.
Outdoors, the property showcases established trees and gardens, a small orchard, a front yabby dam, and an ornamental pond near the studio. There's excellent stock fencing on two paddocks with town water-connected troughs. Council DA approval is in place for a potential bed and breakfast (subject to conditions). With daily mail service, weekly rubbish collection, and a school bus stop at the gate, convenience meets country living.
Brucedale is known for its strong community spirit, with regular social events held at the Brucedale Hall, and local access to synthetic tennis courts and the volunteer fire brigade. The property also shares its boundary with the historically significant Brucedale Chapel (circa 1875), and carries its own fascinating story; formerly a horse paddock for students attending the Brucedale School, which opened in 1872 and once counted Dame Mary Gilmore among its pupils.
This is a rare and wonderful opportunity to secure a piece of Wagga's rural heritage, with modern comforts, unmatched character, and a welcoming community ready to greet you.
