This wonderful house was built in 1860 as a delightful little cottage, and later tastefully extended at the rear to create a large modern home. Set on approximately 1493m² the property offers a beautiful 3 or 4 bedroom house with 90m² of living space, filled with character and intrigue. This is definitely not your average "cookie cutter" home.
At the front of the property is a lock-up garage, 3 carports, and a rumpus room currently is used as a gym and sauna room. Out the back of the property, you find a fabulous Tuscan-styled, under-cover, alfresco dining area and stunning gardens, lawns, paved courtyards, a fire pit, a fountain, a garden shed, a vegetable garden, a large orchard and large rainwater tank. Everything you ever wanted is here for you.
Step inside through the French doors to a generous, open plan dining/lounge area, with a bay window that catches the afternoon sun, a flame effect gas heater to keep you cozy on winter nights, and a reverse cycle air conditioner for cooling and heating. The kitchen is centrally located, well appointed, and full of light, thanks to the big windows and the skylight. The second lounge room has a feature brick wall and beautiful timber ceiling as well as a wood fire with an original carved mantle and surround. There is also another reverse cycle air conditioner in this room. 2 bedrooms have large built-in robes with full-length mirrors. The 3rd bedroom features a lovely sandstone fireplace with a useable open fire, and timber floor and ceiling. The 4th bedroom, is smaller and currently used as a sunroom as it features windows on 3 sides that catch all day sun. This would also be a great office.
The house offers the buyer a flexible floor plan to suit your family and your furniture. This is also a great investment property, with room for 1 or 2 self-contained units on the block if desired or the block could easily be subdivided into 2 blocks (S. T. C. A.). The 500-gallon water tank at the rear of the property combined with the vegetable garden and orchard help to reduce your cost of living and add to your self-sufficiency.
