Set on approximately 6,819 sq m in the peaceful surrounds of Eldorado, this beautifully restored Federation residence combines period character with thoughtful modern improvements, a 6-star energy rating, established gardens and the infrastructure to support a relaxed and productive country lifestyle.
From the outset, the home is distinguished by its classic Federation detailing and established garden setting. Inside, polished timber floors extend through the wide central hallway, complemented by 14-foot ceilings, ornate cornices, ceiling roses and plantation shutters, creating a sense of scale while retaining the warmth and character of the original home.
The central living and dining spaces provide an inviting setting for everyday life and entertaining, with large windows drawing in the northern light and taking in views towards the surrounding granite ranges.
At the heart of the home, the stylish country kitchen combines practicality with timeless appeal, featuring stone benchtops, a substantial island bench with a classic 110cm Falcon freestanding stove.
Positioned alongside is the dining area creating a natural gathering place for family and friends, while the Lopi wood heater provides a warm focal point during winter. A large Daikin reverse-cycle split system and ceiling fans ensure comfort throughout the year.
The generous living areas make entertaining easy, with plenty of room to gather, relax and enjoy the outlook.
Three well-appointed bedrooms provide comfortable accommodation, each with built-in robes, while the beautifully styled bathroom features a resin bath and generous double shower.
The home's extensive renovation has included complete restumping, a new galvanised iron roof and gutters, rewiring, replumbing, full insulation to the roof, walls and underfloor, replastering and fresh interior and exterior paintwork.
Outside, the property really comes into its own. The fully fenced allotment is surrounded by mature trees and beautifully established low-maintenance gardens, with a northwest-facing alfresco deck providing an elevated and private place to relax while taking in the peaceful bushland outlook.
For those seeking a productive country garden, the property offers considerable appeal. Fertile decomposed red granite soils support a mature orchard of apples, pears, citrus, stone fruit and avocado, alongside raised vegetable beds and a dedicated chook yard and run. Established garden beds are serviced by a bore-fed drip irrigation system, while a substantial 110,000-litre rainwater tank harvests water from the house and shed.
A reliable bore provides water for the orchard and gardens. The perimeter fencing has also been dog-proofed, making the grounds well suited to those with pets.
The impressive powered Colorbond shed provides exceptional flexibility for cars, hobbies, storage or workshop use. Designed with a striking 45-degree roof pitch, it incorporates a substantial mezzanine area above, while the high-clearance workshop provides scope for a future hoist or car stacker.
Fast fixed-wireless NBN, excellent insulation, abundant water storage, productive gardens and substantial shedding complete a property that offers far more than a beautiful period home.
For buyers seeking a genuine country lifestyle without sacrificing comfort, character or infrastructure, 51 McGregor Street presents an exceptional opportunity to establish a home with space to grow, garden, create and enjoy.
