"Why we like the property" (agent perspective)
Privately nestled within almost an acre of gardens lies this amazing family home. Just five minutes' walk from the Primary School, Kindergarten and historic township with its community hub, shops, restaurants and cafes, it is a truly rare offering in the heart of Romsey. Experience country living whilst having easy access to Melbourne (train station at nearby Clarkfield) and Melbourne Airport (only 30 minutes way) if needed. Whilst the original part of the home was built in 1860, the property has no heritage overlay and no aspects of the property are listed on any heritage register, allowing you to renovate as you wish or knock down and fully develop the land with its two street frontages.
"What the property offers" (property perspective)
Step across the tessellated tiled verandah to discover your new home. With 2 lounge areas, 5 bedrooms, study and 2 bathrooms, there is plenty of room. The interior exudes character; featuring high ceilings, timber floors, decorative cornices, high skirtings, lead light windows and fire places (open fire places and wood heater). There is additional reverse cycle heating and cooling and underfloor heating and heated towel rails in the bathroom. The spacious kitchen features a 900mm De'Longhi oven, 5 burner gas cooktop and double sink. The outdoor alfresco area seamlessly connects to the sun-drenched living and dining rooms and overlooks the garden, perfect for gathering with friends and family. A new roof and 10kw solar power, 2 sheds and a garage with rear access completes the picture. Whilst the property is one title, the studio is rated separately to the main house, allowing for a B&B or granny flat to be created in the studio, which was previously the doctor's surgery for the town.
"What you love about the property" (vendor perspective)
Period features give the home character and natural light floods each room. The strategically planted garden offers privacy and a sense of serenity, but we can step through the front or back gate and it's only a few minutes' walk to the school or shops. The garden features a magnificent oak tree planted in 1894 which compliments the Japanese maples, pear tree, persimmon, magnolias, camellias, rhododendrons, azaleas and well-established trees. The property has been a much-loved family home for us, an amazing place to live.
