If you have ever dreamt of owning a Federation home, then look no further.
This modern interpretation of a federation style home, built in 2018 and designed by Harkaway Homes (specialists in Australian period homes) will spoil you. If you have ever been concerned about buying an original Federation home but dread the plumbing and electrical issues, then fear not, this one's as new.
From the moment you enter you will see why this style of home is so popular. Lead lights, finials, decorative ceilings it's all here.
With 3-metre-high ceilings throughout and the wide hallway you get the sense of space right away. The 3 bedrooms are oversized with the master featuring a beautiful ensuite. Classic tiling and claw bath for heritage, but also modern features like walk in frameless shower and large walk-in robe.
The other 2 bedrooms one with large built-in robes and the other being used as a very spacious home office with bay window that overlooks the tree lined driveway and country views. You may get no work done.
The living area is also, of course, very generous in size with bamboo timber floors coming all the way from the front door and hall through to the living and dining. A slow combustion wood heater for winter, aircon for back up and for summer cooling.
The kitchen is perfect and practical, again highlighting the style. By hiding away the dishwasher and modern appliances it pays homage to another time but also spoils you with the best of today's world.
A large butler's pantry is perfect for a home located out of town and a step away, is the fully loaded laundry which features a pull-down ladder to access a huge attic/roof space storage area.
No copper tub here, all decked out for modern appliances as well and the kitchen, pantry and laundry have massive cupboard and storage capacity for all your nick-nacks.
The main bathroom is conveniently styled like a 3 way, meaning you can have someone cleaning their teeth, one in the gorgeous claw bath (yes, another one) or shower and a separate toilet. Great for families.
Wide 2.4m verandahs on three sides, casement and double hung windows, fretwork it's all here.
Those verandahs take in the valley views to the East and South looking down to the Bega River, plus farmland to the West and North of the property. A rare feature here is the ability to pump from that river, with 45,000 litres of storage supplying the automated irrigation system to the garden plus numerous taps throughout. The house is serviced by two tanks with the capacity to carry 95,000 litres. You will never runout.
The 6.4 acres is fully fenced. Have some stock, buy a horse, or get a cow. Great size block for kids and beautifully laid out with all-weather compacted driveway, lots of fruit and deciduous trees plus great gardens and yes, we have a great shed. 2 bays with a carport to the side.
Under the house is ample storage suitable for those things you rarely use and a perfect hideaway for the tools and your ride-on.
This home has so much to offer, just 10 minutes from Bega but capable of transporting you back to a time where life was way less complicated in a home that reflects the history of this great nation, but mostly the soul that modern homes lack.
