Hidden behind a heritage wire fence and established gardens, this beautifully renovated circa-1885 Victorian weatherboard residence blends period elegance with contemporary family living on a generous 993m² allotment (approx.).
Lovingly restored and enhanced by an architect-designed extension completed in 2014, the home retains its original character while embracing modern comfort. A lace-trimmed bullnose verandah, traditional arched hallway, polished timber floors, soaring ceilings and ornate fireplaces create an immediate sense of warmth and timeless appeal.
The flexible floorplan offers four generous bedrooms plus a study or optional fifth bedroom, two stylish bathrooms and multiple living areas. Designed with solar passive principles, the impressive extension features soaring raked ceilings, clerestory windows and extensive double glazing, filling the home with natural northern light while enhancing year-round energy efficiency.
At the heart of the home, the beautifully appointed kitchen showcases handcrafted spotted gum benchtops, quality appliances, generous pantry storage and a spacious dining area with a built-in study nook. A sliding barn door opens to the expansive family room, flowing seamlessly onto a Merbau entertaining deck draped in an ornamental grapevine and overlooking established private gardens.
The spacious backyard offers lush lawns, vegetable gardens, a chicken coop, automated irrigation, 14,000L rainwater storage and a large powered workshop and garage.
