One of the best quality, faithfully renovated homes near Pingelly has just been listed for sale by Elders Real Estate agent Jeff Douglas.
Built in the 1920s using stone carefully collected by hand on the property, the home stands as a monument to multi-generational human endeavour and has been greatly enjoyed by the current owners who have cared for it for a lifetime.
The home enjoys an elevated location with extensive rural views from the verandah and is sheltered within a well cared for garden featuring mature shrubs, healthy lawn and a large fully covered orchard.
Visitors to the home are immediately impressed with the authentic style of the rear deck where many an afternoon has been whiled away enjoying a meal with friends and family accompanied by birdsongs from the garden.
The home was treated to a significant renovation in 2012/13 with the owners taking great care to maintain or even improve the period character of the home. The result is a home that exudes quality, is very comfortable and offers a practical home with classical style.
There are three bedrooms, two of which open into a classical centre hallway and also have doors that open onto the verandah. A large yet cosy formal lounge room is a central feature of the home. Timber ceilings and wood carved ceiling roses offer a warm, natural aesthetic with striking visual appeal.
The galley kitchen blends well into the main dining room with its timber flooring and wide french doors that open onto the rear deck. There is a second bathroom to the side of a modest study. The main bathroom is furbished with classic style fittings including a claw foot bath.
The home is complemented by an adjacent multiple vehicle brick and iron garage with concrete floor, power and water connected as well as a lock up workshop.
Originally part of a much larger farming aggregation the property has an old cottage (not in habitable condition at present) and several historic farming sheds including the brick stables & chaff room, mud brick machinery shed with lean to, shepherd's hut, several small sheds and sheep yards. Totaling around 40 acres, the land is mainly pastured and is fenced for sheep. Water is from rainwater tanks, a dam with roaded catchment and pump to the garden.
This property offers more than a home, it can form the basis of a whole new lifestyle, with room to move, a relaxed country ambience and still only 10km from the convenience of the town of Pingelly, itself only 160km south east of Perth.
This is a once in a lifetime opportunity being the first time that "Mourambine" has been offered for sale since it was first taken up by the family in 1868. Call Jeff Douglas on 0427 425 689 now to arrange your private inspection of this magnificent property.
