Locally, and affectionately, known as 'Mrs., Fox's house', this 3-bedroom slice of Lobethal history holds pride and prime place behind the main street of a thriving, tight-knit town.
You know it as home to those iconic lights; but to this strong, supportive community, life in Lobethal is a year-round mecca for events and festivals.
And thanks to its quiet, yet supremely convenient, position on the doorstep of the local Centennial Hall and Cinema, this upgraded character home gives you a front row seat.
What a seat it is when the hallmarks of the early 20th century home (as built by the Fox family) have been preserved to perfection alongside modern upgrades, where they matter most.
From the sandstone of its repointed façade to the colourful leadlight, pine floors, and 3m-high decorative ceilings of its interior; the charm is palpably perfect.
Three big bedrooms and a lounge room that loves romantic nights by the combustion fire sing a song of space and natural light.
In a home that could be extended on its 992sqm block, the extensively renovated bathroom and rear kitchen - headlined by a 700mm Emilia duel fuel oven and 5-burner stove - prove that you don't have to do anything at all.
And why would you when the kitchen grants views of a most serene rear yard, where your private creek and spring - alongside fruit trees and local wildlife - whisk your troubles away and keep your kids away form the Ipad.
In fact, life here feels so removed that it's hard to believe your front door sits just metres from those rock star seats to the Tour Down Under and Christmas Pageant.
