THIS OLD HOUSE known as THE HAVEN is over 100 years old and is still in excellent condition, thanks to the care of the current owners who have lived here for 30 of those years. Situated on a 1,635 sqm allotment on popular Newlands Drive and with views over farmland to the north this cottage is a rare find in Paynesville. Clad in western red cedar boards and with a wide veranda on three sides the home is in original condition. With high ceilings, formal and informal living areas and many original features it is a delight to inspect. An extensive living/family room, laundry, toilet and bathroom have been added and the kitchen has been modernized to make this a very comfortable home.
NOTE: in 1978 an award winning children's picture story book JOHN BROWN, ROSE AND THE MIDNIGHT CAT featured this old house. Author: Jenny Wagner.
