Flattened 360 degree image - Great Location
| |
This beautiful red mahogany
weatherboard home set on almost an acre (3327 sq m) was actually
built in the year of Federation - 1901. It's in great condition
and offers 2/3 bedrooms, 2 studios, study, large kitchen/dining
and an absolutely amazing living room/conservatory that is virtually
all glass and takes you into the trees with the birds. And of course
there are high ceilings, polished timber floors, well established
gardens with beautiful old trees, and bullnose verandahs - a rare
offering.
From the moment you arrive at this property
you know you are somewhere special. As you stand at the front door
and look north along the eastern bullnose verandah, you can't help
but be drawn to the table in the north eastern corner and the promise
of what's around the corner on the northern verandah, but let's
come back to the front door and look inside. |

Amazing living room/conservatory |
| |
| The classic
wide hall entry is instantly inviting and through the
door at the end of the hall the living room/conservatory
beckons, bathed in light with birds fluttering in the
trees, but first to the bedrooms. The main bedroom is
beautifully large (5 x 5m) complete with classic Victorian
grate fire place, floor to ceiling built in robes and
of course, polished floors. There's a smaller (2.5 x
4.5m) enclosed verandah room adjoining that offers ensuite
access to the bathroom and makes a fantastic dressing
room, nursery or 3rd bedroom.
The study
is next, with plenty of cupboard space and a cast iron
slow combustion log burner in the original kitchen fireplace.
Through French doors we find bedroom 2 which as big
as the main bedroom and boasts a full wall of combined
built in wardrobe, dressing table and writing desk.
The bathroom has recently been renewed and offers a
deep bath with shower over, small vanity and toilet.
The laundry adjoins and opens onto the back verandah
overlooking the incredibly private backyard.
The kitchen/dining area is huge
(10 x 5m) and the kitchen has Australian cherrywood
cupboards with plenty of bench space, a double sink
with composting chute and filtered drinking water, a
dishwasher, a new electric stove and cooktop and French
doors onto the northern verandah. The dining area enjoys
another set of French doors to the northern verandah
and the slow combustion log burner in the corner can
be used to heat your water in winter as well as warm
the house. The polished timber floors and 12 foot ceilings
throughout are simply magnificent, as are the 10m long
red mahogany lining boards in this room. |

|
| From here we walk through large leadlighted French
doors to the simply stunning living room/conservatory with floor
to ceiling glass on 3 walls and adjoining verandahs on 2 sides.
There's classic parquetry flooring and a feeling of being in
the trees with the birds as you overlook the rare rainforest
in your backyard. There's a separate pine lined studio (converted
original garage) with timber floor. stained glass windows and
kitchen sink, while downstairs there's another studio that's
beautifully private, cool in summer and sunny in winter with
lots of northern light. |

Feel like you're in the trees |
Outside, the garden is
delightful and filled with good old fashioned lilies and bulbs.
There's freesias, jasmine, wisteria, tree gardenia, huge camellias,
holly, perfumed pink azaleas, a classic African Carissa planted
by Dr Hewitt, frangipani, jacarandas, 2 triple crowned cycads, bunya
pines, hoop pines, and grey gums, just to name a few and to say
nothing of the tree ferns and other rainforest species spread over
this large 3327 sq m block. Speaking of the block size - it is sub
dividable, subject to council approval, and with so much room to
move it would be reasonably easy to maintain privacy for this grand
old home.
