FOR THE OLD SOUL WITH AN APPRECIATION FOR STYLE

*** EXCLUSIVE LISTING ***

Believed to date back to 1897, it is almost unfathomable that a property of 130 years of age could be in such impeccable condition – you can feel the history in the walls, and the care that was taken by its original architect. Stained glass windows adorn the front door, expansive sash windows invite in mountains of natural light to the bedrooms, and original fireplaces with beautiful marble mantels and hand-painted tiles bring a winter warmth to the main bedroom and lounge. The current custodians of this home have elevated the home by adding tasteful modern upgrades like the bay window daybed in the main bedroom, modern stove top within the original kitchen fireplace hearth, freestanding tub in the bathroom, and decorative patio tiles to front and back. All these elements work in unison with the original design.

Upon entering the property, all three bedrooms are to the right of the hallways, with the lounge and bathroom sitting in the middle of the house, and the kitchen/dining and scullery to the back – which lead out to an incredibly quiet, private, sheltered courtyard under a mature (Haas) fruit-bearing avo tree. A tanning deck sits adjacent to a plunge pool (with cover) that steps down to an astroturf garden with corner outdoor fireplace/pizza oven and alfresco dining area. In true Victorian style, an outhouse has been revamped into a guest cloakroom with basin and an outdoor shower.

There is a shaded lane along the west side of the house which houses a garden shed. The automated single garage can open both sides to create a drive-through, with parking (in tandem) for another car in front of the garage behind a secure gate. The house has excellent security, a back up inverter, and plans (underway) for expansion into the roof space to create a further accommodation.
