Once upon a time back in 1907, this unique property was a well-known local General store. A historical country store a place where you would pick up your paper, your milk & candy. In 1968 additional renovations took place to extend the home for multiple purposes. In the 1980 s the store later was known as Homebush Pottery, a place where many great arts & crafts were created. As the property changed hands so did the purpose - caf & hair salon and now a residence -a home! The perfect place to hang your hat and your heart.
In 2017 cyclone Debbie brought one in 100-year event - torrential rain to our area filling Kinchant Dam to 103% of its maximum operating level. As the dam could no longer hold the water the floodgates where released which inundated many surrounding homes & the lower level of this home with approx. 200mm of water.
With most stories, they finish with a happy ending and this truly does. The home was given another lease of life, a complete rebuild, renovation and refurbishment were given to the lower level of the home as per existing Australian building standards, integrating old with new without losing its character & unique charm.
From the moment you enter this home, you will be swept away by the stunning Australian hardwood floors that flow throughout the home. Representing a classical era and a reminiscence of traditional Australian design is the original barn doors to the once run general store, louvers, casements, sash windows & stunning handmade stained glass throughout.
The floor plan and size of the home offer spacious living for all the family with 2 spacious separate living areas and a loft which would make a fantastic retreat or rumpus room for the children. Internal stairs lead from the laundry downstairs to the second level the enclosed veranda which is large enough for the extended family & includes 3 large bedrooms, bathroom including shower/bath & kitchenette. Accessible via the laundry downstairs this addition could return you a second income or would be a great home or guest accommodation for the extended family.
This truly is an outstanding property and must be seen to appreciate its significance.
