Grand Home on Just Over Half An Acre
This grand old home built in 1924 by the town Doctor features materials he imported from Great Britain for his new family residence. Situated on over half an acre (2044m2) this regal home is unique. Upon entry the eye is immediately drawn to the lead light windows which feature through several rooms depicting acorns as an adjunct to the large oak tree in the front yard. The hallway from the main entrance features a large timber archway and lead light windows. On entry to the front formal lounge your eyes are immediately drawn to the bay window seat from where views of the front garden can be taken. An antique cast iron open fire place with tiled sides is a feature here. With timber floors throughout the home, including the 3 bedrooms, a warm ambience is created throughout. The family room also features a separate formal entrance from the side verandah; a good spot to enjoy the afternoon sun. The family room is large (6.4m x 4.6m) and, also with lead light windows depicting acorns, and is warmed with a large slow combustion wood heater, and a ducted evaporative air conditioner is throughout the home. The kitchen and bathroom have recently both had extensive renovations. The kitchen has retained the antique and rare Metters wood stove which can still be used, plus the modern electric oven and dishwasher. Having a large work area including the island bench, this kitchen would be a joy in which to create many family dinners. The dining area is over a dry cellar (an added bonus). The main bathroom features a claw foot bath, double vanity, separate glass shower cubicle and toilet. At the rear of the home is an additional shower and toilet conveniently located for the active gardener. Access to the outdoor entertaining area through the French doors from the dining area offers a sheltered play area from the winds on the eastern side of the house. Here children have room to race their bikes! Shedding consists of a double car shed plus a separate single car shed which is used as a workshop. Behind this shed are 2 large 7000g rainwater tanks which are plumbed to the home.
