The original church has been left as original, a versatile space that would make the perfect venue for a business pursuit such as tearooms, bed and breakfast or acoustic music or wedding venue (S.T.C.A). Alternatively it can act as a large entertaining space that compliments the rest of the home.
The original church features thick stone walls, stained glass (green and apricot glass), Baltic pine ceiling and floor (currently carpeted), as it was erected in 1906 giving this listing a unique, historic appeal. Directly behind the church is the main entry/office to the house and a toilet with glass basin and mosaic surround - a theme you'll see carried throughout the home. Opposite the entrance is the kitchen with large freestanding, stainless steel electric oven, gas cooktop and stainless steel range.
The home area was designed around the huge timber beams that run the width of the building. A beautifully crafted timber floor hallway with curved, mid height timber wall structure, creates a loungeroom space featuring wood burning fire and custom-built hardwood cabinetry and planter wall. This space invites air to flow and light to gently filter through, casting lovely shadows, and assisting with economic heating and cooling, with all new electrical wiring and plumbing.
Bedrooms two and three feature arch doorway walk-in-robes, replicated from the church; and large windows overlooking the side of the property letting in lots of natural light. The bedrooms and bathroom have the added character of beautiful antique leadlight panel doors, making each room feel like a sanctuary.
A built-in laundry sits opposite double courtyard doors adjacent the lounge, and next to this is a large family bathroom with slumped glass vanity bowl on Cypress timber bench, with recycled Baltic matchboard lined ceiling. The bath features unique mosaic accents and there is a separate shower and toilet, with ample storage hidden behind a full length mirror.
At the far end of the home is a full width, north facing sunroom that could be utilised as a rumpus, entertaining space, music room or fourth bedroom and features a built in bar area with sink and large window overlooking the spectacular garden to the mountain views.
Energy efficient LED lights run through the majority of the home with feature hanging lights in the hallway and lounge. An environmental AA Worm Farm septic system and evacuated tube solar HWS complete this home, perfect for environmentally conscious occupiers.
The outdoor areas have not been forgotten with a concrete floor garage and adjoining carport positioned by a courtyard with metal screens that create privacy, and enhance the Mediterranean feel with Salt Creek gravel surface.
Additional outbuildings include a cubby house and garden shed and the established garden features a secluded sunken firepit area, and is a green-thumbs paradise with space to explore and get creative.
This is a unique opportunity to live in a character laiden historic property with modern conveniences, which has the potential to evolve with the needs and ideas of the buyer.
Sale includes the Church Pew, the Wall Cross and some furniture
