With most property allotments of this size now subdivided, it is refreshing to see an original half-acre holding still intact. Although the property is sub dividable subject to council consent (STCC), it is presented to the market as a whole and as a reminder of how members of the community used to live when the region was settled in the 1800's. Whilst the current vendors accept that the property does not necessarily have to remain in tact it would be a shame to make way for development and lose such a well-established garden setting.
The original symmetrical stone cottage is beautiful. The bull nose verandah and roof have been renewed in recent months and the cellar room out the back has had a cute little make over with smart new filament lighting. Automatic front gates make access to the property effortless and the paved driveway, off street parking and two car carport have even been completed with meticulous care and in keeping with the overall look and feel of the property.
There is a workshop and small shedding scattered about the property and a chook run tucked into the back corner ensuring an endless supply of natures best fertilizer for the garden. Permanent garden seating has been crafted in strategic locations around the grounds and rainwater storage is ample if you ever feel like switching over from the connected bore or mains water.
The house is simply gorgeous from every angle including the outdoor entertainment area that melds seamlessly into the garden, the main house and the two exterior rooms that make up the cellar room and the recently renovated laundry. With access from the large entertainment area directly into the home, the floor plan throughout is appealing and functional. A semi open plan style, the kitchen, main living and dining area are spacious but offer a sense of country warmth with exposed timber, exposed stonework and rustic architectural features that have been cleverly added to property extensions over the years ensuring the architectural integrity of the property has remained intact. There is a separate formal dining room off the kitchen with a fireplace and reclaimed stained glass church windows, and each of the two bathrooms, three bedrooms and original hallway have been well preserved since they were first built over 100 years ago.
A delightful and unique property 'Killara' will thrill garden lovers and those who appreciate timeless architecture in a very convenient and central Hills and Valley location. With many more features to discover an inspection of this property is highly recommended for those with discerning and classic tastes.
