1135 Elmhurst-Glenpatrick Road

Glenpatrick VIC 3469

Glenpatrick is amazingly beautiful - a winding, deep, dry riverbed lined with fallen tall gums and forever-washed pebbles follows the unsealed road. Softer undergrowth contains crumbling stone remnants from the days of gold hungry miners of the 1850's. This property sits naturally into an environment which would test a builder's strength and his vision.
THE HOUSE:from the outside the asymmetrical roof line(seemingly at odds) contradicts the interior with entry into a hallway (and once past the manic workshop) then revealing beautiful carpentry, stone floors and comfort. It is immaculately presented where finished, including an open plan kitchen/meals plus sitting area with an adjacent bedroom. A bathroom with basin, bath (quality taps) and washing machine is opposite the toilet. Stairs take you to a second level of build, with the second bedroom leading to a large open space with cedar framed windows and a balcony overlooking the bush. A doorway to the front ceiling space (adjoining) reveals construction. The materials here include the iron beams and cedar uprights. This area (again huge) requires someone with building knowledge to finish and materials for this are on site to remain with the property.
Photos show completed work (exterior is brick, stone and galv iron) internal floors and walls are stone, timber is cedar. Talent and hard work, both, are apparent in this house.
