The charming 4-bedroom, 1-bathroom home is a welcoming country residence, but a property of this size, with only one neighbour and reserve at two boundaries, offers a broad canvas should you decide to build a new home. The existing home is an expanded 1950s brick and iron structure with the floorplan enlarged by enclosing the original verandahs. The reuse of original doors and windows retains a homestead aesthetic, and the original floorplan is visible where jarrah floors blend with stone that once lined the verandahs. The warmth and patina of period materials create interiors with a sense of authenticity and ample charm.Double front doors lead from the shade of the wide front verandah to a family room with exposed beams, a slow combustion fire, and reverse cycle air-conditioning. Dual aspect glazing frames views of an impressive liquid amber and a row of blossom trees at the front of the home.The kitchen features jarrah benchtops and breakfast bar, a walk-in pantry, a free-standing electric oven and an enamel woodburning stove. Jarrah and stone floors continue in the main bedroom, where built-in robes and a triple-sash window fashion an alcove overlooking the verandah and an expanse of pasture. Three junior rooms offer flexible spaces for children of all ages, the largest of the three juniors is fitted with built-in robes. The shared family bathroom boasts a claw-foot tub with an overhead shower and pressed metal backing.Set to one side of the backdoor are a separate brick shed and a laundry room with a second shower and WC. A high-clearance machinery shelter and lockable shed offer additional storage space.Discovering all the secrets of this 16.1-hectare property will be a magical quest. At the heart of this quest is an enchanted cubby constructed with timber and stone; the gabled cottage with a stone floor, windows formed with found objects, a verandah and a mezzanine is an unmatched setting for hours - and years - of creative play.To arrange an inspection of this property, call Brad Williams on 0408 887 375.
