Description

Located in a recognised historic residential precinct close to the city heart, this superbly restored brick colonial offers an enduring legacy for those passionate about classic homes. Set on an elevated 1212 m2 original surveyed position, the home represents all that is desired in a true character residence. High pressed metal ceilings, polished hardwood pine floors, cedar joinery, brick fireplaces and beautifully proportioned rooms. There are 5 bedrooms in all (main with a clever new ensuite), a study, an absorbing parlour and equally generous formal dining room. The timeless, appealing modern kitchen and spacious family room have been seamlessly positioned with the 1890's extension. Original stables are now commodious car accommodation; a fully equipped bore provides abundant water for the established grounds and traditional paved herb and vegetable garden. A careful, thorough and loving renovation over 17 years has returned this significant home to pristine order guaranteeing decades of enjoyment for the next fortunate owner.
