Overview
This significant residence, dating back to circa 1915, offers a unique opportunity to acquire one of the enduring period homes in Koroit. The property has been treasured by the same family for over a century, positioned on a substantial allotment measuring 1,609 square meters. It stands as a testament to timeless craftsmanship, showcasing original features and classic architectural charm of its era while presenting great potential for future enhancements.
The home’s façade is complemented by a classic return veranda, behind which lie numerous preserved historical details. Features such as ornate fireplaces, pressed metal ceilings, decorative timber work, leadlight windows, and generous room proportions have been meticulously maintained throughout.
The formal lounge serves as a highlight of the property, accentuated by a bay window and an exquisite mahogany fireplace surrounded by detailed period finishes. Adjacent to this space is the formal dining room, which continues the traditional appeal with its distinct pressed metal ceiling.
The floor plan includes four well-sized bedrooms, a functional oak kitchen, a centrally located bathroom, a spacious laundry area, and a separate toilet. Despite its vintage character, the home supports everyday comfort with large windows that allow for plenty of natural light, adding warmth and inviting ambiance to every room.
Over the years, careful upkeep has included fresh paintwork both internally and externally, as well as practical upgrades such as roof guttering fitted with gutter guards, electrical rewiring, plumbing updates, central gas heating, and multiple reverse-cycle air conditioning units to balance modern convenience with the home's historic integrity.
Outdoors, the property benefits from beautifully maintained and mature gardens that create a private and peaceful environment. Established trees and extensive lawns offer a tranquil setting with ample room to incorporate further outdoor features such as a large shed, a swimming pool, additional garden landscaping, or potential further development, subject to council approval.
Located within walking distance to the shopping precinct, cafes, supermarket, hotels, and essential services of Koroit, this home is an extraordinary blend of rich heritage and promising future value. Such an opportunity to own a home of this provenance and character does not frequently become available, making it an exceptional prospect for discerning buyers.
