Overview

Showcasing the timeless elegance of a circa 1900 Federation residence, this meticulously maintained home harmonises heritage charm with modern comforts, set amidst approximately five acres of picturesque cottage gardens and pastoral land. The property's tranquil setting offers captivating water views over Surges Bay and surrounding countryside, ideal for those seeking a serene yet functional lifestyle.

The residence features three spacious bedrooms, each with unique character. The master suite enjoys privacy, a walk-in wardrobe, stylish ensuite, and an exclusive covered deck that overlooks the meticulously established gardens and water vistas. The second bedroom reflects the home's heritage with an original fireplace, window seat, and exquisite Federation leadlight windows that bathe the room in natural light; currently it serves as a formal dining area. The third bedroom provides a cosy sanctuary with period features including a fireplace and decorative cornices, complemented by built-in wardrobes.

Year-round comfort is assured with ducted central heating, while original fireplaces add ambiance and the option for natural wood heating. Multiple living areas afford flexibility for family enjoyment and entertaining; a private sitting room adjacent to the master offers a quiet retreat, while an expansive open-plan family, dining, and kitchen zone fosters connection. Another inviting living space featuring a traditional fireplace opens onto a sun deck where the garden and water views enhance the entertaining experience.

The kitchen is thoughtfully designed with ample bench space, abundant storage, and a walk-in pantry, seamlessly connecting to a covered verandah where the gentle sound of a water fountain creates a peaceful atmosphere for guests or personal relaxation. A spacious studio extends the living options, suitable for guests, hobbies, or a home office.

The extensive grounds are equally impressive, featuring established specimen trees, colourful garden beds, stone pathways, a fenced vegetable garden, and greenhouse. Fruit trees yield seasonal produce, while mulching reduces maintenance demands. The property includes infrastructure suited for hobby farming such as two dams, fenced paddocks, livestock shelter, rainwater storage, and a bore to ensure reliable water supply. Additional structures include a single garage, carport, workshop, and chicken coop, supporting a self-sufficient country lifestyle.

This distinguished Federation home offers a rare opportunity to acquire a carefully preserved property that blends historical charm with contemporary living, enveloped by productive and beautiful grounds, perfect for those valuing character, comfort, and rural tranquility.
