Country charm in park like surrounds
Who can resist the allure of a beautifully crafted country home? Charming and welcoming – this 100 year old cottage has been totally refurbished and extended into an outstanding four-bedroom residence, combining the best from its past with the contemporary expectations of today. Surrounded by six acres of garden and adjoining farmland, the home also has stunning rural and mountain views. Picturesque gardens add to the tranquil setting with hedges, winding pathways and mature trees in the park-like setting. Wrought iron lacework decorates the front verandah of the Circa 1915 home and many features in the original cottage have been thoughtfully preserved including the high ceilings, original fireplaces, weatherboard exterior and original timber floors in many rooms. Modern convenience has been carefully added and combines seamlessly with the original features to create this beautiful, spacious and interesting home. There are three separate living areas inside plus four bedrooms, two bathrooms and a beautifully crafted office. From the peaceful formal lounge at the very front through the second lounge or rumpus, then on to the open plan family living area across the rear of the home, the emphasis is on a relaxed lifestyle. Original open fires highlight both lounges and the front room has beautiful bespoke cabinetry either side of the mantle for display with added charm from the original windows with wide timber sills. The main living area is a rangy, open plan space and includes the contemporary kitchen, dining area and family room, all warmed by a solid fuel heater. Timber double hung windows line the entire east side of the room and enjoy stunning views across farmland to the Baw Baw Mountains – what a vista! Glass French doors open to the covered north deck, which in turn opens to the solar heated pool – in all, a spectacular indoor-outdoor living zone. Timber floor boards add a rich ambience and the country style kitchen has a full range of modern appliances – and there’s even a cellar. The home office has custom cabinets and opens to the main bedroom suite - a private combination of rooms including a spacious walk in robe and a stunning ensuite with a glass shower, twin vanities and sleek fixtures and finishes. There are three additional bedrooms, each is beautifully presented with quality decor and high end soft furnishings – a constant theme throughout.
The gently sloping acreage well fenced and watered and there’s an excellent four-bay garage/carport (including one bay with a roller door), another single car garage, extensive parking space and sundry shedding servicing the farmlet.
is Positioned along a quiet country road and surrounded by farmland and natural bush, the home was previously owned as the country retreat of wellknown TV personality Denise Drysdale.
