Space for all the Family and Convenient to Town

Positioned in a private cul-de-sac amongst well maintained, established homes, number 2 Wattle Court, Warragul is not the typical brick veneer dwelling you would expect to find, but an architectural treasure, timeless in design.

Built by Fasham Johnson, the residence was innovative for its time where capitalising on the natural light and northerly aspect was recognised as playing an important role on the interior living spaces of the modern home. Rooms were orientated around a central courtyard with large windows throughout effectively bringing the outdoors in. Concepts still relevant today, the home is a superb example of this now popular approach to modern design and layout.

There are four bedrooms, two bathrooms, large living room, kitchen with an adjoining meals/family living area and a home office.

A central, partially covered courtyard caters for outdoor living and there is also a smaller sheltered patio. The double garage URL has rear access to the courtyard which allows covered entry into the home. Additional improvements include a 9m x 7m powered Colorbond shed/workshop at the rear of the 1,287m2 allotment, which can be accessed via double gates at the side of the home.

Level and low maintenance, the surrounding gardens feature neat lawn and border beds of flowering shrubs.

Step inside to a light, airy foyer with tiled flooring and a natural timber lined ceiling. To the right is bedroom two, opposite is the main bedroom with a walk through robe to the ensuite including a shower, vanity and a separate toilet with an additional hand basin, which can also be accessed directly from the foyer.

A double cupboard also near the front entry is convenient for coats and storage. Along from the entrance is the main living room where the cathedral ceiling creates a feeling of space, an impressive brick open fireplace adds a warm organic element. Adjoining is the kitchen/meals and family living area. Slate flooring is a practical choice here complemented with a raked timber lined ceiling, a feature found throughout the home. Climate control is provided by ceiling fans and a gas wall furnace in both living areas, together with a split system air conditioner and a solid fuel heater in the family room. Extensive glazing overlooks the central courtyard and allows the sun to passively warm the interior on the cooler days. Functional and immaculately maintained, the kitchen includes white cabinetry, green laminate countertops, gas hot plates, under bench oven, dishwasher, a double pantry and a small appliance cupboard.

A window above the sink overlooks the smaller patio and perfectly frames a gorgeous maple tree with all its vibrant colour. Double doors off the living area open to the home office, multiple glass doors from both living areas connect to the outside.

The two remaining bedrooms, family bathroom with a spa bath, shower and a vanity, the laundry, double linen press and a separate toilet, accessed from both the bathroom and the laundry, are located off a hall from the kitchen. Built-in robes are included in the three secondary bedrooms, a work desk and shelving is found in the study.

One of the secondary bedrooms and the main bedroom also have a ceiling fan.

The property is enviably positioned within proximity of St Paul’s Grammar School, parkland and the Warragul Country Club, a children’s playground for younger family members is just around the corner.
