Art Deco home on 1,000m2 allotment

illed with character and maintaining so many original Art Deco features alongside a sizeable, more contemporary rear addition, this unique home also boasts a 1,000m2 allotment with rural views and a secret bonus attic.

Positioned on the high side of the road, this was a classic 1930’s residence when originally built, with three large bedrooms, a beautiful formal lounge connected via cut glass double doors to the formal dining room, a bathroom and rear kitchen.

So many of the charming Art Deco features remain beautifully cared for and untouched in the original home.

Stunning plaster moldings on the high ceilings, decorative cornices, dark timber doors, skirts and picture rails, double hung timber windows, cut glass feature doors, original timber floors and fireplaces – the list goes on.

Each room in the original section is very spacious, typical of the time in which it was built, and most rooms open from the broad front hallway.

Both the formal loungeroom and dining room are carpeted with all three bedrooms and the hallway in this section featuring exposed timber flooring, laid when it was built.

Adjoining the initial part of the home is an expansive new addition including a modern kitchen with timber floors and cabinetry which opens to a huge, carpeted dining area and living space, warmed by one of two Coonarra solid fuel heaters in the home, plus there is also ducted heating

Double glass doors open to a rear covered alfresco and the beautiful views toward Lardner across the near level rear yard.

There is a large powder room and a unique walk in library adds further character in this room with built in shelves enough for a huge book collection.

The recently renovated laundry has loads of bench space and storage and is large enough to act as a mud room for the home.

Upstairs is the secret attic which is a lovely addition

A fully brick paved driveway leads from the road to the double carport, garage and workshop.

Across the front of the weatherboard home is a north facing verandah and a classic garden setting including a fountain.

Immediate to farmland, the property is also very close to schools, the freeway and both Warragul and Drouin townships.
