Superbly located in a quiet cul-desac only moments from the Warragul retail precinct, this glorious property is a rare opportunity to acquire, not just a splendid home, but a slice of history.
One of only four of the original homes in an inner town location, the property has a gracious ambience sitting within a magnificent garden, private and sheltered from busy suburbia.
Built circa 1900, the residence has had many improvements, extensions and families pass through its doors.

The layout includes four bedrooms, two bathrooms, modern well appointed kitchen, spacious open plan family living and meals area, large formal sitting room, utilities and a powder room.
A wraparound verandah, elevated deck and a large paved patio provide a number of options to enjoy the peace and tranquillity of the delightful garden, ever-changing with the seasons.
Many old world features have been retained including high ceilings, Baltic pine flooring, decorative arches, multiple sets of quaint French doors, exquisite leadlight, sash windows and brick fireplaces.
Respectful of the period and style, all the improvements and updates have been designed to complement the original heritage and character.
Social hub of the home is the family living area with the kitchen at the heart.
Crafted cabinetry, stone work surfaces and a glass splashback give the kitchen a refined feel.
Quality appliances include a Kleenmaid 900mm cooker and a Miele dishwasher.
Ample storage is provided by overheads, corner pantry and multiple drawers in the island bench.
Nearby is the utilities room with inbuilt cabinetry and the adjoining powder room.
The main bedroom has a luxurious, restful ambience with outside access to a private deck.
There is also a generous walk-in robe and beautifully styled ensuite featuring a claw foot bath, vanity with inset basin, oversized shower, toilet and a stunning leadlight window.
Two of the remaining bedrooms have robes and original fireplaces.
The family bathroom has a shower, vanity unit and a toilet.
Timeless elegance is also featured in the formal sitting room, a warm and cosy winter room thanks to the inbuilt Jetmaster gas fire.
A gorgeous set of leadlight French doors with overhead transom lead to the verandah.
Modern comforts include ducted gas heating, split system air conditioning and a Jetmaster gas fire in the family living area and ceiling fans throughout for ventilation.
Tailored window coverings, quality carpets in the bedrooms and formal sitting room, 2kw solar unit and a 26,000 litre water tank for the garden are further features.
There is also a high clearance double carport and under house storage.
The home is positioned on an approximately, 1,627m2 allotment, accessed via a semi-circular driveway.
A showpiece in their own right, the gardens are a splendid display of colour and texture, exotic plantings, ornamental trees and magnificent ferns.
In particular, a 100 year old Magnolia Grande Flora keeps watch over the home.
Located in a highly desirable location, the property is a short walk from the Arts Centre, Civic Park, Warragul Primary School and the shopping strip with its collection of boutiques and cafes.
