An era and style so carefully recreated that it doesn't look or feel recreated at all; that's the magic - and genius - of this solid stone-fronted, 4-bedroom beauty with the soul-soothing, elevated outlook to match its enviable sense of seclusion at the crest of some three acres.
The maker was none other than Federation Homes: the authority on reproduction builds in South Australia - and the reason why this bespoke 2006-built abode will stay forever timeless at the head of a sprawling plot with two paddocks, stables/shelters and feed sheds.
The Tasmanian stone of its looming facade faces the township of Littlehampton in the distance - giving the big bay windowed lounge room arguably the best seat in a solar-powered house pieced together by quality, skilfully forged features.
With just under 200sqm of internal living; the likes of its solid timber floors, 3m-high decorative ceilings, leadlight, tessellated tiles, hand-crafted timber window and door frames, vintage cast iron claw bath, and King George era fireplaces shine with a sense of grandeur.
With that beautiful salute to the past - which also includes a shaker style chef's kitchen with black granite tops, double oven and dishwasher - comes a layout born for the uncompromising demands of a large, growing family.
The kids have their wing. You have your yours where a spacious bay-windowed master boasts a walk-in robe, ensuite and near instant access to bedroom 4/office/baby nursery.
At the end of the day, the family will always meet in the middle, where that striking kitchen feeds expansive open-plan living and a purpose built alfresco patio/pavilion with the prowess to host big summer BBQ. The reproduction...that knows how to throw a party.
