"Adelphi" c1890 is an unexpected delight exemplifying late Victorian Goldfields Boom style architecture. This impressive double fronted weatherboard home with bull-nose verandah sits within an exquisite well-established garden, setting the romance of old-world charm. Period elegance commences with the coloured glass side-panelled door opening into a spacious formal hallway featuring an Italianate archway. Located off the hallway are three generous bedrooms, with period profile cornices, decorative ceiling roses and double-hung sash windows along with original fireplaces in two of the rooms. A formal dining room connects to the kitchen featuring a gas cooktop, double oven, dishwasher, plumbed refrigerator and a walk-in pantry. To the rear of the house is a large formal living room with north-facing windows overlooking the garden. The home also features a study/home office or potential fourth bedroom with built-in storage and windows taking in the landscape. French doors lead you outside to the slate paved formal terrace area with a fruiting vine-covered pergola. Additional features include a family bathroom, a separate toilet, laundry, ducted heating throughout, an integrated solar system and a split system. The stunning landscaped garden includes mature trees, ornamental planting, espaliered apples and pears along with other fruit trees, a vegetable patch and a chicken pen.
