"Mavista".... Lovingly restored c.1930 Jarrah clad home on two allotments .... Delightful gardens
This unique and visually stimulating weatherboard jarrah home has been restored with a considerate eye to its past and sympathetically updated with an eye to the future.
Built c.1930 Bungalow style in an elevated position over two levels, the home and gardens have been extensively improved over the last 23 years by the current owner while maintaining the essential "fabric and feel" of the original home.
Artistically decorated it is warm and inviting, being a home of architectural charm and interest and a place of peace and tranquillity.
You will need to see to appreciate, but items of interest include:
• Built across a double allotment (Lot 30 and 31) being 1650 m2 in total (approx.)
• Tough as nails aged Jarrah construction with polished jarrah floors.
• Many intact 1930's fittings including leadlight and open fireplace.
• Near-new bathroom renovations re-built to include the original cast iron bath.
• Welcoming "heart of the home" kitchen/living with artisan Red-gum benchtops, King William Pine cupboards and cosy combustion heater.
• Amazing upper-level verandah and balcony with tree-lined vistas across the valley.
• Two large bedrooms with the flexibility of a third bedroom/study/kids playroom.
• Heating and cooling with gas and wood heating plus a r/c split a/c system.
• Carport and old storage shed plus under-croft storage and fabulous secure cat-run.
• Several rainwater storage tanks.
It's only once in a blue moon that such a delightful and individual home comes onto the market. If you love history and creative flair, then you must see this.
