This beautiful heritage home has quietly whiled away the decades from its private position, opposite parkland in California Gully. Life will likewise be peaceful when you choose to become its proud new owner. The sage green-and-cream weatherboard wears its heart on its heritage façade, which features ruby red leadlight glass and a classic veranda of iron lace. Step inside to find the period features continue, such as high, timber-lined ceilings and wide skirting and lining boards. There are three soft carpeted bedrooms, all with built-in robes. At 5.4 x 3.5m, the master suite has space for a parent’s retreat. It has a ceiling fan and double French doors which lead to a patio and deck, framed by standard roses. Yes, it’s romantic. The central loungeroom also has loads of character, thanks to its exposed brick feature with solid fuel heater and timber shelving. More French doors swing open to the side garden. A ceiling fan and split system ensure easy year-round comfort. The kitchen is in keeping with the heritage charm, with its white painted cabinets and timber benchtop. There’s a pantry cupboard, plus ample space for an island bench and a dining table. The wet areas are cleverly clustered together. There’s a four-piece bathroom, with deep clawfoot bath and traditional tiling, a second, separate toilet, and large family laundry. A definite plus of a period home is a large title, and this one comes with 1123m2 of glorious space. There’s an undercover brick paved entertainment area off the house, plus a deck designed to catch the sun. Established shrubs and trees form the base of a beautiful garden, as does the proud old peppercorn in the backyard. Three garden sheds are handy additions, and there’s plenty of off-street parking. Anyone dreaming of a period property should act fast to inspect this home. It’s presented to perfection and an absolute pleasure to experience.
