Exuding picturesque, period, country charm, and set on a flat, clean and paddocked 20 acres, this modern home represents quintessential country living in the Yass Valley. Welcome home, to number 3 Yellow Box Place. Perched high – and just right – in a tightly held pocket of Manton (with easy access to Canberra via the Barton Highway, and direct access to Sydney via the Hume) this stunning home presents an outstanding opportunity to cement your foothold in the premium rural lifestyle market in the Yass Valley. Period-style verandah’s protect and charm the front and rear (South and North, respectively) aspect (and timber decks) of the home, while a large pitched roof provides grandeur and stature to this modern take on period country charm. Presenting four large bedrooms (along with a smaller fifth, or nursery) and three bathrooms (plus seperate toilet), an oversized double-internal access garage, and spanning a versatile and amiable floorplan across two floors, the layout of this home is appealing and flexible. Serviced and complimented by a range of living areas, downstairs includes a large open plan kitchen, dining and family room (with an expansive east-facing steepled window, and open fire place), dedicated media space and a home office or rumpus with kitchenette. Upstairs, a large parents’ retreat attached to the master (a large room serviced by a large walk-in-robe, ensuite and private north-facing balcony) flows to a smaller (fifth) bedroom, nursery or study, while the large guest studio room bears an attached living space with a bright, northerly aspect. While high-end finishes throughout abound, an eclectic mix of reclaimed items bring charm and character inside – including reclaimed sash windows in various places, doors and stained-glass panels. Tall ceilings in all rooms of the home provide air, space and light, while the shapes of ceilings flow with the unique style of roof internally – a clever use of geometry and symmetry, highlighting the quality and unique nature of construction. Outside, this clean and flat 20 acre block has been segmented into a range of paddocks, including 4 large holding paddocks for horses or stock (largely cleared of any rock), a smaller paddock for use as a thorough fair or smaller holding paddock, and an expansive house paddock with large dam and cleared, flat space suitable for the construction of further infrastructure (shedding, round yards, or arena). Water is provided by a 120,000ltr tank, gas is plumbed through the house by bottle, and electricity is provided through the town grid. Council bin collection is available, as is satellite NBN.
