Commanding wonderful views to the mountains, yet still within walking distance to Marysville’s main street, this craftsman owner built magnificent mud brick and timber home with almost a chalet feel sits proudly on approx 3405sqm of gently sloping land (with subdivision potential STCA) at the end of a short street.
When you enter this fabulous home through character recycled doors you are greeted by a soaring two storey central void foyer, a massive feature fireplace of approx 3600 second hand (double frog for those with brick knowledge) bricks and Cheminees Philippe wood heater, and a beautiful Victorian Ash handcrafted staircase leading to the upstairs gallery, master suite with double doors to its own balcony, a study area with doors to a rear deck, another bedroom plus a second lounge/relaxation area.
The surrounding countryside and mountains can be appreciated from most rooms of this amazing home. The main living spaces are on the entry level, where you can look out of the bay window while having your breakfast or other meals in the dining area beside the timber kitchen, which has recycled red ironbark kitchen benches, Baltic pine cupboards from approx 140 year old timber, a two drawer dishwasher and a separate large walk in pantry.
The lounge to the right of the open foyer features rather unique Australian Oregon from the nearby Dom Dom area. Behind the lounge is a generous bedroom, and there is a downstairs bathroom with spa near the staircase. For those needing their own office with separate entry plus being part of the house, this has it - and with views! There is also a generous laundry with adjoining powder room near the office.
The master suite referred to above also has its own Victorian style fireplace, a generous ensuite, a walkin robe, and access to additional storage in the loft style roof above the carport.
The impressive use of timber in this beautiful home also includes grey ironbark, radiata pine lining boards upstairs, VJ Ash lining board downstairs and finger jointed kiln dried ash studs. Those who love mud brick homes should be very impressed with this one, which is far from being a mud hut! There are also double glazed windows and several reverse cycle split systems.
There is plenty of room to relax and enjoy the outside of the property also, with covered verandah, paved entertaining area and the previously mentioned decks. Near the driveway entrance there is a concrete pad with services connected which was the site of a shed and studio with loft prior to the 2009 bushfires. Although the shed and some of the nearby buildings are no longer there, this very special and stunning home, which survived the fires, can now be appreciated by a potential new owner. Could that be you?
