A much-loved, historic Moruya house, home to just two families since its construction circa 1900, this property has beautiful architectural features of the era and is a haven of tranquillity and timeless beauty. This is a unique opportunity to own a piece of local history.
Ideally positioned on a gentle north-facing knoll on 4,048sqm block close to the lovely Moruya River and with rural views, this property also has the unusual advantage of town water supply and of being within a short drive of the charming Moruya township. The town centre includes boutique shops, a department store, cafes, a bookshop, Council library, banks, popular weekly farmers' markets, medical centres, and a new regional hospital is proposed.
The current owners have lovingly restored the house, and modern alterations combine with the beautiful historical details to offer comfortable living surrounded by delightful established gardens which are a haven for a great variety of birds. The alterations include fully renovated bathrooms, kitchen and laundry and a dreamy sunroom with vistas over the ever-changing gardens. The roof was replaced in 2013, and the plumbing and electrical wiring have been replaced and upgraded.
From the moment you arrive at the property, the home's unique charm is evident. You enter to a wide entrance hallway with high ceilings, branching off to the living and dining rooms, both highlighted with heritage features including picture rails, original pendant lights, and open fireplaces with original timber surrounds. Character and charm continue through to the three bedrooms and study, the main bedroom's French doors leading on to the wrap-around verandah.
