When Frank and Maud Smith built this historic homestead in the early 1900's they took the time to select the perfect site. They had lots of land and plenty of experience. They knew that the right aspect, ridgeline, elevation and views would offer their family the most comfortable home possible. The site they chose was absolutely perfect and highly sought after today. Incredible views, north easterly aspect and solid foundations. This home has stood here for over 100 years and now it's your family's turn to write a new chapter of happy memories.
Brookfield is sought after due to its close proximity to the city (this property is just 8 minutes from Kenmore Village Shopping Centre) and rural lifestyle.
The Brookfield Showgrounds, General Store and Brookfield Produce are just 4 minutes down the road. Horse lovers will also love the local Pony Club and your very own arena. This one has got the lot and sitting on 6.8 acres approx (27,390 square meters) of mostly cleared and fenced land.
The two-storey hardwood home has been recently renovated and restored to combine original features with the conveniences of modern living. Sleek granite kitchen, polished floors, two bathrooms and five bedrooms overall. The lower level also opens to a wrap around verandah and enjoys the same amazing valley views as upstairs.
