Nestled at the foot of the Watagan Mountains in Olney State Forest lies a storybook retreat that steps back in time with a beautiful old-world home set on almost 9 glorious manicured acres, rich with character and serenity. From the original 1920s Art Deco home with wraparound verandahs to the thriving fruit orchard and the meandering billabong complete with platypus, wombats and other wildlife, this property is a true paradise on the outskirts of stunning Lake Macquarie, just 1.5 hours North of Sydney CBD.
Enjoy every single day waking up to a blissful view from every window and doorway. You could be forgiven for easily thinking you're in some magical dream. The homestead boasts five bedrooms all with old-world charm including ornate rose ceilings, high skirtings, timber flooring, a fireplace, and loft bedrooms.
The formal lounge is complete with beautiful timber French doors, while the open plan kitchen and meals area is all connected through a wide servery window out to the North facing full-length verandah.
The home is an original 1920s build and is steeped in history, with a fascinating past including being the Toronto Police Station until 1963, a neighbourhood centre, family day care, and Westlakes Community Transport Centre until 1997, when it was moved to its current position as a family home.
Lovingly maintained in keeping with the traditional style and finishes, 132 Wilkinson Road has certainly retained the charm and craftsmanship of its original design, whilst catering to modern family convenience and amenities.
Full-length under-house storage and parking complement the 96sqm barn with triple garage doors, extended height opening, and 48sqm mezzanine storage.
