Last Listing description (June 2024)

This 1915 federation home displays the era's original character, charm, and features. Coupled with the beautifully manicured lawns and gardens, this property deserves an inspection. The entrance veranda to the residence is ideal for relaxing and enjoying an afternoon refreshment whilst watching the world go by.
Upon arrival at this stunning residence, you are immediately impressed by its picture postcard front yard and the beautiful entrance with period glasswork and solid timber door. The wide hallway has a twelve-foot-high ceiling with the original polished timber floor, an ornate hall arch, a massive mirror, and a period timber closet.
This massive residence includes four to five extra-large bedrooms, three with robes, and a vast bathroom with a large bath, separate shower, vanity, toilet, and storage cabinets. The open plan living, kitchen, dining, and lounge area is spacious and welcoming with its period features of timber-lined walls and ceilings, island bench, dishwasher, and free-standing electric oven with cooktop and rangehood.

The large free-standing wood heater provides warmth during the cooler months, whilst the high ceilings, ceiling fan, and airflow throughout the property keep the home cool and comfortable during the warmer summer months. The lounge area is light and airy, with the winter sun flooding the room, making it the heart of the property.
Adjacent to the kitchen is a large pantry and a room for a fridge and freezer.
The sunroom provides a great position on those winter days to relax and enjoy a cuppa and the suns warmth and also doubles as an internal clothes-drying area on rainy days. The laundry is large, with a wash tube, shelving, and a large storage cabinet.
The dining room opens onto an enclosed courtyard that offers a private entertaining area as well as entry to the two-stored "Stables" building which provides unlimited opportunities to develop as a B&B, parents or teenage retreat, extra storage, or would make an excellent "man cave" or workshop and is currently serviced with power, water, and a separate toilet. The development options for this area are endless.
Due to its size, this property is both a gardeners and childrens paradise for play and growing vegetables and flowers all year round.
The small quiet village of Forest has a General Store that offers excellent service and most everyday grocery items and is open seven days a week. The local primary school is only a short walk, and the Forest Sports Centre has a tennis court and a great childrens playground, and on Sunday, the Blackberry Inn is always open for a drink and a very friendly chat with the locals. Forest is an excellent village for young families with children and retirees looking for a quiet lifestyle.
The townships of Smithton and Stanley are only a fourteen-minute drive for all your other needs and for fishing, boating or just a walk along the beach.
This property is a considerable 3,188m2 and has two titles, so subdivision is an option if required.
