Hillside VIC 3875

Set on 5 acres with panoramic farmland and mountain views, "Rathfarnham" circa 1905, has been held by the same family for over 60 years. The original homestead would have been one of the grandest in its day featuring, 14ft ceilings, a large entrance hall branching onto 2 spacious living rooms either side with almost floor to ceiling double doors. One wonders what grand parties and dancing would have been held there over the years. Many of the original period features still exist inside and the elaborate brickwork, chimneys and the wide verandahs with ornate fretwork are stunning to those who appreciate the era. In recent times the homestead and what may have been the maid's quarters have been re-roofed. There are five bedrooms, old style kitchen and bathroom that would suit renovation so you may have some modern conveniences while still enjoying the charm of days gone by. The maid's quarters would be a great 6th bedroom or work from home site having a toilet nearby. Surrounded by a delightful establish garden with a paddock for your stock, Rathfarnham would ideally suit those wanting to restore the property to its glory days.
