Set amongst mature gardens with some excellent shade trees and Ararat Creek gently flowing through the property this character filled mudbrick residence with extensive architectural timber embellishments creates an enthralling and absolutely captivating ambience and appeal. Every room in the house has a story to tell and that story unfolds as dramatically as any social history manuscript!
The residence offers beautifully proportioned accommodation with the luxury of open plan space creating the foil to what is actually a very intimate home. There is a very spacious loungeroom, with banks of timber framed windows overlooking the front gardens, vaulted ceilings and solid fuel heating. Adjacent is a renovated kitchen, with the charm of both a Lacanche cooking range and a modern upright stove set within solid timber cabinetry. Again, picture windows overlook the rear of the property, with the family living area offering access to one of many outdoor living zones; this one accessing to a solar heated swimming pool.
There are three oversized bedrooms, the main bedroom of particularly impressive proportions allowing a lounge suite to not unduly impose upon the room. A spacious walk in wardrobe and an ensuite bathroom complete with a handcrafted vanity and some more modern comforts. The secondary bedrooms are again of an impressive size with built in wardrobes; there is also a light filled study or home office (with access to the rear deck). Downstairs, there is a wine cellar (this was once a bedroom) with powder room adjacent and access to a modified two car garage, which could easily be a brilliant rumpus room. The family bathroom and laundry completes the residence all with the comfort of passive solar and hydronic heating. There are bullnose return verandahs and broad timber decks to three sides of the residence with lovely sitting out areas inviting selection of a restful hiding space to enjoy at leisure.
