The solid pine kitchen, with terracotta tiles, tastefully entwines past with present with modern amenities such as a dish washer, electric cook top and oven and an island bench. The open plan kitchen/living area is perfect for entertaining or if you prefer, you can soak up the fresh air on one of two covered outdoor living spaces.
Originally the banking chamber, the front portion of the house has been transformed into a spacious formal dining and lounge area, jam-packed with historical features which pay homage to the home's history. The stunning floor to ceiling pressed tin that envelopes two-thirds of the home has been painstakingly restored to its former glory and is another great conversation starter.
Period charm meets modern living again in the master bedroom with an original fire surround and mantle-piece, high ceilings (pressed metal of course) walk-in-robe and en-suite. A journey down the adjoining hallway leads to a large water closet (complete with chain-pull toilet and pedestal basin), the second and third bedrooms, and the main bathroom. Having undergone recent restoration the generous main bathroom boasts a checkerboard tiled floor, a claw foot tub, large shower cubicle and beautiful wooden vanity cabinet. Across the hall is the large sunlit laundry and linen press which is conveniently located adjacent to the back door.
Red-brick paths wind through established trees and shrubs and just beyond the whimsical tree house and aviary is a separate recreation room complete with a split-system, reverse-cycle air conditioner, kitchenette and covered in veranda.
With independent access off Vernon Street, a three car American-style garage has a concrete floor, power and triple roller doors - perfect for storing lots of toys or for use as a workshop.
The large 2,000 sqm property lets you make the most of rural living with a chicken coop, secure dog kennels and plenty of room for veggie patch plus space to park the caravan or boat.
Rarely do buyers have the opportunity to acquire such a unique and historic residence, located in a peaceful country town just 25Km from the regional centre of Swan Hill.
The top to bottom make over (including stumps and a new roof) means that all of the hard work is done and you can move in and enjoy your slice of living history.
