The front garden of the Blue House became his dahlia and gladioli nursery with an original bay tree still standing in the centre.
The timber home with the big, iron lace-trimmed front verandah is reminiscent of the good old days and is filled with personality. Successfully combining it's yesteryear charm with today's comforts, it now features three big bedrooms, the main with robes and ensuite. Formal living room at the front with adjoining study includes brick fireplace flanked by original cabinetry and both rooms enjoy sweeping views over the front garden through beautiful lead light windows.
Original features include polished timber floors, high, decorative ceilings and open fireplaces, while ducted gas heating an evaporative cooling have been added for comfort.
A spacious extension at the rear designed with a touch of nostalgia includes open living, dining and kitchen areas with timber lined ceilings and brick chimney incorporating a cosy solid fuel heater.
A side deck is ideal for outdoor entertaining or soak up the sun in the perfectly private rear garden edged with dry stone stacked walls and old brick paved paths.
An original timber structure with cellar makes a great studio/bungalow in the back corner, plus garden shed, rainwater tanks and double carport.
