With features and charm of a bygone time, this Federation era home also exudes the cosiness of modern day comfort.
A delightful return verandah is the place to take in the beauty of the front garden. Original stained glass surrounds the front door of which one window opens out.
The cavernous master bedroom is resplendent in soft colours, accentuated by the pink diamond cut windows and a timber fireplace.
A spacious en suite has tessellated floor tiles, timber vanity with granite top and walk-in robes.
A second bedroom has a contemporary en suite with shower, basin, heated towel rack and toilet.
Grand is the only way to describe the formal dining room. Here French doors open to the front verandah. There is a marble fireplace, chandelier, window box seat and fine examples of the home’s cornices, architraves and picture rails.
These features reign in the front formal lounge. Another marble fireplace and bay window are classy stand outs here.
A large store room houses a small office and one of the home’s many curiosities, a below ground wine cellar.
The home has been adapted for modern living with an extension at rear. Timeless, the solid Jarrah kitchen has granite bench tops, double oven and new dishwasher. Overlooking the landscaped back garden is a casual dining room and snug living room.
Two sets of French doors open to the cover of verandah’s and paved areas. With history in every room, a modern claim to fame is Dr Blake was once filmed here.
Backing onto Aquinas there is rear access to the campus and hospitals beyond for any real life doctors. It is also but a short stroll to the lake, schools, cafes and shops.
