Sold 05/11/2016 $895,000
With town water connected and being close to the township, this light-filled, north-facing, 4/5 bedroom brick veneer home is a charming example of siting a home to take advantage of nature’s seasons.
From the broad entrance hall with its spotted gum flooring, the home flows one way towards the generously-proportioned main bedroom with its WIR and well-appointed ensuite as well towards the adjacent large study with its built-in bookshelves and contemplative garden views.
A bright and comfortable lounge room with welcoming open fire place and pure wool carpets leads into the marvellous kitchen/meals area with its ample benches, Lacanche French stove/oven, pantry, spotted gum flooring plus tranquil garden views both to the north and south through the extensive window system. An adjoining al fresco area is a further appealing adjunct along with the extensive stone paving surrounding the house which provides a range of outdoor entertaining choices.
Logically positioned are 3 further bedrooms with their own separate bathroom, separate toilet and laundry. The bedrooms are bright and sunny and fully reflect the architect’s brief.
Underfloor slab heating (6 zones), reverse cycle air conditioner, solar panels (4 kw), plus solar hot water with gas booster provide a clear indication of the vendors’ attention to detail.
Outside features include a dam, 3 water tanks, double brick carport, work shed, hardwood post and rail fencing surrounding the house, a magnificent veggie patch with 300 garlic plants, some established fruit trees and 3 phase power to the switchboard. 600 newly-established pinot noir grapes with posts and training wires are included with the property. There is potential to easily re-establish a 3 paddock horse property if required.
School buses to Gisborne Secondary College and Holy Cross stop outside the property. It is a quick commute to Melbourne by car or by train.
Quiet, classy and appealing, the property will reward inspections from fastidious buyers.
