Well, they certainly don’t make them like this anymore. After admiring the classic lines of this historic home built around 1904, you feel virtually compelled to sit and stop a while on the front verandah and absorb the absolutely magnificent view of the Great Dividing Range to the north.

You enter this home to a classic central hall complete with ornate timber arch with timber frogs and beautiful wide board timber floors that have welcomed many a visitor over more than 100 years. To your left is a large (3.7 x 3.7m) bedroom with French doors to the north and to the east. To your right is an identical room with French doors to the north and the west and beyond this is the third bedroom with French doors to the west.

The living room is spacious (approx. 8 x 4m) with two sets of French doors to the east and a slow combustion log burner set professionally into an ornate timber mantle piece with a history of its own. The light fittings in this home are beautiful, particularly in the living room where we find a fully restored brass and blue Venetian glass fitting that started its life as a gas light. The reverse cycle air conditioner in the living room means you can always enjoy your own perfect climate but it rarely gets used since the fully insulated, high ceilings provide a very comfortable environment all year round.

The kitchen was renovated a few years ago and offers reasonable bench space with lovely timber tops, reasonable cupboard and drawer space including a small pantry and a converted slow combustion stove space, a dishwasher, a double sink, a gas stove and cook top, and French doors to a small back verandah leading to the private and paved courtyard.

The bathroom also enjoyed a renovation some years ago and offers a nice big separate shower with adjustable height shower rose, removable to hand held. There’s a lovely big deep bath with taps to the side that won’t poke you in the back, a nice big hand basin and a dual flush toilet. The laundry is off the back verandah with plenty of space, built in shelves and a classic, concrete, double laundry tub.
