WHEN LOVE FINDS A HERITAGE HOME
Built in 1868 by Thomas Sinclair of Edinburgh, this homestead has been tastefully renovated and brought into the 21st Century, whilst remaining sympathetic to its history. Sited on a delightful 2.5 acres and less than 3kms from Beechworth’s award-winning restaurants and boutique shops, this home offers the perfect combination of lifestyle and town living.
On approach to the property you will be charmed by the granite dry-stone fence, enclosing the lovely formal front garden welcoming you into the home.
Once inside you will find an open light filled kitchen, dining and living space, with impressive black butt flooring, overlooking the delightful garden, dam and property surrounds.
The modern chef’s kitchen will not disappoint, and is complete with the latest Siemens appliances, quality craftsman cabinetry and a large walk in pantry. An oversized breakfast bar provides ample preparation space and separates the kitchen from the dining and living zones.
Temperature control is taken care of with double glazed custom built windows and doors, and complete with underfloor, wall and ceiling insulation. An inbuilt wood heater is featured in the living and dining area together with a reverse cycle split system.
Leading off the kitchen you enter the original homestead, where you will find an intimate formal lounge with its own inbuilt wood heater. Down the hallway, with original restored Baltic pine floors, there are three large bedrooms all with individual reverse cycle split systems and the master bedroom housing floor to ceiling built in robes.
The bathroom is spacious and beautifully renovated with a freestanding bath, separate shower, toilet and large contemporary vanity. The third bedroom and/or home office enjoys lovely French doors opening out onto the veranda.
The second bathroom, with shower and toilet, cleverly hosts a European laundry and some well planned cabinetry.
Stepping outside you will find the land well cared for and fully fenced. The land could lend itself to a variety of uses, but presently has a number of established native and exotic trees providing refuge for an array of birdlife and local koalas.
A small dam provides a lovely backdrop, but rest assured water supply will not be an issue, as this property is connected to town supply. A large 3 bay garage with mezzanine provides ample storage with enough room for two cars and the boat or caravan.
This home has been reroofed, rewired and restumped, the verandas and decking around the entire home have been replaced and the English bond brickwork has been meticulously restored. There is not a thing to do but move your furniture in and enjoy the wonderful lifestyle this property has to offer.
