DUAL & EXCLUSIVE: For 25 years, this house has been more than just a home for its current owner - it has been a keeper of memories.
Originally a humble farmer’s cottage built in 1892, the house has evolved into a spacious and character-filled haven. With two wings extending from the heart of the home, it naturally lends itself to versatility - whether for a growing family, a work-from-home sanctuary, or a welcoming space for guests.
The central living area, warmed by a combustion stove in winter, is a place of gathering, where meals and conversation are shared. A large wooden counter separates this area from the kitchen, making it the perfect blend of open-plan living and cosy intimacy.
Beyond the living space, a wide reed-ceilinged veranda stretches out, offering cool shade for lazy afternoons and a refuge against the elements in colder months. A grand forest mahogany stands sentinel just beyond, its deep shade an invitation to linger. The garden itself is a reflection of thoughtful sustainability, with hardy, water-wise plants that thrive in the climate. A sparkling swimming pool reflects the ever-changing sky, promising refreshment on warm days.
With off-street parking for two vehicles, a solar geyser, and a well-considered water system - including a water tank and a pool backwash tank - this home balances historic charm with modern practicality. Mosaic details add a touch of artistic whimsy to the garden, while the attic, storeroom and security features provide both space and peace of mind.
Standing at the threshold of this home, you don’t just step into a property - you step into a story, waiting for its next chapter to be written.
