This absolutely stunning circa 1890’’s home sits on well over an acre of beautiful grounds, enjoys water views over Port Cygnet and Burtons Reserve and is just a short stroll from all of Cygnets shops, cafes and galleries.
This historic residence is rumoured to have originally been the harbour masters house, where they could survey the waterways from the spacious covered deck. This is now of course used for entertaining and is the perfect spot to watch the sun rise given the easterly aspect.
Striking lead light surrounds the entranceway and perfectly compliments all the other, original features throughout. There are deep hardwood skirting boards that runs alongside the Oak flooring and rolled glass still sits within large, timber sash windows. The history in this home has been cherished and celebrated and small features, such as the wallpaper remnants still holding onto the brick chimney, is a perfect example of just that.
All the practical elements are here also, and have been sympathetically renovated to ensure a perfect fusion between aesthetic consistency and modern convenience. The country kitchen, with its fireclay sink and timber benchtops overlooks the rear gardens as well the light filled dining. There is also a very generously proportioned lounge area, that leads into the North facing sunroom.
There are 3 bedrooms offered, each with their own charms, and a new, very spacious bathroom.
The grounds here are truly remarkable – spanning across more than 4300 square meters and landscaped in a way that honors the property’s history. Level lawns now sprawl where the tennis court once was and has hosted many rounds of croquet and friendly soccer matches. Stone work surrounds a natural spring that fills the properties pond, and there are meandering paths that lead you through this botanical bliss.
There is a studio space and lockable storage as well as timber sheds and a room for the chickens. There are veggie beds and a fantastic array of orchard trees, including an impressive mulberry that fruits each season.
This well loved property, which is almost 140 years old, still stands as proudly as the day it was constructed. Phone or email to arrange an inspection.
