As you drive up to the 1910’s log style home you know you have come upon something rather special. Surrounded by 2.6 ha of rural vista with a mix of rolling and slightly steep contour offers gorgeous views. As we enter to the idyllic homestead we are greeted with an open plan kitchen and lovely original tongue and groove wood paneling. A moving island boasts a stunning wood top counter which gives you the freedom to move it anywhere you wish. A fabulous flow through to the dining area that still has the original old coal range cavity that makes a statement or gives the option of installing another one.
The living area is a generous size with nice large windows. A freestanding fireplace within the original cavity and stunning mantle piece. Tucked to the side is the office which offers a fabulous working space. This home has four bedrooms that are very traditionally large in size with wooden polished floors. The master bedroom has its own open fireplace cavity with mantle, and really speaks of the era in which this family home was built. Two bathrooms, one at each end of the house, and one of them even offers a spa bath! Separate laundry as well.
The front porch is covered and is a very serene place to sit and enjoy the sunshine. Located just 5 mins out of town you can get the best of both words, convenience mixed with country living. A pond, a half round barn and large shed along with other little miscellaneous outbuildings dotted around.
