Timeless Character with an Incredible Lifestyle
set on a picturesque lifestyle block, this exceptional home offers a rare combination of character, privacy and versatility, all within easy reach of town.
at the heart of the property sits a truly special residence, originally built in 1926. homes of this era and quality are increasingly rare, and this one has been carefully maintained and tastefully updated to combine classic character with modern comfort. beautiful native timber floors, high ceilings, and timeless architectural details reflect the craftsmanship of the period, while the thoughtful layout creates a natural flow between living spaces ideal for family life and entertaining.
the designer kitchen forms the centre of the home, connecting seamlessly with the open-plan dining and living areas. throughout the home, the blend of character and contemporary updates creates a warm, inviting atmosphere while preserving the charm of its original design.
surrounding the home are beautifully landscaped grounds, where mature trees, established gardens and open lawns create a peaceful and private setting. a glasshouse provides the perfect space for gardening enthusiasts, while tucked quietly beside the home sits an historic wartime bunker, adding a fascinating piece of history to the property.
beyond the main residence, the property offers excellent flexibility with a separate tiny home featuring a kitchenette, shower and open-plan living, ideal for extended family, guests, or additional accommodation. a large workshop and additional outbuildings provide generous space for storage, equipment, hobbies or home business use.
despite its tranquil rural setting, the location is exceptionally convenient. albany mall, incredible schooling and motorway access are all within easy reach, while the stunning long bay beach, village and regional park are only a short drive away.
properties offering this level of land, character, history and proximity are seldom available, presenting a truly special opportunity to secure a unique lifestyle estate.
