Your guide to Warragul, Drouin, Baw Baw Shire and West Gippsland Real Estate
One of the district’s
ICONIC PROPERTIES
One of the district’s iconic properties comes to the market providing an outstanding real estate opportunity!
This private and stately five bedroom home and land captures some of the best views in the district - south across the town to the Strzelecki Ranges and north to an imposing vista across to the Baw Baw Ranges. Indeed, it is hard to believe this property has prevailed, with its 1.178 hectares (subdivision potential STCA is enormous) and its in-town location, privately accessed from Stoddarts Road in Warragul North! Park-like grounds with a huge variety of mature trees and sweeping lawns surround the home which sits at the end of a private driveway, a flood lit, fully fenced tennis court and the generous family residence are just some of the highlights that are part of this enigmatic property. Exceptionally well proportioned and designed to take advantage of this rare site, the rambling double storey clinker brick home is approximately 43.5 squares in size and merges several spacious living zones with the five bedrooms and generous utility areas. Various refurbishments have seen the inclusion of some unique features including a lift to the second floor, a 3,000 book library, a gas log fire in the original fireplace of the formal lounge and contemporary upgrades in the kitchen adding granite benches, modern appliances and an open plan to the meals area. Most of the living areas and four large bedrooms are downstairs, with the main bedroom suite and library occupying upstairs.
A south facing balcony from the main bedroom is stunning, and the room easily allows for a sitting or office area plus the adjoining robes, storage and ensuite area all generous in both size and stature.
Cedar lines the library/office which has custom cabinetry and striking windows to the north. Timber stairs (in addition to the lift) return to the extensive living areas below which include a huge formal lounge, separate formal dining room, kitchen and meals area and enormous family room, part of which is conservatory-like, and which opens directly to the north patio. Each living space connects to the next, creating the most wonderful family environment. The bedroom wing finds four large, well-appointed rooms, one of which is semi-ensuite to the main bathroom, and each has beautiful views across the garden or to the hills. A quirky vestibule off the hall looks back to the family room from windows and at the end of the hall is the laundry. Stunning flooring throughout varies from natural timber, parquetry, stone to tile and high quality fittings and fixtures are common in every room. Under roofline is an extra-long double garage and further shedding on the property includes a clinker brick shed with single garage and a separate large workshop. The outstanding views, the delightful park-like setting, the wonderful family residence, close proximity to town, the land size of 1.178 hectares (2.91 acres) with subdivision potential (STCA) – this property is genuinely unique!
