Nairne visitors are spoilt for choice - three cafes, a picturesque main street and Howard Vineyard´s stone-barn cellar door. A 30 minute drive to the tollgate, this historic township grows more cosmopolitan by the day!
As you drift towards Woodside (as well you might) you´ll find this gorgeous old homestead nestled on the outskirts. Prepare to be smitten by a riot of wisteria in Spring, the satisfying crunch of gravel beneath your tyres and over half acre of English country gardens that confer exceptional privacy upon this former dairy, renovated and extended to spark joy in the modern family.
It´s a feeling that only gets better as you leave the shady verandas and head inside. Lovely views across the gardens, soaring pressed metal ceilings, and so much space you weren´t expecting - all with the warm afterglow of a northerly aspect.
Artisan-built in 2010, the double-brick additions follow the grand proportions of the original home, buffed by the patina of the recycled and reclaimed, and heated in winter by a wood-burning stove. The one-time basketball court of Mary Magdalen School now lends its hardwearing jarrah beauty of split-level relaxation that is also perfect for entertaining.
Encompassing a sleek contemporary ensuite and walk-in robe, your master retreat is further proof that bigger is better, particularly when blessed with ample separation from children and guests. Their craving for independence is well met by two further doubles, (one with walk-in-robe), a study and a second sitting room contained within the original 1910 footprint, along with a kitchen that draws on local traditions and modern trends to deliver the culinary fulfillment that is at the heart of every good Hills home.
Beyond deep verandas ideally suited to outdoor entertaining, an epic shed complex with workshop, storage loft, 3-phase power, 6 car parks and an office welcomes your car collection or the tools of your trade. It could even help you kick-start a new work-from home venture. There is also a potential detached studio with its own carport - perhaps a welcome escape for a teenager or a place for green thumbs to explore the full botanic potential of this beautiful property. If ever there was an excuse to move to the Hills, this is it!
