This substantial sandstone villa with return verandah and feature wrought iron was built when craftsmen took their time to achieve something out of the ordinary, this circa 1890 home comprises 5 large bedrooms (or 4 bedrooms and a charming formal lounge), a large formal dining room with white marble fireplace and a very functional and in character kitchen with granite bench tops and also a spacious family room.
”Add to this the manicured gardens and surrounds and you have all the ingredients for a very happy family home”, says Craig Bowyer, of Woolmore Walsh Real Estate. Originally built for the Chief Engineer of Penfolds Winery. This home features a classic sparrow/hen pecked sandstone facade that had been re- pointed back to the original look.

The 2 metre wide entry hall features an exquisite turn of the century arch and polished Baltic Pine original floorboards. The main bathroom has granite-top surfaces, bath with modern spa and large shower alcove.
