6 Bucknall Street, Carisbrook, Vic 3464

Formerly Downs Butchers shop and residence, set on a leafy half acre garden in the village of Carisbrook and backing onto Deep Creek, this solid brick home rich in character and history comprises 7 main rooms, a vaulted cellar, balcony with garden views and has been enhanced by its current owners to capture the essence of days gone by.
Set behind a wash of Mediterranean pink walls, the property features the old shop room with large picture windows, slated paved floors, a fire place and access to the vaulted brick cellar. There is a kitchen with modern gas cooking and meals area, bathroom with claw foot bath, and 2 toilets. Further rooms include 3 bedrooms, one with a French door balcony, another with an adjoining snuggery/sitting room. There are open fire places and electric heating too. On the north garden side of the home is a balcony/outdoor area, many shade trees, a small paddock and access to a side street providing walks down to the Creek.
Great as a home or weekender/investment, Villa Reanda was featured in July 2012 by Country Style Magazine and a recent episode (27) of Postcards.
