Enchanting surrounds and a striking sandstone facade make it love at first glance. Delve deeper and you'll uncover a story worth telling on a prized corner 1126sqm (approx.) block in beautiful Balhannah.
Welcome to 'Sunningdale'; the original orchard house and prized piece of history, preserved like a sweet jam and upgraded for a fruitful future.
Hidden behind a towering conifer hedge to conjure what feels like complete privacy is a 3-bedroom home that hosted the local fruit pickers in the 1920s and 30s - their haven after long days in the field.
Today, its repointed facade, re-polished Baltic pine and Jarrah floors, colourful leadlight, lofty decorative ceilings, and big rooms make it the textbook character home, just 30-minutes from the CBD.
Look closer at the decorative cornices; mouldings of fruit and flowers give a nostalgic wink to its humble beginnings.
Textbook character. Yet like nothing else.
Meanwhile, a 900mm freestanding oven, granite benchtops, wood-fired pizza oven, LED lighting and upgraded bathrooms - including one with a window to the clouds - top a long list of upgrades.
Future. Proofed.
With a mix of formal and casual spaces - including a formal lounge with regal timber panelling, large office/4th bedroom and an open-plan kitchen - the floorplan is timeless, too.
Only a subtle divide separates that head-turning kitchen (with walk-in pantry, no less) from an expansive dining room - the gateway to an extensively refurbished retreat.
With its own bathroom and external access, is the retreat home to your snooker table or your independence-craving teen?
Take your pick.
