2889 m2Step back in time and experience one of Greytown's most storied treasures, a historic home built in 1895 that stands as a testament to the town's rich past. This home has only passed through six custodians over its more than a century-long history. Each owner has carefully preserved its character, ensuring the legacy of this significant property endures.
Upon entering, you are greeted by the timeless elegance of polished native wooden floors and soaring high ceilings, enhanced by intricate architraves that speak to the craftsmanship of the late 19th century. This generous 4-bedroom home is bathed in natural light from the large sash windows, a feature typical of heritage homes of this era. While the home is steeped in history, it has been thoughtfully updated with modern amenities, including a new bathroom that seamlessly blends convenience with the home's period charm.
The heart of the home is its expansive living area, where French doors open onto a garden sanctuary filled with mature trees and meticulously planned gardens. The outdoor space invites you to relax, entertain, or explore the gardens, which once provided sustenance to early settlers.
Inside, the formal sitting room, complete with a charming bay window, offers a quiet place to reflect and relax. The modernised kitchen has been sympathetically renovated, retaining its charm with the original coal range proudly displayed as a decorative centrepiece. Adjacent, the dining area is perfect for gathering with family or hosting intimate meals, continuing the tradition of hospitality that has been part of this home for generations.
Modern comforts have not been overlooked. The home is equipped with 12 solar panels, offering sustainable energy, and is heated by a large wood burner, ensuring warmth through the winter months. There is also a heat recovery system plus ceiling and underfloor insulation. The large laundry also includes a second bathroom, adding further convenience.
Set across two fully serviced titles 15 Udy (1573 sq m) and 15A (1316 sq m) this will allow the new owner the opportunity to build on the second title should they wish to do so. The property also has the added bonus of a bore to feed the lush gardens.
This is not just a home; it is a rare piece of Greytown's history, masterfully blending the beauty of its heritage with the comforts of modern living, making it an unparalleled offering in the heart of this historic town.
