“What makes this home unique is its 133-year old history in the foothills of Mt Gibraltar,” Cameron McKillop told WILLIAMS MEDIA.  

“The current owners have done a magnificent job in honouring the home by adding modern touches but keeping some traditional elements like the original Baltic pine floors, deep skirtings and picture rails.”

Occupying an approximately 1.9 acres, the property’s tranquil gardens meander down through stone walls and a natural watercourse to a spring fed dam.

“The grounds are also beautifully kept and deliver a sense of peace and serenity with the spring-fed dam providing a stunning backdrop,” Cameron explained to WILLIAMS MEDIA.

Entry to the property is via an electric front gate and leads around to the double garage, where an adjacent powered work shed with wood stove could be used as a studio or office.

Inside, welcoming interiors feature a soothing palette and traditional elements such as original Baltic pine floors, soaring ceilings, deep skirtings and picture rails. 

The floorplan spans two levels, opening with a formal lounge that opens onto the verandah. There’s a separate formal dining room and casual family and meals area with adjoining kitchen that features a farmhouse sink, Falcon gas cooker, a timber bench and cabinet from the 1930s butler's pantry and a light-filled northern aspect.
