Escape from the City to nearly an acre (3618m2) of land with its roots deep in the history of Roleystone. After returning from the Second World War, Harold Brown bought 60 acres extending from Gilmour Rd to Eatts Road and lived in an old weatherboard house while his dream residence was being built. Because of the shortage of materials available as a result of the war, and the process of each brick being handmade on site, this strongly constructed home took 15 years to complete. Now that's history! There is nothing small about this solid, beautifully presented and maintained 4x2 home with large rooms, wide passages, high ceilings, jarrah floors, big picture windows, decorative cornices and extensive verandahs. Visitors marvel at the stunning kitchen with its ample bench space, heaps of cupboards, pantry, gas top and rangehood, and the huge main bathroom with large marble top vanities, full-length mirror, quality tiles, bath and separate shower. In the centre of the residence is a built-in wood fire which creates the heart of the home providing substantial heat to the lounge room and kitchen. 2 reverse/cycle air conditioning units, 2 heating wall units and ceiling fans allow you to adjust room temperature to your liking. The 18-panel 6.6kW solar array is a bonus. The formal dining room, adjacent to the kitchen, provides enough space to accommodate a decent sized dinner party and opens onto the back verandah which offers much additional space for family and friends to gather. The wide verandah, running the length of the house, is a fantastic outdoor entertainment area and is sure to be the place chosen by the extended family for Christmas Dinner. An old 65m2 cottage lies at the bottom of the garden waiting to be returned to its former glory. The power and plumbing were decommissioned long ago, and the roof and ceiling are beyond repair, but its history and potential remain. Give yourself and the children in your life space where you can be unrestrained by the closeness of neighbours and a house that was built to last. Please call Maggie Burke on 0419939110 to view.
