Rich with character and warmth, this residence exudes the soul of its era. A historic triple bay villa, with a detached double garage, tucked quietly behind leafy hedges, on a generous 968sqm (more or less) of land. Located just a short stroll from tree lined river trails to stroll with the family and walk the dog and be one with nature, and yet bustling Cambridge township eateries and local cafes are on foot in each direction. A beautiful renovation by the current owners, who have raised their family here, has brought the features of a modern home - designer kitchen and laundry, tiled bathrooms, double glazing, and efficient and healthy home ventilation, into this idyllic character home.
There is something about a home like this, before you even step inside, you feel it. The sense that this house has stories, and is ready for new ones.
Inside, the 160sqm (more or less) floor plan unfolds with charm, where high ceilings soar and fill every room with light and a sense of quiet grandeur. In the family lounge, an original tiled fireplace stands as a timeless centerpiece, while sunlight streams through sash windows onto polished, dark walnut tinted timber floors, illuminating the villa’s enduring character. French doors lead to a new sun drenched Kwila deck and lawn, extending the living spaces and inviting moments of pause and connection. The fully fenced, landscaped grounds are a private sanctuary where children can play safely, and summer evenings will linger.
The home centres around a generous kitchen, gloriously open plan with dining and a family lounge. The kitchen is a statement in itself, designer in finish, yet warm and inviting. Thoughtfully crafted with built in dining, for morning coffee, evening meals and conversation. Opening windows in the kitchen connect you outside to a private patio, sun drenched and perfectly positioned for entertaining and private alfresco dining.
The master suite is a retreat with shutters enhancing the historic bay windows and the light they draw in. Bespoke cabinetry offers tailored storage, while the luxuriously tiled ensuite delivers a refined, contemporary finish. The guest accommodation offers plenty of room for families young and growing, two beautiful double bedrooms provide comfort and character, with features such as an original fireplace and a charming bay window seat - the perfect perch for a book on a quiet afternoon. And then there’s the loft. A converted upper level space that feels like a hidden escape, ideal as a fourth bedroom, play space, creative studio, or dedicated work from home office. Tucked away, yet connected.
Historically known as ‘The Ferryman’s House’, this home isn’t simply a villa. It is history wrapped with character and layered with comfort. We would love to see you at our open homes, and private viewings easily arranged, get in touch with Amanda Merrington or Natalie Kirk to register your interest!
