Step into a home where history and modern comfort come together in a truly rare offering. Known as “Ben View”, this iconic Wakefield homestead was built in the early 1900's by local craftsman Bill Newth using timber milled from his own Wakefield sawmill. Rich in story and substance, it remains one of the area’s enduring heritage homes.
Perfectly positioned in the heart of Wakefield, with an easy stroll to cafés, shops and school, while Richmond is just a short drive away, offering everyday convenience in a peaceful village setting.
Warm and welcoming from the moment you arrive, soaring ceilings, expansive windows and all-day sun fill the main living area with natural light and warmth. Thoughtful renovations, including new flooring and plush wool carpet, complement the character, while views to the swimming pool create an effortless indoor-outdoor connection.
The open-plan kitchen has been thoughtfully updated with a new oven and induction cooktop, while a second lounge offers a cosy retreat. A heat transfer system from the main living area enhances warmth throughout the house.
Five character-filled bedrooms, two with mezzanine floors, are paired with beautifully preserved original features, including stained glass and multiple fireplaces. The master includes an ensuite and the refreshed family bathroom features elegant porcelain sinks. Large private grounds and a standalone double garage complete the package.
Ben View is a rare blend of warmth, sunshine, character and modern comfort — ready for its next chapter.
