Property details

Listing # MTU230796 | Listed on 27 August

Built in 1910, Elmswell is a distinctive Marton home with a story woven into the history of the district.

Originally commissioned by Emily, this substantial character home sits on approximately two acres, retaining the generous proportions, craftsmanship and atmosphere of an early twentieth-century country property.

Inside, the four-bedroom home offers a wonderful balance of character and family living. The spacious master bedroom includes an ensuite and French doors opening directly to the deck and established grounds. Multiple living areas include a formal dining room and a second lounge, providing plenty of space for family life, entertaining or simply enjoying the home's generous proportions.

Period details are a defining feature. Beautiful stained-glass windows, detailed timberwork and other original character elements reflect the home's 1910 origins, while a traditional coal range and wood burner add warmth and a strong sense of connection to its past.

Outside, a circular driveway creates an attractive approach to the home, while the land is divided into three paddocks, offering space, flexibility and a genuine country-home feel.

Then there is the substantial shed — a valuable asset for those needing room for a workshop, home-based business, storage, vehicles or projects. For the car enthusiast, it provides the kind of space that is increasingly difficult to find.

More than a century after Emily commissioned its construction, Elmswell remains a home with a story to tell. With its authentic period character, generous living spaces, established grounds, two acres and impressive shedding, it offers something increasingly rare — a home with genuine history, space and versatility, right in the heart of Marton's story.
