Built in the 1880s "The Gables" is nestled in expansive, beautiful gardens offering a lifestyle that captures the charm and elegance of the Bygone era.

The Gables is brimming with period features, including intricate ceiling roses, wrap-around timber picture rails, colourful leadlight windows, and stunning Huon pine floorboards in all bedrooms. The original banisters and staircases are a testament to its enduring craftsmanship and history.

On the entry level, you'll find the master bedroom with a beautifully renovated ensuite, and a cosy formal lounge with a charming bay window. This space flows seamlessly into the kitchen through sliding leadlight doors. The solid timber kitchen features a large pantry and is well-appointed and opens onto an elevated timber deck and glassed porch, perfect for year-round enjoyment of the garden views. The sunny dining nook features floor-to-ceiling windows that frame the peaceful rural landscape.

A second living area off the kitchen could easily be transformed into a formal dining room. Completing this level is another newly renovated bathroom and separate toilet.

Downstairs, the home provides excellent functionality with a laundry featuring a third toilet, external access, ample storage, and a single garage with internal access via the original staircase. A second entrance with a carport offers convenient undercover access to the home via a mudroom which also features additional storage.

Being at The Gables feels like you are a million miles away from city life, but you are in fact only a five minute drive from the CBD. It's also only a 400m walk to the beautiful Don Reserve walking tracks.
