JUNE and GERRY'S VICTORIAN HOME!

Some 20 years ago June and Gerry visualised building their dream home in this highly held part of Mirboo North known as the “Golf Links Estate” But theirs was to be no ordinary “box like” build. Instead, they opted for an authentic traditional looking home one with an ornate appearance that pays tribute to the architectural “Victorian” era that has so infectiously dominated and influenced our Australian cultural street scape.<br/><br/> The time-honoured design mirrors that classic exterior with a modern-day twist that incorporates a highly functional interior. From the large near level corner allotment this home sits proudly positioned signalling to passer-by’s that our colonial constructed past has not been forgotten but rather is very much alive and well. <br/>Sealed and paved walkways make for easy and level entry right to the front door, they also make for safe passage around the home’s exterior regardless of the weather. Instantly appealing with that unmistakable “Victorian Heritage” look the lighter colored bricks that embellish and surround the double hung timber windows including the entry doors and at each corner of the build are hallmarks and testimony to the home’s authenticity. <br/><br/>As you open the combination lead light front door the pastel patterned floor tiles are revealed and align with the molded timber skirting and architraves providing definition and give reason to the lime washed dado walls. With its soft natural wall color throughout there is decretive interest in every room and at every turn. <br/><br/>There subtle finishes like the brass light switches, ceiling roses and ornate cornice. The main bathroom and ensuite are two beautifully finished rooms that certainly want to disappoint you. <br/><br/>Brining at all together is the large family friendly open plan living area. The kitchen and island bench are solid Mahogany with Laminex benchtops. Walk in pantry, dishwasher, rangehood, 5 burner gas cook tops with under bench electric oven. Double doors entice you onto the all-weather deck area creating that all important indoor outdoor connection. The lounge, dining area will entertain family and friends with ease. It too has its own set of double doors that allow you easy access onto the side veranda and paved areas.<br/><br/> The inbuilt cast iron wood heater with timber surround is the main source of heating. Generated heat is distributed throughout the home via a ducted heat transfer system. Sleeping arrangements provides for 3 exceptionally large bedrooms all with built-in robes and all have carpet. <br/>The laundry is also larger than the average home. <br/><br/>A stand alone 2 bay garage with remote operated door and a small out building that would make an ideal office, workshop or craft room complete with power and concrete floor. The property has 2 rain water tanks and directly opposite is the prestigious Mirboo North Golf Club. <br/><br/>This is a beautiful looking home in a highly held area. <br/><br/>Mirboo North is located approx. 155 km’s southeast of Melbourne and can be found in the Strzelecki Ranges of South Gippsland. We have excellent schools, splendid cafés and eateries. 7 day a week public transport to and from the Latrobe Valley.
