Step into a world of timeless charm and character with our remarkable Wakefield homestead. Nestled in the heart of this picturesque town and just a short stroll from shops, cafes, and the local school, this home is an ode to history and modern comfort.
Named "Ben View" and built around 1910 by Bill Newth with local timber from his sawmill in Wakefield. In 1996 the large living space and the mezzanine floors were added. So much history with this gem and only a short 10-minute drive to Richmond.
Walk into the huge kitchen that you'll love to cook in with the space on offer while still being sociable with the family. The spacious open plan living with high ceilings and expansive windows let in an abundance of sun and light with doors leading out to the garden. A separate lounge with an open fireplace adds an extra touch of character, while the wood burner in the living area with a heat transfer keeps you nice and warm in winter.
Five bedrooms all with their own special character, from original fireplaces to mezzanine floors and stunning stained glass windows. The master bedroom has an ensuite and a versatile second mezzanine floor, perfect for your office or a kids games room. The family bathroom just down the hall includes a shower and bath, with a separate toilet.
The established garden offers privacy and space, while a sparkling swimming pool invites you to cool off on sunny summer days. Double garaging tops off this stunner with so much more still to see. You must see what else this home offers, it won't disappoint! This isn't just a house; it's a piece of living history with stories to tell.
