Showcasing exquisite period elements enhanced by quality contemporary updates, this c.1920 weatherboard farmhouse boasts a generous floorplan ideal for growing families. Featuring three separate living areas, an impressive alfresco entertaining space, and an ensuite master bedroom, the home effortlessly blends enviable character features with elegant modern comfort. Originally poised on 16 acres of orchards, ‘Tullymore’ offers a rare opportunity to reside in a character home of historical significance set in an exceptionally convenient family location.

Set within the prized Vermont Secondary College zone, the home is just a short stroll from leafy Stephens Reserve, Vermont Tennis Club, Kingsley Avenue Playground, and buses.

Framed by a charming white picket fence and manicured landscaped gardens, the home features 12ft high ceilings with ornamental cornices, classic sash windows, decorative leadlight, and restored Tasmanian oak and Baltic pine floorboards. 

An elegant formal living room features a meticulously restored open fireplace, with French doors flowing out to the side garden. At the rear, an open plan living and dining area is bathed in natural light, and features an inviting north-facing bay window with comfy seat. 

The living area flows out to a spacious private backyard with a sundrenched paved terrace, a large Infinity swim spa with sleek frameless glass fencing, low maintenance artificial lawn, and an established magnolia tree border. An expansive undercover entertaining area with outdoor heating and café blinds is superbly laid out for year-round alfresco indulgence. Perhaps Tullymore’s jewel-in-the-crown is its substantial separate rumpus room / home office – with independent entrance, it includes a convenient kitchenette. Limited only by imagination, the studio is suitable to a home business, a potential teenage retreat, a home gym, multi-generational living, or a kids’ play area.

The kitchen also offers abundant storage, an island preparation bench, a Smeg dishwasher, an Electrolux oven, a gas cooktop, and a showpiece fully-restored original cast iron woodstove, providing excellent radiant heat throughout the cooler months.

The substantial master bedroom includes classic wainscotting, a large walk-in wardrobe, and a skylit ensuite with a corner spa bathtub, a frameless glass walk-in waterfall shower, and a floating vanity. Three large additional bedrooms each with built-in wardrobes are complemented by a sun-soaked private office at the rear.

The pristine central bathroom features a freestanding clawfoot bathtub, stunning leadlight windows, tessellated floor tiles, and a marble vanity. An airy renovated laundry includes a deep farmhouse sink, with the convenience of a separated private guest toilet.

Featuring gas ducted heating and split system air conditioning, ‘Tullymore’ has been fully re-stumped, re-wired, re-roofed and re-plumbed. A heritage paved driveway leads to a dual carport with ample off-street parking, all behind secure remote gated access.
