This exquisite 1916 Federation cottage is a testament to timeless elegance and craftsmanship and steeped in history and affection-Vacarlia. This beautiful home set on 486sqm, first offered for sale in 25 years, has witnessed a century of stories and family milestones since its creation.

The year was 1916 when Mr. Jack Dawson and his beloved wife, Mrs. Lillian Dawson, set out to build their dream home. With their hearts full of hope and hands skilled in craft, they designed a house that would be both a sanctuary and a testament to their love for one another. The name "Vacarlia" was a heartfelt tribute to their family, combining the names of their cherished children-Valerie and Carl-and of course, Lillian herself. This unique blend of names symbolised the unity and bond of their family.

The residence features a slate-tiled roof and intricate plasterwork in the main bedroom, entry foyer, and lounge room, adorned with delightful motifs of waratahs and flannel flowers. The remaining rooms showcase cedar ceilings and beautifully appointed windows with coloured glass, while the Baltic pine floorboards add a touch of grandeur with their generous width.

The home comprises three serene bedrooms. The two front bedrooms are enhanced by luxurious Axminster carpets that seamlessly complement the period aesthetics, lending a rich and regal atmosphere. The tessellated tiles adorning the veranda are nothing short of enchanting, and the casement windows have been thoughtfully designed to embrace and channel the gentle summer breezes that flow through the house.

The expansive north-facing backyard features an abundance of food producing trees including citrus and avocados and many varieties of  evergreen magnolias, camellias and other decorative changes through the year.

The original garage has been thoughtfully repurposed into a fully lined and tiled office or studio, offering a serene retreat or functional workspace. Off-street parking further adds to the convenience and appeal of this distinguished home.

Vacarlia stands proudly, a beacon of history and warmth, ready to welcome its new owners into its embrace.
