38 BAROMI ROAD, Mirboo North, Vic 3871

If there was ever a category for the best-looking homestead in the street, then arguably this original home would be a big contender to win. 

Locally admired, this home is a living treasure and visual testimony to our proud Australian architectural heritage. The message this home sends out from its predominant level corner position is “look at me, look at me” and with its bull nose front and side verandas, turned timber posts, and double hung windows the originality and signature look remain.  However, the same can’t be said for the interior for this is where old meets new and the 2 worlds collide. 

The owner’s redevelopment of the interior receives a healthy nod to open plan and modern day living with tasteful modern additions that don’t distract away from the home’s historical intimate feel.  From the entry through the hallway to the living areas, those beautifully polished and very original Baltic pine floors speak volumes about the home’s history. There is decorative interest in the those sweeping high timber lined ceilings that offer a vast sense of space.

 Dressed to impress the white kitchen along with its sleek cabinetry and timber tops are a true-blue reflection of the original Aussie country style kitchen. It's that much more modern with the added convenience of an in-wall oven, gas cook top, dishwasher, range hood and subway tiles for the splash back. Overhead cabinetry with glass colonial doors adds a little more flare to the air. The home can be heated using the free-standing wood heater or reverse cycle.

 All 3 bedrooms are large and have those identifiable high ceilings with carpet in each, including a built-in wardrobe for the master suite. The theme of matching new with old continues with the bathroom. The owners sourced an original cast iron claw foot bath, then added a large stepless shower. Subway wall tiles, floor tiles and repurposed an antique cabinet for a vanity with a square bowl basin. 

There is no doubting the restoration efforts because nothing has been overlooked in the transformation and restoration of this classic home. Big, ticketed items include restumping, rewiring, up graded fuse board, completely re stumped with wall and ceiling insulation installed along the way..
Undercover parking from the single bay carport with attached workshop. 

This is one that you will love coming home to, time after time.
