79 Grails Road, Rutherglen, Vic 3685

Positioned on 4.8 acres, and situated within minutes to the Rutherglen Town Centre, 79 Grails Road delivers a lifestyle offering, filled with rustic character and charm, all in arms reach of any requirements.

'Grails Cottage' was originally constructed in late 1800s and was owned by the 'Grails' family. Positioned on a flat parcel of land with a northerly aspect, the homestead comprises rural country character enhanced through renovation to render a lifestyle that fuses charm with convenience. 

In 2019, a large scale restore and renovation project was undertaken to deliver the home as it stands today. Completely rewired and reposted throughout, original timber from the residence was repurposed to create the bathroom vanities, barn doors, and kitchen island table. The residence was fully insulated using the highest quality insulation and sisalation. All new flooring and 100% Australian woollen carpets were also installed. A brand-new septic system was also added to the property, ensuring long-term functionality.

 A flowing floor plan plays host to a central living space adorned with bold high ceilings and classic cornicing. An open fire adds ambience, whilst French windows overlook the courtyard and beyond. 

 The kitchen delivers functional modern appeal with 900mm gas cooking and tasteful cabinetry. Sliding doors lead to the eastern courtyard provide convenience.
 A second sitting area creates a haven for a home library, tv room or games space. A combustion fireplace delivers ambience. 

Accommodation comprises four segregated bedrooms of goliath proportions. The master suite is positioned at the rear of the home with outstanding views across the rear paddocks and beyond. The immaculate ensuite is adorned with double vanity and walk in shower. 

A central feature, the family bathroom has been meticulously renovated to offer a gorgeous copper Catchpole & Rye bathtub that was imported from Kent in England - and yes, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex had the same bathtub installed in Frogmore cottage when they were living there.

Traditional flare is exuded with a wraparound verandah, refurbished with recycled corrugated iron from the original roof which was imported from the UK by ship in the late 1800s before Australia had the manufacturing capabilities. The 'winged stag' logo appears through the iron sheets, which has historical significance as it was one of two manufacturers that operated in England at the time. 

Adorned with modern convenience of high-level insulation and ducted cooling, the home also comprises three functional fireplaces. Three paddocks supply space for horses and livestock, allowing for a true lifestyle experience. 

Less than two kilometres to the Rutherglen town centre, this is a unique and rare opportunity to combine space and privacy with convenience to the main street shopping and dining. A premiere opportunity in the heart of one of Australia's most famous wine regions.
