"MAGNOLIA HOUSE"

Perfectly positioned on a private, expansive acre of beautifully landscaped gardens, Magnolia House stands as a splendid Edwardian villa, an epitome of timeless sophistication that pays homage to the early 1900s. This grand estate was built circa 1908, showcasing classic elegance at its finest.

This home is brimming with traditional period features including high ceilings, decorative cornices, ceiling roses, stained glass windows and doors, light fittings, and wallpaper throughout. There are three reception rooms: a formal lounge, dining and sitting room, and a separate informal family space. Each of these rooms are light filled with various views of the gardens filtering through. Four gorgeous queen-sized bedrooms present a sense of graciousness with three of these bedrooms having their own private ensuite and two having tile lined cast iron fireplaces.

The kitchen has been tastefully modernised to provide generous countertop space, copious storage and a fabulous 110cm dual fuel ‘Falcon Toledo’ oven, all whilst keeping with the original period style. The home is kept ambient year-round with five reverse cycle split systems, panel heaters in all bathrooms, and a large ‘Coonara’ style wood heater.

Great care was taken to restore this grand lady to her full glory. This comprehensive restoration included new concrete stumps, upgraded plumbing, a complete rewiring of the electrical systems, and a new roof.

A detached cottage offers a spacious living area, two bedrooms, and a well-appointed ensuite bathroom. This versatile space can serve a variety of purposes, whether as a studio, a comfortable retreat for teenagers, or as a guesthouse.

Outside, the property is adorned by an expansive and well-established garden, covering over one acre. This outdoor haven is a rich blend of lush lawns, flourishing shrubs, and magnificent magnolia trees, truly living up to its namesake! This private oasis is complemented by water features, whimsical arbors, shaded seating areas to immerse in, and a delightful undercover alfresco entertaining space.

Further enhancing the property are practical amenities, including a carport with firewood storage, a dedicated garden and potting shed, and an undercover 9 x 3.6m workshop and storage area with a concrete floor, and 3-phase electricity. The gardens are well looked after with interconnected rainwater tanks, boasting a storage capacity of 16,500 litres, complete with a pump and comprehensive timer-operated water systems.

With a history as a successful four-and-a-half-star luxury B&B, Magnolia House is an opportunity to own not only a magnificent piece of history but also a home that offers a timeless blend of classic charm and modern convenience that is positioned close to the Warburton township, local primary school, the Yarra River and a vibrant community ready to envelop you.
