Bridge House
Every now and then a property hits the market with an ability to literally take your breath away.
The heritage home available for purchase at 3 William Street, Boyanup is one of those properties.
Bridge House is a vision too beautiful to adequately describe here and really has to be seen to be believed.
Nestled on more than an acre of property, the 1940s homestead has been lovingly and gently coaxed back to even better than its former glory over the past 10 years by the skilled and guiding hand of a fine artist.
Only someone who earns their living with a paintbrush and canvas would approach a restoration with such precision and such attention to detail.
The result is not just a home but a work of art. The sense of nostalgia and old world charm is almost overwhelming as every aspect of the propertys improvement has been completed with a deep understanding of its original and unique character.
A visit to 3 William Street really does feel like you have stepped back in time.
Major renovation projects have included: A new roof; new exterior jarrah weatherboard cladding; new ceilings; re-plastering and fresh paint; sanding and sealing of all jarrah floorboards throughout and much more.
Among its most captivating features inside is an open fireplace with stunning jarrah surround, vintage French doors providing access from several rooms to the three metre concrete verandas, cast iron ceiling roses crafted in Scotland and restored oregan doors throughout with Victorian locks and brass fittings.
Equally eye-catching is the country kitchen which was completely gutted and restored in oregan, jarrah and pine. So true to the homes original design, its hard to believe the kitchen is a completely new addition.
Modern features include a gas cooktop, electric oven and new plumbing.
Entry to the property is via a long formal driveway which passes by extensive terraced gardens of mature trees (including fruit baring varieties) creating a shady, cool and private oasis that exists on many different levels.
Pretty as a picture are the feature rock walls and Wisteria covered bridge over the Goolalong creek which flows through the property for six to seven months of the year, cubby house and vintage style fencing.
The home itself is painted white with matching outhouses including a laundry with restored old-fashioned concrete trough and Metters stove, outdoor toilet, workshop and double garage.
Inside are three bedrooms, including master with semi en suite, formal lounge, bathroom with stunning green slate floor and wall tiles and two toilets.
The third bedroom or art studio features wall to floor windows, separate access to outside and a wall-mounted air-conditioner.
Wide verandas, soaring ceilings and a raked roofline ensure the rest of the home is comfortably cool all year round.
Also included in the property is a huge below-ground concrete swimming pool set in a spacious, private entertaining area. It too has been completely re-done, along with the addition of a cute pool shed in keeping with the rest of the homes design.
Bridge Houses stunning location offers a rural lifestyle within easy striking distance of Boyanup town, Bunbury, Busselton and Margaret River.
