Description

Historical 'Holcomb' and its Secret Garden

Under the shelter of majestic mango trees, this charming Palmwoods residence is brimming with character and warmth. Nestled appealingly on a third of an acre, 'Holcomb' was reputedly the home of Palmwood's first postmaster a century ago and the original cottage has been sympathetically extended over the years.

The magical gardens are overlooked by numerous decks and patios, and are an utter delight to explore, with winding stone pathways, terraced garden beds and lawns bathed in sunshine. A myriad of whimsical features can be found, from outside fireplaces and a fishpond, to a hidden fort.

Upstairs you will find a large patio leading into a light-filled living area with polished timber floors & cathedral ceiling, a sweet study nook with French doors & lead-light windows and a true country kitchen with gas cooking opening to a dining room with potbelly stove. The master bedroom is air-conditioned with high ceilings, walk in robe plus a large en-suite with double vanity & private deck. The two other bedrooms on this level are also air-conditioned with built-in robes, & the modern family bathroom has the essential bathtub.

On the ground level the options are endless. Large French doors next to the double carport provide the perfect entry to the air-conditioned home office. A large living room, plus rumpus/media & fourth bedroom, provides plenty of space for hobbies or play. This level is completed by a huge laundry/utility room & powder room which could be converted to a full bathroom. You'll see there are still some finishing touches to be added on this level to make it the ideal space for the future. A large covered terrace at the rear is surrounded by lush garden and is peaceful and private.
