13 Simpsons Road, Eaglehawk, VIC, 3556, Australia

Sitting near the top of the hill on popular Simpsons Rd lies this original beautiful double brick and stone Victorian Classic. It still retains some of its mid 1800’s features including fireplaces, mantels, thick double brick and stone walls, high ceilings and much more. The façade is a mix of cut sandstone and red brick with much of the original tuck-pointing in place, there’s a large veranda, iron roof and the location is spot-on.

The property has rear access to Richards Street and is situated on 778m2, there’s a 5.5 x 8.5m powered double garage with direct access to Richard St and there’s a separate single carport.

The home boasts three bedrooms, the master includes an original built-in mantel and shelving and there’s a spacious lounge at the front of the home, there’s a gas heater and mantel and views out front. There’s a passageway from the front entry – typical of its era which leads to a vestibule-come-meals space. To one side is the laundry nook, separate toilet and bathroom which has a shower-over-bath and vanity basin with storage.

The kitchen is attached to the vestibule, but would have been separate to the original house. It boasts a large cellar, thick walls, houses a 6-seat meals table and has ample 60’s style cabinetry throughout. There’s an older gas upright cooker and an original combustion stove.
