"Havilah House" Residence
A period residence dating back to the early 1900's, was a home of distinction at the time, forming part of early Walla Walla. The artisan workmanship of the era stood the test of time with the residence changing little up to when present ownership purchased the property in 2003. The current ownership immediately seeing the potential in such a landmark property, began a total refurbishment program and gradually and efficiently returned the property to the excellent condition as it stands today.
A period residence that has retained all the grand features of the era in which it was built with a covert balance of modern day living while retaining the expose wooden features that blend sympathetically with the original residence.
The residence offers the option of four (4) established bedrooms and a large home office/study or conversion of the home office/study into a fifth (5th) bedroom. A modern ensuite facility and walk-in-robe services the master bedroom. A large family type bathroom services the balance of the bedrooms. All living areas contain modern day appliances and decor yet retain the original features with semi open plan areas and formal dining and lounges available. All fittings are of the highest quality and include light fittings, window furnishings, and carpets where applicable. A replica original AGA slow combustion stove is a feature appearance. Every aspect of the early residence has been considered with polished floorboards, wide hallway, high ceilings, wide verandahs and some lead light windows adding to the appeal of the property.
"Havilah House" surrounds are professionally created with many shrubs, garden beds and lawn areas. An attractive brick and steel picket front fence compliments the restoration of the period residence. A side concrete driveway leading to what was formally a solid brick "coach house" which in turn leads to a rear access laneway. The former "coach house" has been part of the overall refurbishment and has been converted into spacious car accommodation, workshop area on ground floor and extra accommodation, home office or studio on mezzanine floor being a special feature. A complete package.
