1900s Braidwood homestead a stunning blend of the old and the new

With charm, character and an amazing amount of space, this 110-year-old homestead mixes the old and the new seamlessly.

The stunning period home was once a part of a larger farm holding named ‘The Springs’ - and the property retains the name to this day.

Built in the early 1900s, 332 Kain Cross Road has been lovingly restored. Highlights include original hardwood cladding, three-metre ceilings, modern kitchen appliances, restored window frames and sills, as well as a 2.4-kilowatt solar system.

With the majority of the restoration now complete and the hard work done, the property offers the opportunity for someone to add their finishing touches and make this stunning period home their own.

Positioned on a vast 40.47 hectares (100 acres) of land, this three-bedroom, two-bathroom home is one you’ll love to come home – or escape – to.

Ray White Braidwood real estate agent Suzanne Carter says the home’s historic features are beautiful.

“All the home’s original features have been retained and restored with care,” Suzanne says.

“You’ve got great features like the original front door with stained glass, original hardwood flooring, and the home’s wood-fired baker’s oven and cooking fireplace in the kitchen.”

Driving down the home’s tree-lined driveway, a wealth of green land surrounds you from every angle.

Each of the three bedrooms is at the front of the home, with the master bedroom featuring fantastic views to the front gardens, a walk-in wardrobe, and an ensuite.

Continuing down the length of the home is the first of the homes living spaces, the sitting room, which features a wood fireplace and abundant sunlight.

At the back of the home is the kitchen and a second lounge room. The kitchen features a mix of modern and classic with an electric stove and original wood baker’s oven.

Suzanne says the home has the character of a period homestead with modern features.

“This place is like a little piece of Australian farm history that’s been brought into the modern day,” she says.

“The home has great country charm, but with new infrastructure around Braidwood, the internet connection is great so you could spend your time working from home.”

The large lounge room at the rear of the home features bay windows similar to the master, which makes it the perfect option for a fourth bedroom.

Outside you’ll find a separate studio and laundry, which could be used for storage or as a small workshop.

332 Kain Cross Road, Braidwood, is for sale for $1,390,000.
