This homestead is nestled amongst lush gardens on more than 4,800sqm, while being just one kilometre from the centre of Yass.

“‘Sleepy Hollow’ is a unique, elegant residence which was originally built in 1895 and has been sympathetically renovated and extended to its current glory and offers a reflection of old-world charm and ambience,” says Maria Selleck, director and sales agent at Maria Selleck Properties.

Beautifully updated in keeping with its history, the home’s modern kitchen is a central hub with island bench and granite benchtops, overlooking the dining room with its feature stained-glass windows, allowing light to stream in.

Multiple living areas means there is space in spades for family life – both inside and out. A separate living room at the front of the home has access to the veranda, while both the formal living room/library and the family room have access to the covered entertaining deck outside, complete with a swim spa enjoying views of the garden.

“This beautiful home is ideally suited to any family who is looking for a semi-rural lifestyle in an urban area with all the modern comforts and amenities,” says Selleck.

“The property sits amid a huge 4,882sqm block of lush, mature landscaped gardens complete with a picturesque pond and bridge.  

“The park-like garden is regarded as one of the best in Yass and has been an ‘open garden’ on several occasions.”
