Tucked away privately off the road, 387A Galpins Road is a lifestyle offering with serious presence combining character, flexibility, and a setting that’s hard to replicate. The home is where it really sets itself apart. Four generous bedrooms, a striking central hallway, and character features throughout including high ceilings, bay windows, and a feel that’s warm, inviting, and full of personality. It’s been thoughtfully updated over time, keeping its original charm while making it comfortable for modern living. The kitchen sits at the heart of it all, complete with a one-of-a-kind handcrafted benchtop sourced from the property itself, a real talking point. It flows naturally through the open-plan living and dining, then straight out to expansive decking. This is where the home comes alive, whether it’s quiet mornings or full-on entertaining. And then there’s the added bonus of a fully self-contained setup with its own bedroom, living area, ensuite, and private deck. With separate access, it’s ideal for extended family, guests, or even creating an additional income stream. Functionality hasn’t been overlooked either. A separate laundry, extra multi-purpose room, and dual access points give the home flexibility to suit a range of living situations. Step outside and it only gets better. The grounds are something special, established gardens, your own orchard, pockets of native bush, and seasonal ponds that give the property a real sense of escape. Multiple sheds add practicality, including workshop space, a car pit, and even a character-filled former dance hall that hints at the property’s past. There’s space here to explore, unwind, and enjoy, and for those with vision, even the potential to bring it back to life as a small event or wedding-style venue. This is more than just a lifestyle property it’s a place with soul, options, and a setting that’s hard to leave. You need to see it to fully appreciate what’s on offer.
