Vintage Steel was built with the idea of being a smart house , thanks to the high density wall and ceiling insulation, double structural framework for added strength, energy efficient hot water system, all new plumbing and wiring and specialised home ventilation system. Outside, the extras keep coming - fully landscaped gardens featuring sandstone blocks and space for six cars, off street parking available. Vintage Steel was built in 1889 and used as a hay shed the building was then lovingly restored and renovated over a period of 6 years. The results are a stunning industrial warehouse with gorgeous views of the country side from bedrooms, kitchen and bathrooms towards the rear of the property, rooms and verandah to the front of the house look over the pool area and out to where the sunsets.
