Twenty-First Century Homestead
Located on the “Paradise Peninsula”, this 1990’s brick home has been extensively renovated for 21st century living yet retains the feel of an iconic Aussie homestead.
The home is sited on an elevated level 5-acre block taking in views across Mortimer Bay to South Arm and beyond. There is also easy access to local beaches and walking trails, making this home an excellent lifestyle choice.
As you approach the house via an imposing circular driveway, you will be impressed by the combination of native flora and designer landscaping. You access the property via a small set of steps bordered by bulging garden beds. There is ample parking for you and your guests at the side of the house.
The homestead feel starts with a full wrap around verandah – this is a great place to sit with a drink while the sun goes down over the Bay, or watching the kids play in the yard or entertaining friends in any weather – the versatility of the verandah space opens up a host of possibilities.
You enter the home via a modern glass front door featuring two side panels of stained glass. The foyer is light, bright and features wooden floors that extend into the living areas. The family accommodation is accessed via a hallway to the left of the foyer, while the living and entertaining areas are to the right.
The living room is probably the most stunning room in this home, with its vaulted ceiling incorporating skylights plus two magnificent floor to ceiling picture windows taking in the garden views. This space is kept warm and cosy with a wood burner plus a reverse cycle air conditioner.
The living room flows onto the dining and kitchen space, making this area an entertainer’s dream. The dining space is large enough for an eight seat dining suite plus a buffet. This area also features sliding glass doors taking you onto the verandah giving you more space for your guests.
The dining space is separated from the kitchen via a breakfast bar that incorporates some practical shelving at one end. The kitchen / dining space also features three large skylights for even more light.
The kitchen itself is designed in a mix of blonde wood and white laminate, giving the space a very modern feel. There is ample bench space and loads of storage. The oven is by AEG and the hot plates are Fisher and Paykel. There is also a Bosch dishwasher.
The private wing of the house features three large bedrooms, all with built-in wardrobes and plenty of natural light. The master also features a luxury ensuite located behind a timber feature wall. The hallway and bedrooms all have soft light grey carpets and are finished in neutral tones.
