Last Listing description (November 2015)
Situated just minutes from Grafton in the highly regarded community of Clarenza is 400 Centenary Drive; a magnificent home created by one of Grafton's most respected, award winning building designers, Linda Coombs.
Aside from her 44 years of designing buildings, Linda is also a mother - and for twenty years she pondered with ideas, learnt from her experiences, and designed the home to embrace the needs of a large family and be equally inviting to guests.
Constructed in 1998, the solar design home is nestled privately among a vista of established gardens. The northerly aspect overlooks the 6 megalitre dam, 28 acres and the 11 meter in-ground salt water swimming pool.
The lower level of the home would suit perfectly to a number of ventures; a home-office, B&B accommodation (STCA), guest accommodation, teenagers retreat or perhaps the in-laws could move in. With two bedrooms, a bathroom and large lounge area downstairs, the options are endless.
This part of the home flows out to a perfect summer-time entertaining area, with shade from the verandahs above and manicured lawns leading out to the orchard.
Upstairs is the heart of the home; the cooks kitchen (with features galore) and dining area with unsurpassed views through louvres and glass doors.
Step into the main lounge and you ll be impressed by the size of the room, which integrates with the dining area and verandahs to create the perfect social environment And did we mention there s a perfect cuppa spot for every season?
Down the hallway you ll find three more bedrooms, each with large built-ins and sliding glass doors onto the wide verandah. In addition, the master suite is at the end of the hall, complete with ensuite and walk-in robe.
At the very top storey of the home is a loft area, which has served as a guest room, teenager s study, kids playroom and creative hub over the years.
Additional to all of this is a range of features, including a 3 bay shed with additional carport, extensive bamboo plantation, fencing for 9 paddocks for the horses or cattle, town water connected, mains power plus back-to-grid solar system, a second dam, solar hot water, two bay garage, an orchard and vege garden.
With every inch of the home strategically planned, not a single aspect of this property was left to chance, and its quality and ambience must be seen to be appreciated.
Our vendors are ready to downsize and 400 Centenary Drive needs a family to fill its rooms and appreciate all that it has to offer.
