Last Listing description (September 2015)
When, what you are looking for is to while away the hours with purpose, or with no purpose, to be completely consumed by the beauty of your home and its surrounds, where space is at a premium and size really does matter, this very beautiful country residence is now offered to you to experience and enjoy.
A picture-book setting in Vine Close and divided by a tree-groved parkland between double entrance fence lines, the sensory distinction of 'Killara' is privately introduced to you with stone pillars and a country gated entrance. A pretty gravel-lined sweeping driveway leads down through the avenue of Cyprus conifers and onto the brick-paved garden paths bathed in Japanese box and Photinia hedging, Robinia 'Mop-top' plantations and Pittosporum edging. The drive splits off to a service road, showcasing a plethora of outbuildings, lush paddocks, orchard and yards.
The portico landing off the garden, welcomes family and guests through exquisite timber-framed glass to the entrance gallery, where a generous split-living family floor plan presents itself. A masterful formal living room, quietly and beautifully set at the entrance, with views to the front garden, commands attention with stunningly crafted Northern-Red wood flooring throughout. A second living room sits adjacent to the first, stepping down to new wood flooring, with a double set of feature presentation cedar, timber-framed glass, tri-fold doors enjoying direct access to the timber-screened and stone-paved, open-air courtyard room addition. A formal dining room rests to the right of the entrance with views over the twin living rooms.
A family room with a slow combustion wood fire sits cleverly positioned with the kitchen and an additional insightful rumpus room, offering play room, study and time-out opportunities for the family. The open-plan kitchen is designed with an abundance of ceiling and under-bench cabinetry, extra bench-spaces, water filter, electric 4-burner hotplates, wall oven and Asko dishwasher. The laundry presents to the right of the kitchen with external access and a clever, over-sized walk-in service utilities room with sheeted walling in parts that closes off. All of these living rooms entice further relaxation and entertainment through sets of sliding glass doors through to the outdoor covered, brick-paved, 70m (approx.) pergola terraced addition with feature garden bedding and framed box hedging.
An opulent master bedroom sits at the front entrance with views to the front garden and a ceiling fan for ambience. A perfectly fitted walk-in robe with corner shelving, features, along with the master ensuite showcasing a three door vanity and lovely natural light.
The three additional bedrooms located along the hallway separated behind the family room, present with built-in robes, one with picture-railings, and all with lovely landscape views outside. The bedrooms are serviced by the over-sized main bathroom which is finished in large format wall to wall glass windows, filling the room with natural light. The bathroom offers a huge shower and lovely separate bath, set on the floor into porcelain tiles, with the large vanity presenting a feature moulded basin.
This very beautiful country residence is finished with tiling, timber and quality carpet flooring, curtains, roller, and venetian blind window treatments, ducted gas heating to the ceiling and presents a three automated roller door American Barn.
With a picture-book working pastureland setting, and views from every window of the home, a nursery and outbuildings for all purposes, paddocks and yards, you must simply experience the features this acreage offers to you here, to truly appreciate this very special opportunity.
