Last Listing description (September 2008)
FREYCINET is a property with natural verve.
Fashioned around the famous Tasmanian national park, Freycinet was artfully sculpted to harmonise with the countryside surrounding, not stand proud of it.
Freycinet"s riveting 281m-#61447; 4 bedroom homestead is elegant yet relaxed. Set back high on its nice 2 acre block its finishes of rendered earthly pastels & modern metal trims deliver a softly discreet persona.
The home"s lines were extended to capture the views & natural light associated with country living. Strategically placed doors & windows permit heady wafting garden fragrances to reach each corner of the home. There isn"t a place you can"t curl up with a frothy "cuppa"& enjoy the symphony of bubbling water coursing around the fountain channels & Blue Wrens fossicking amongst the shrubs. Sheer delight!
This is a new home with many traditional design features. There"s a large greeting foyer with a formal lounge off to its right & a double cavity door study off to its left. This is ideal for work-from-homers who may have clients coming to the front door & don"t need to access the rest of the home.
For more relaxed occasions there"s plenty of space to entertain guests in the enormous family/meals room that flows out to the magnificent alfresco dining area. If you are into outside entertaining well this will ignite your imagination. Professionally designed & topped off with a pizza/roasting oven, bar & sink this is "the" alfresco dining area of your dreams.
If this isn"t enough there"s a separate rumpus/games room that would make an excellent home theatre or formal dining room. The kitchen is an adept mix of the aesthetic & practical. Smoothly finished in light laminates & stone tops there"s also a large pantry & plenty of drawer & cupboard space.
Freycinet"s gardens are fresh, beautiful & gingerly exotic. As you would expect from a property with this type of name the lavish gardens are reminiscent of our
natural heritage. Thousands of rounded polished stones have been carefully packed behind wire grids providing a unique textured backdrop to the neatly trimmed lawns. The centerpiece water feature comprises cut railway sleepers with the water jets flowing out of the original spike holes. From the fountain pond the water flows around perfect channels, very similar to this seen in Moorish gardens in Spain. Soft plantings of grass palms, exotic shrubs, decorative grasses & effervescent ground covers make you feel as if you are actually in Freycinet National Park. A fanned staircase wends up to the rear garden with its child"s play centre, cubby house, raised veggie gardens & poultry shed & run.
At the top of the block there"s a fabulous 6 car 10m x 12m shed with an integrated bathroom & 3m high centre door. Not just a shed but a way of life there"s plenty of room to park the car collection & boat plus set up the workshop of your dreams. With the block being suitable for a pony there"s also ample space for a feed & tack room.
Freycinet is a beautifully established rural residential property that can become your natural treasure.
