The elegant formal living area has ceiling-high sash windows and French doors that fill the room with light and breezes in summer and is warmed by a cosy antique fireplace in winter. The spacious dining room overlooking the central courtyard can comfortably seat at least six to ten guests.
There are four very large bedrooms, two smaller bedrooms ??? all opening onto verandahs ??? and a separate studio or work-from-home office. The main bedroom has its own en suite and ???his and hers??? dressing rooms, each with built-ins and vanity.
Covered verandahs surround most of the house, capturing gentle breezes, light and warmth all year round. The unique floor plan comprises two separate dwellings connected by a timbered walkway and central courtyard set around a magnificent poinciana tree. This is just one of many recreation areas that the house has to offer, all perfect for entertaining on a large or small scale or just to sit and soak in the serenity.
The second dwelling, built as a separate wing in 1978, overlooks the pool and features separate children???s or teenage accommodation and its own bathroom, rumpus and loft. Alternatively, the structure lends itself to private guest-wing accommodation or conversion to a spacious granny flat.
Modern enhancements to this historic home include CAT 5 Ethernet network cabling, high-speed Internet access, ceiling fans, gas heating, dishwasher, range hood, swimming pool, a 10,000-litre rainwater tank, secure lock-up garage and covered parking space for up to five cars.
The grounds are home to abundant fauna and birdlife, including pale-headed rosellas, king parrots, lorikeets, kookaburras, tawny frogmouths, goshawks and pheasants, as well as the occasional koala, kangaroo or deer that might wander down from the nearby state forest. There is a fully fenced and lockable paddock, perfect for adjistment, and a massive barn to store your hay bales and horse float, or if you prefer, park your boat and set up your own workshop.
Whatever your lifestyle, this magnificent home will offer you something unique and rare.
