Originally built in 1930, Dutton House has been meticulously restored and expanded with attention to authentic detail to the highest of standards.

Leading on from the grand entrance foyer you are greeted by the large formal sitting room and palatial dining room, both with their very own access to the sweeping, mosaic-tiled verandah surrounding the home. Adjoining the main entrance is another large room, perfect for a home theatre or comprehensive den.
At the heart of the home lies the rich timber kitchen which features contrasting marble bench tops with stainless steel appliances. The kitchen is adorned with its very own butler's servery and underground cellar. For quick and easy dining, the kitchen also overlooks a casual meals and living area with double doors extending to the rear verandah.
Offering up to six generous sized bedrooms and five bathrooms, the grand master suit features a spacious en suite bathroom with corner spa, as well as two walk in robes. Also on the second floor you will find an inbuilt kitchenette with marble bench top neatly hidden behind two doors.
To accommodate the growing family or visiting guests, the home has an ideally positioned separate guest wing with private bathroom and external side access leading to the front verandah and double carport.
