ABSOLUTE WATERFRONT BEACH HOME
TWO WORDS BEST DESCRIBE THIS GORGEOUS WATERFRONT HOME RIGHT ON BARNES BAY - BREATHTAKINGLY FABULOUS! THIS IS A HOME YOU HAVE TO EXPERIENCE; NO WORDS, NO PHOTOS, NOTHING EXCEPT BEING HERE CAN GIVE YOU THE TRUE SENSE OF JUST HOW WONDERFUL THIS HOME MAKES YOU FEEL. WITH A LONG, ABSOLUTE WATERFRONT BOUNDARY AND AN END OF PROMONTORY, VERY PRIVATE, VERY SHELTERED POSITION THIS HOME COULD NOT BE MORE BEAUTIFULLY LOCATED. THE PROPERTY COMES WITH 2 MOORINGS AND PLENTY OF ROOM ON YOUR OWN VERY ACCESSIBLE FORESHORE FOR THE DINGHY - THERE'S EVEN A WATERSHED FOR THE BOATING GEAR AND A FISH TABLE BESIDE IT FOR THE FAMILY FISHERMAN. SO WHETHER A BOATIE OR A WATERSIDE-LOVING LAND-LUBBER - EVERYONE IS WELL-CATERED FOR. ONCE INSIDE THIS BEAUTIFULLY RESTORED HOME YOU ARE SO CLOSE TO THE WATER YOU FEEL YOU MIGHT ACTUALLY BE ON IT. THE HOME ITSELF IS BEST DESCRIBED AS ''ORGANICALLY GROWN''. LOVE, CARE AND A TALENT FOR COLLECTING, RENOVATING AND RESTORING OVER THE YEARS HAVE GONE INTO PROVIDING JUST THE RIGHT INGREDIENTS FOR THIS ECLECTIC HOME. THE END RESULT IS PERFECTION.MASSIVE LAMINATED PICTURE WINDOWS ARE YOUR PORTHOLES ONTO THE BAY. A CLEVER USE OF WARM TIMBERS, OREGON, JARRAH, (PARTICULARLY IN THE FLOORS) AND TASMANIAN OAK, BEATEN METAL AND STAINED GLASS ADD THEIR ARTISTRY TO THE HOME AND THERE ARE WONDERFUL SURPRISES AND SPECIAL FEATURES THROUGHOUT. THE BATHROOM IS A REAL TREAT AND THE NO-FUSS CHEF'S KITCHEN (BUILT FOR A GENUINE CHEF), IS GUARANTEED TO PLEASE. LIGHT FLOODS INTO THE HOME, NOT JUST FROM THE PICTURE WINDOWS BUT FROM STRATEGICALLY PLACED SKYLIGHTS. IN ADDITION TO THE BATHROOM IS A POWDER ROOM AND THE RIDICULOUSLY ATTRACTIVE LAUNDRY COMES WITH ITS OWN STORAGE AND EXTRA UTILITY/BOOT ROOM. LOW DECKS AROUND THE HOUSE ADD TO THE BOATING AMBIENCE. THE EXTERNAL, (SILVERED HARD-WOOD), APPEARANCE OF THE HOME IS DELIBERATELY RUSTIC AND ''SHACK'' LIKE - BUT THIS IS NO SHACK.THE PROPERTY IS COMPLETED BY A PRODUCTIVE, MINIMUM-CARE GARDEN AND A WONDERFUL STUDIO ANY ARTIST OR ARTISAN WOULD GIVE EYE-TEETH FOR. CURRENTLY A WORKSHOP AND A WORK IN PROGRESS, IT COMPRISES OF TWO ROOMS AND A STORAGE LOFT WITH HAND BUILT, SOLID TIMBER STAIRCASE. BESIDE IT IS AN OPEN FRONTED, FULLY ROOFED STORAGE OR WORKSHOP AREA AND A SECOND CARPORT. SO UNUSUAL IS THIS LITTLE STUDIO/BOTHY, IT TOO HAS TO BE SEEN FOR THE REAL POTENTIAL TO BE DISCOVERED.IF YOU HAVE EVER FANCIED A TRULY MAGICAL, TRUE WATERFRONT HOME, THIS ONE IS NOT TO BE MISSED.
