However, this house just goes on and on and on.
A beautifully airy timber stairwell leads down from the upper living area to a cornucopia of rooms on the lower level. Timber panelled walls echo the theme above. But what opens out below could be an echo of the Doctor Who's Tardis - because the entire upper-level floor area is duplicated on the downstairs level. The staircase opens to a home theatre, two more bedrooms, one of which is currently an office/man cave/music room, and a wine cellar. But wait, there's more! Moving through this space brings you to a huge open plan area containing a home gym and laundry, a firewood store and oodles of storage space. This area is also accessible directly from the rear garden.
And that's only the house. In the expansive grounds, with lawns, blackwoods, a mighty oak and mature eucalypts, bordered on one side by the permanent Bird Creek, there's an absolutely enormous shed, with the biggest central truss (a tree) that you're ever likely to see.
Brunivale' also has a fascinating history. A hundred plus years ago Bolton Stafford Bird, a pioneering orchardist who helped to establish the Tasmanian-European apple trade, a leading political figure and one of the eleven founding fathers of the Australian Federation lived on this property. He was the first warden of Bruny Island and indeed his house, tragically destroyed in the fire that gave birth to this current home, served as the original Bruny Island Council Chambers for many years.
We'll tell you all about it when we show you over this unique, impressive - and very realistically-priced - example of Bruny Island real estate.
