Breathtaking views stretch over the glistening water of the Derwent River framed by the copse of native trees that surrounds the property providing a discrete and leafy sanctuary. Utilizing the 3700m2 approx site to perfection, the home has a functional open floor plan, generously proportioned rooms and ample windows opening up interior spaces and bringing the outdoors in. Spanning the length of the building, the balcony finishes in a spacious terrace for outdoor dining and entertaining. Extended eaves and pergolas protect the house in summer and allow the lower sun to penetrate in winter months.
The design vision is evident in the stunning living room anchored by the broad sandstone chimney and floor to ceiling windows on either side. The room is magnificent with water views and morning sun to the east, the western outlook attracting late afternoon sun and views over a surprising water feature and terraced garden. A splash of red compliments the oak parquetry flooring and ceiling of original timber beams and paneling.
For the remainder of the house the palette is subtle and soft, a background to the light airy flowing spaces. A large central island bench basks in the light of the pendant fitting in the cooks kitchen. There is a double oven, excellent storage, and minimally detailed cabinet work. The kitchen flows to the terrace and the formal dining room where double glass doors open to the living room, perfect for entertaining a crowd! Handcrafted ingenuity pervades the house as in the central winding light well staircase and heavy carved front door.
The accommodation is generous with spacious master bedroom, stylish fitted wardrobes and ensuite with Italian imported stone on hand made units. On this level there are three more double bedrooms, bathroom, powder room and large family laundry. A discrete staircase takes you to an attic bedroom/study, a hide away with fabulous views.
The ground level offers another spacious bedroom with ensuite to accommodate guests and a comfortable cinema room. There is a serious wine cellar imported from Italy, with temperature control, (capacity 500) and 2 x 160 bottle capacity wine fridges. The sauna was imported from Finland and professionally fitted by a Melbourne company. The beautifully landscaped garden has meandering paths, greenhouse, a vegetable garden and irrigation system. There is undercover parking for two, additional off-street parking for visitors and space for a boat or caravan.
