THE HOME
By the time you've ambled beyond your picket fence, through the verdant landscaped front garden with elegant curving hedges, established trees and past the centrepiece water fountain you'll feel an instant sense of calm - your families' sanctuary away from the noise of the outside world.
The deep front porch sets the tone for the period allure to come with roman style pillars, a Baltic polished pine lined roof and a rare Western Red Cedar front door with romantic led lighting glass.
This is an expansive home that celebrates the natural. It evokes a gentle energy with its pitched terracotta roof, spreading eaves, original red brick paving, warming Jarrah, Baltic Pine and Tasmanian Hardwood Oak accents through-out with a special mention to the doors in Western Red Cedar - a material near impossible to find anymore and with a reputation for lasting forever. Discover untouched period details everywhere, look up and admire the original decorative fret work, soaring ceilings with detailed cornices and ornate roses, a feature led lighting glass porthole and to tie it all together garden vistas to set your eyes upon through every window.
The floorplan flows abundantly, once inside a wide elegant entrance hallway leads to three generous bedrooms. A place for calm connection they are superbly appointed with enviable wardrobe storage and wide detailed architraves and skirtings. The master is an oasis with gorgeous feature bay casement windows and a decadent fireplace. All bedrooms are serviced by the immaculate central bathroom with separate spa bathtub and shower.
Flowing off the hallway is the lounge room, once again decorative ceilings dominate and French double doors open up to the rear side garden. There is also a designated study nook.
Continuing on, the home subtly transforms into its extension, here the chef inspired kitchen doused in natural sunlight is the beginning of each day and the centre of every party. It features an oversized c shape granite stone benchtop with splashback, double stainless steel sinks, gas stove top and dishwasher, abundant clever storage and double built in wall ovens to make cooking a pleasure.
The outdoor living zone is an alluring alfresco retreat that invites serene relaxation and celebrations with family and friends in style. The undercover designated BBQ area also boasts a stunning wood-fire pizza oven. Over these summer months, the soothing sound of your stack stone cascading water fountain will coax you into the sparkling blue tilled solar heated pool. For added convenience there is a second outdoor bathroom with shower and toilet too.
The large double garage is laid on a solid concrete slab and features paved red-brick flooring and a polished Baltic pine roof, for added discreet storage there is also a manhole.
