A solid timber door with a leadlight window offers a warm welcome into the first of two generous living areas. The full chimney outside translates into a gracious brick fireplace with a double mantle and Coonara wood heater here, for both warmth and ambience. Ceiling fans and skylights add the perfect finishing touches to this room.
The large open plan design incorporates the adjoining dining room equipped with an air conditioner to keep your family and friends lovely and cool so you can dine in comfort. This adjoins a pristine new kitchen with ample bench and cupboard space, stainless steel appliances including a 900mm gas stove with 5 burner cooktop and Bosch dishwasher, a large butler's pantry with a barn style door completes the picture.
At the top of the beautiful staircase is the second large living area or rumpus room and a separate study with a built-in-desk leading off one end. The gorgeous Cathedral ceilings are really showcased here, the angles are interesting and a nice view is provided down over the lounge. This versatile area would be ideal for teenagers or as guest accommodation and is kept comfortable with the provision of two Daiken invertor reverse cycle air conditions along with two ceiling fans.
At the other end of the upstairs area is another good sized versatile room currently in use as the third bedroom. Downstairs the master bedroom is large and comes complete with a walk-in-robe and luxury ensuite with new fixtures. A separate toilet here is cleverly positioned to have dual access from the main bedroom and also from a short hall which is conveniently close for those coming in the back door or those already in the lounge room. The other bedroom is on the ground floor also and takes in the lovely countryside through a large bay window.
Also downstairs is a massive bathroom offering a his-and-hers vanity, shower, separate bath and second toilet, as well as a huge laundry to make you the envy of anyone who understands the supreme functionality of a good laundry.
Wide bull nose verandahs wrap around the home and provide a great place to relax and enjoy a cuppa with family and friends while you take in the outlook across the property and the views of Mount Moliagul in the distance.
