Last Listing description (March 2011)
Dare to Dream on 3 Acres (approx)..
Driving onto the property your curiosity is immediately sparked. You will notice the accommodation for five vehicles split between two remote garages. The car swings around into the portico and landing in front of the impressive well designed entrance. The only thing missing is the paparazzi.
Step through the double door entrance and onto the porcelain decorated tiles and you know you're in for something special. The formal lounge dining room is immediately on the right, distinctly carpeted, with curved features and decorative rosettes on the high ceilings. What a way to greet your guests.
After the formal entertaining you are presented with choices, straight forward to the study, library and parents retreat or right to the main three car garage, left to the living and the rest of the house.
Every part of this home has been considered with careful attention to daily use. The main three-car garage has double and single remote roller doors. This allows access to the cars without disturbing your boat, trailer or workshop. Coming in from the garage is a power room and toilet perfectly located before work boots enter the main part of the house.
The study and library are accessed directly from the front entrance, ideal for working from home. Comprised of two secluded rooms separated by sliding doors, overlooking the central al fresco. Although these where designed as a library and study, they present size and versatility enough to function as another lounge or retreat.
The master retreat is also accessed directly from the front entrance and gives parents the opportunity to really escape the hectic buzz of the family. The retreat comprises of four areas; bedroom, dressing room, bathroom and a sunroom with access onto a private al fresco. The bathroom features double vanity, deep spa bath, double vanity, shower and ornate inset glass feature tiles.
Now let's explore the main living areas of the home. In keeping with life, the kitchen and meals area is the central hub of the home. Featuring Caesar stone bench tops, soft closing two pack doors and drawers, Meile stainless appliances, touch control German induction hot plates and dishwasher. An alfresco area is plumbed for hot and cold water, gas and electricity and is large enough to seat fifty people. The central meals area could be divided into another lounge if required or simply kept for the main meals of the day.
Diverging off the meals area toward the front of the house is the full wet bar, complete with stainless sink, Cesar stone benches and place for automatic glass washer. The rear of the bar then overlooks the generous sized billiard room, perfectly positioned to keep noisy games separate from the comfortable central lounge. Centrally located closest to the kitchen on a feature wall, heated by a wood heater, this central lounge is perfect for a warm drink with friends or relaxing with the whole family. To complete the family entertainment is a luxurious theatre room. Although this is located next to the main lounge, it is privately separated from these rooms and the kitchen. This split level room, wired for your complete audio visual pleasure. This room is open and inviting and comfortable enough to satisfy even simple daily viewing. With these five internal, fully separated living areas, this house presents the best in daily living and entertaining.
The east wing is accessed through the kitchen. Up to five bedrooms run along the east side of the residence. One bedroom is complete with private ensuite and walk in robes. Two others share a double ensuite and both have their own walk in robe. A central retreat area services the bedrooms and provides an opportunity for games and entertainment. The last two rooms can be used either as guest bedrooms or sewing and home offices. A veranda runs along their windows and they can be accessed individually from outside. To ensure that the traffic from these bedrooms doesn't disturb the rest of the house, a separate oversized double garage exclusively services this side of the residence.
Finally, conjoining the bedrooms and the kitchen is a magnificent functional laundry. Ample Caesar stone benches provide both wet and dry areas and floor to ceiling storage. The laundry also provides direct access to the central al fresco, keeping the house clean from wet feet and dirty boots. The entire house has abundant storage with linen presses near all bedrooms, walk-in storage near the guest bedrooms and storage cupboards near both garages.
This is an exquisite home positioned forward on a flat three acre block (approx.) The old residence and three tin sheds are still behind the new house. The options are endless. Do you have the vision to landscape the grounds and create a truly presidential home? If you have ever considered this standard of family living, entertaining and investment, then you simply must inspect this truly awe inspiring home.
