Gidgie s premier location
Reverse brick veneer construction with double insulation and exterior cladding has created a superior thermally efficient building, which uses its northern orientation to capture light, warmth and views across the stunning deciduous gardens. Vaulted ceilings with large, operable highlight windows at its apex define the spacious open plan living/dining room, which has a bank of windows and doors opening out to the deck. The living area has a feature limestone surround to the built-in slow combustion fire. The large practical kitchen has timber floorboards, an electric oven, gas cooktop, dishwasher and a massive walk-in pantry/larder.
Sets of double French doors open off the main living area into the theatre room or formal lounge and the office, located next to the formal entry. Formerly operating as an exclusive country day spa, the home has unusual luxe touches in the junior bedroom wing and a private entry off the deck to the waiting room, which has been beautifully decorated and fitted with a reverse cycle air-conditioner. All generously sized with built-in robes, the junior bedrooms share a powder room, bathroom and a laundry with external access from the double carport. The private master suite occupies the other extreme of the home and is a sublime room with fresh, lime green curtains framing ample windows, reverse cycle air-conditioning, an expansive walk-in robe and spacious ensuite with double vanities and a large shower.
However, despite its functionality and beauty inside, it s outside that this home truly shines. Magnificent alfresco living starts at the sliding doors that open out under the timber-lined, weatherproof patio, which can accommodate a lounge and dining area with ease. Follow the purple haze of wisteria down the length of the wide verandah to gain yet another aspect of the garden. Kick back next to the bar and enjoy an unobstructed outlook over the expansive infinity edge deck, which is elevated above the gently sloping garden. Soak in the decadent sunken spa, cool off in the salt pool or take in the spectacular view of the landscaped gardens from the comfort of your deck chair as you let another lazy Sunday slip by.
A lot of love has been expended on this glorious garden of rolling green lawns dotted with ornamental and deciduous fruit trees and lush, stone-edged garden beds bursting with colour and form, which are all reticulated from the bore. There s also a large, powered workshop with double roller doors, a huge steel rainwater tank, a neat, fenced vegetable patch and a chook yard. The wood shed houses a hydraulic wood splitter, one of several excellent pieces of machinery included in the sale of the property, including a 30HP tractor with a range of implements, a 7kW generator and ride-on mower to help you keep the grounds looking sharp.
With virtually no passing traffic on this quiet cul-de-sac, there is very little to disrupt this tranquil idyll, which is located in arguably the best neighbourhood in west Gidgegannup. This relaxed yet elegant home has been designed to reflect and embrace the changing faces of the seasons and the natural environment, and it does so with pragmatism, style and grace. Inspection is a must.
