Built by legendary Hills builder (Gordon Prunster), this 1981 brick home sits proudly on a level 4.5 acre block at the highest point of the immediate area.The dimensions of all rooms are of generous proportions - allowing plenty of scope for the new owners to add their personal touches. Space is a feature throughout the home with soaring raked ceilings in the main living area and 3m ceilings elsewhere. The main living area consists of a huge formal lounge with a built in bar and beautiful jarrah parquetry on the dance floor. The room features both a solid fuel heater and a reverse cycle air conditioner. The formal dining area is positioned between the lounge and the kitchen and comfortably accommodates a 8 seat table. The country style kitchen has extensive bench space and cupboards and includes a wood fired auger plus a modern oven with gas top cooking. A two drawer dishwasher allows you to keep entertaining your guest whilst the machine takes care of the cleaning. There is an extra tap in the kitchen sink providing rainwater direct from a small tank. Direct access from the double garage allows an easy offload of groceries.Adjacent to the kitchen and conveniently located is a large study or home office. Of course, this room could alternatively be used as a sewing room, store room, play room, nursery or a fifth bedroom if required. The sleeping quarters are separate from the living spaces with generous sized bedrooms. The master suite is huge with a deluxe en suite (including a large spa bath).The water is heated by a solar system on the roof and the home owners installed solar panels to help reduce power bills. Outside, the home is protected by wide verandahs on most sides. A special feature is the Mulga logs used as verandah posts - these provide a natural barrier to timber pests and offer a unique character not found in many homes.Close to the house is a fully fenced, below ground concrete pool. This is kidney shaped and cleverly protected from the prevailing breezes by vegetation. A few steps down the path will lead you to a concrete wine cellar - of course this has alternative uses but it is ideal for it's intended purpose. Next to the cellar, there is a "smoker room" large enough for a whole sheep.A large flat area provides an opportunity for multiple vehicles to be parked outside of the huge workshop - approximately 17m x 9m. This workshop has a concrete floor, 3 phase power and water - also a shower and a toilet.The front part of the block is mostly cleared and could accommodate a pony or other livestock. There are some sheep yards and a large wood shed. There is also a ready made chook run so you move your chickens in straight after settlement. The property is a regular shape with 77m frontage to Brooking Road and is approximately 233m deep. The neighbourhood is friendly - this is the first time the property has been offered for sale in 40 years! The current owners built the home and are relocating to a regional area to be closer to their family.This is a once in a generation opportunity to secure a prime 1.8 hectare block with a well built family home, a pool and a large shed - don't delay.Call David on 0414 477674 to arrange a private viewing.
