Last Listing description (April 2016)
Tis a talented and truly special property that can have you feeling completely stress free as soon as you arrive, before you've even stepped foot in the door.
Arriving at the property you are guided along a beautifully screened driveway. You immediately become aware of the serenity and privacy that this unique and scenic location has to offer. Surprisingly it is only around 12 minutes from the city centre and 500 meters from river reserve.
The bespoke build has made peace with its surrounding environment. The
high quality, cedar clad home sits in an imposing, elevated position with views across the nearly 4 acre property. Raised deck areas with contemporary stainless steel balustrades provide ample vantage points to take in the view and compliment the character of the home.
Arriving at the entrance and climbing the stairs to the front door you notice the charming personality that the use of antique, high quality doors and fittings brings. This lovely aspect continues throughout the home.
The crowning glory of the home is the magnificent open plan living area that greets you as you enter, soaring gabled ceilings with exposed beams acts as a canopy to the character Jarrah floorboards and Pine lined walls, each bringing the warmth of a cottage, but with a striking modern twist.
In the corner, backed by a feature stonework section, sits the hearty wood fire. One can imagine pouring a cup of hot chocolate, snuggling up on the lounge and basking in the glorious warmth of the flames, all the while looking out over the stunning view through the massive windows which frame it with glass!
You flow through into the dining area, where double glass door lead out to the first of two entertainers decks which front the home- a wonderful connection between indoor and outdoor living.
The kitchen shines with its bespoke styling, which is both rustic, and of the highest quality at the very same time.
Unique textured tin insert panels are framed by jarrah cabinetry and solid granite bench tops- a dishwasher ingeniously disguised with the same facade and an electric oven and stove and stainless steel range hood tucked amongst the ample storage.
The configuration of the remainder of the home is chameleon like, with several multi functional spaces that turn the home into a perfect retreat for a couple (where guests are welcomed with open arms) or a family with a yearning for dynamic, unique spaces.
The first bedroom is a pine lined queen size resort retreat, a character doorway leads through to the combined laundry and en suite which also connects to the kitchen, and double glass doors lead out to the front deck.
A statement jarrah staircase leads up to a handy loft, which could be perfect as a lounge hideaway, children's room or study.
The master bedroom is a hearty king size with gabled ceilings, a full wall of wooden robes and a view out to the decking, courtyard area that gazes up at the native bushland beyond- furry creatures and feathered friend's regular visitors to your environment. The en suite bathroom feature a deep soaking bath, large open style shower, toilet, and a vanity styled in the same design as the kitchen cabinetry.
Finally, a two sectioned family room or third bedroom and study finalise the interior of the home- providing a wonderful air conditioned teenagers retreat, games space or guest accommodation with its own sink.
Various outbuildings on the 4 acre property melt into their surroundings- including a quirky studio space or versatile room, separate workshop and storage area, wood shed and two smaller garden sheds that can be used for any purpose you desire.
A property that is as individual as you- take a step away from the ordinary and live, deeply relaxed, in this beautiful sanctuary of the finest quality.
