It’s always a pleasure to see a home at Gulmarrad that has a little bit of difference about it. The main difference is the construction and materials that the owners have used. The home is built up off the ground on steel piers as opposed to a cement slab and the home has a certain swagger about it with a Hampton’s or Queenslander style. Yes, it has a difference to the others at Gulmarrad and that is its appeal.

The quality of the build is second to none. Built by local Master Builder Andrew Dawes only 19 months ago, the home lacks nothing in quality and style throughout. First of all is the aspect of the home. Beautiful wide front verandahs take in that Northern morning sun and out the back you have the huge Jarrah hardwood deck, ideal for afternoons and entertaining guests when they arrive. This special place has the outlook over the backyard which is fully fenced, for the pets and the gate down the back gives you access to the block from all sides.

If you think outside looks sharp, then wait until you get inside. Immediately you will be taken aback with the finer details. Such as the all the access points to the verandah from inside. Double French doors, ($25,000 just in their cost to install) open out to let the cooling north east breeze through with screened protection on the inside. This allows the air to flow throughout the home and the fully insulated roof space makes for comfort all year round.
The floating timber floor are throughout the whole home, perfect for those conscious about their health with no carpets in sight. The ceiling height is just a step higher than a normal home and don’t forget the country styled theme throughout with select tiles that complement the kitchen and bathroom areas, the owners certainly have a good eye for colours and styling.

The huge main bedroom at one end of the home with its own ensuite and robe allow the new owners to separate from the rest of the family if they desire. You can have complete privacy in this home. The breakfast servery off the kitchen is a welcome design addition which allows you to entertain and connect with guests off that wonderful back verandah.

In the Gulmarrad area you will be able to experience a lifestyle living on small acreage and space from neighbours, still having the enjoyment of fishing with other water activities in the Clarence River and the pristine beaches of Brooms Head and Sandon which are only 15 – 20 minutes’ drive away.
