NURUNG is a wonderful example of how houses were built in 1926. Taking two years to build with amazing attention to detail. Wide skirting boards, hardwood floors (now covered with carpets, but ready to be exposed). Two bathrooms(plus an extra toilet), high 10ft 4″ ceilings, cornices, large laundry with its own fuel stove (still working and perfect for the Sunday roast)
The kitchen is large and would cope with even the biggest family meals! Also perfect for entertaining. The wooden island bench (butcher’s block) has power connected, making it a great place for the Kitchen Aid or juicer! Wonderful bespoke kitchen cabinets take up nearly a whole wall with so much storage space! The piece de resistance is the Butler’s pantry! A room nearly as big as the kitchen with a servery door leading into the main dining room! There is an original food cupboard which has mesh sides and a secret door where the food, milk, bread or cheese were passed through by the travelling vendors and kept fresh due to the low temperature of the marble. A very nostalgic and delightful surprise.
The gardens are magical,colourful and filled with birdlife! With splendid bursts of colour in both Autumn and Spring. The garden was opened to the public for 16 years for the Leura Garden Festival and continues to delight both gardeners and nature lovers alike.
This is a home on a rather grand scale and would be a perfect family home and/or weekender!
If design, architecture, magnificent gardens, large accommodation, wonderful country kitchen and a home with so many special features is what you are looking for, then please make the time to inspect NURUNG. By appointment with Kim Martin on 0412269955
