THE RESIDENCE:
In a word, “unique”. Lovingly built over a 30 year period, this comfortably elegant 3 bedroom residence is full of historical interest and it’s bushland setting affords privacy and total relaxation.

Only 20 minutes drive to either Hornsby or Gosford.

With a flagged sandstone driveway to the carport and large garage/workshop with ample space for other cars or boat/caravan, the home is built on three levels. The entry level features 3 bedrooms, all with built-ins and ensuite to main. An internal staircase links this level to the spacious family living and entertainment areas with a large, country-style, brick-floored kitchen, island bench with double round sinks, a feature wall of convict bricks, wall oven, walk-in pantry (with huge additional storage area accessible through pantry where it is the ideal temperature year round for a wine cellar). The main bathroom features a huge spa, cedar lining and pot belly stove.

The main lounge/dining area has a cosy bar area and slow combustion stove. Another formal lounge area features a huge European-style stone fireplace. Both rooms, and the kitchen, open onto a large covered rear entertaining deck with water views overlooking the sloping lawns and gardens to the Hawkesbury River. There is abundant native bird life and fauna.

Access to the bottom level is from either the rear deck or side stone paths. There is a large laundry, BBQ area, spare utility room with extra covered storage.

The entire home is constructed from recycled steel, hardwood, oregon and cedar, and the exterior is clad in natural, random set sandstone.

The total land size is 1518 square metres (approx.) and, subject to council approval, has the possibility of subdivision.

The owners have built this gracious home to conform to the environment long before such regulations came into being.
