Crafted after the Traditional Colonial residences of old, this modern 21st Century homestead is built around double height sandstone bricks, and surrounded by bullnose -style verandahs on a delightful 6000sqm of Hidden Valley Acreage. This majestic home is high, wide and handsome, commanding sweeping views of the South Pine River and its valley. The owners have had their builder include many unique features to enhance the expansive feel of space and presence.
Entry is via the twin timber staircases to double entry doors with stain glass infill, into a foyer with hallstand for that formal welcome.
The upstairs area contains a master bedroom and two other huge bedrooms, with built-ins in every one, along with enormous walk-in robe and ensuite for the master. The other two bedrooms are accompanied by their own expansive twin sink bathroom with separate toilet and spa bath and shower. Specifically designed for teenage living where each has their own space.
The north-facing kitchen is the focus of the living/family area finished in Tasmanian Oak to complement the highly polished Australiana wood floors. The walk-in pantry and island benches contribute to the huge preparation area for family feasts.
A unique feature is the multiple French door access from the family room/ Master Bedroom and Formal Lounge room, directly out onto the expansive hardwood deck areas. The entire living and entertaining area can be opened up to catch the breezes through the 9ft ceilings, and allow uninterrupted strolling along the decking whilst you enjoy the views. The double width rear decking leads out to an enormous rotunda, fully covered and surrounded by period style lattice, for easily coping with those large gatherings. However, if the weather is unkind, the living and bedroom areas are all separately air conditioned.
Formal Living has not been forgotten, with a massive formal dining room connected by a concealed doorway directly to the kitchen. Diners can then stroll across the hallway to the delightful formal lounge, with sweeping valley views.
The emphasis has been on storage, with many oversized areas such as a walk in Linen Press, hallway storage for brooms and vaccumaid hoses; absolutely nothing has been overlooked.
At the rear of the upstairs area is a functional office or extra bedroom, next to a laundry like you have never seen, containing a craft/sewing / hobby room complete with work benches and yet more storage.
The internal staircase leads down to what could easily be dual living. A lounge/rumpus with wet bar that could easily be another kitchen is accompanied by 2 more double bedrooms, with huge built-ins, of course. Another complementary colonial style bathroom splits the bedrooms.
Out through the double doors is the triple internal garage, with room for the largest of vehicles.
At the rear of the block is a 6 metre deep 2 bay lockup shed complete with workshop area, fully powered. Attached to the shed is a 3.5 metre high undercover storage port, for the largest of boats or caravans. The block gently slopes to Harley court and fully grassed as it was previously a golf course, prior to development. Low maintenance has been the focus, but contains enormous potential for the gardener.
You don’t need to wait for an open home; we are happy to make inspections by appointment for serious buyers.
