Meandering along its tree lined driveway, you will appreciate the tranquil, private setting enveloping this beautiful character home. Exuding a warm, welcoming ambience, designed and built with a Queenslander feel and French provincial features, this modern country home oozes charm and exquisite attention to detail.
The original part of the house hosts a music/reading room featuring a stunning fireplace with a dual access wood burning stove, serving both this room and the dining room beyond. Also in this part of the house are three bedrooms – one currently being used as a study; the family bathroom, separate W.C. and laundry. French doors give access to a screened porch . . . protecting your boots and furry friends from the elements.
As you move through to the extension, you cannot but be impressed by the tastefully appointed interior, intuitively designed to maximise the flow of natural light and allow access to the stunning views outside. A large dining room, a sunlit sitting room complete with window seat and a beautiful formal lounge enjoy access through large bi-fold timber doors to the outside deck. Screened with modern plantation shutters this versatile deck is truly a space for all seasons.
The magnificent kitchen in this property is built in the French provincial style with European appliances; boasting a central island bench with a granite top. The surrounding benches are a rich, Jarrah timber with a large servery opening to the deck.
The Parents’ wing consists of a master bedroom and walk in robe leading to a tastefully appointed ensuite; featuring twin basins and granite tops. French doors link the master to the front verandah enjoying the views and afternoon sea breezes. Close to the master is a fifth bedroom – currently being used as a second study – but its proximity also makes it a perfect nursery.
Set on 5.68 grassy acres with breathtaking views to Mount Samson, the property is divided into three paddocks with an extensive vegetable garden complete with a chook ‘palace’. The home yard is fully dog fenced with trees creating many shady nooks where you can sit and while away the hours listening to the plethora of bird species . . . or watch the wallabies grazing at dusk.
Adjacent to the house is the 6m x 6.5m two bay car port. The property also boasts a fully concreted and engineered 18m x 6m shed with mezzanine. Part of this shed is lockable whilst the remainder could serve as a large workshop or be fitted out with no less than three 4m x 4m horse boxes.
This property has a good balance of flat and undulating land, maximising both usability and access to views. Beyond the horse friendly paddocks you can climb the hill and be rewarded by expansive views to Lake Samsonvale.
This has been a much loved and cherished home and it is just waiting for you to make it yours.
