It’s time for your escape to the country! Where better to be than this beautifully tranquil, immaculately cared-for property on a tall tree-dotted allotment of approx 2.5 acres.
A rambling driveway leads up to a substantial home (approximately 30sq m) built from Mt Martha quarried stone. There’s a relaxing colonial air to the impressive home, which has multi-paned windows and a verandah stretching the length of the house. North-facing and well insulated, the residence is snug and cosy with Coonara heating throughout, and in summer it stays cool without the need for air conditioners. Extensive use is made of stained timber architraves and panelling, and the natural light-filled interior is designed with flair to provide easy living comfort.
Entry is into the formal lounge and dining room with an open fireplace and french doors out to the pool area. Next comes a wonderfully spacious and open family living room with huge bay window with stunning ceiling soaring to a point, a stone feature wall, slate flooring and a timber kitchen with a walk-in pantry. Four bedrooms are on the ground floor – 3 (with built-in wardrobes) are grouped around a children’s retreat or rumpus room accessing the pool area. The master bedroom, which has a walk-in wardrobe and ensuite, is zoned apart from the other bedrooms. Up a timber staircase, a gallery lined with book shelving looks down to the floor below, and leads to an impressive loft bedroom or large study that’s has a steeply pitched roof and is fully lined in timber. Extensive in-roof storage opens off this room.
This is a property for those who love the outdoors! Horse enthusiasts will delight in having 2 stables (with gas connected), a tack room and a hay storage area. Kids have a safe and extensive outdoor play area with cubby house. Leisure lovers, entertainers and fitness fanatics will make the most of the solar/gas-heated lap pool and spa, which has glass safety fencing and crazy paving surrounds. A relaxing outdoor entertaining area is shaded by sails and looks out to the attractive walled garden encompassing a lawn.
