Afforded the luxury of a roomy 6085 square metre block, this elaborate home is the result of smart thinking and a cluey design, positioned within its leafy surrounds to ensure shelter from the road, personable sleeping quarters with delightful garden backdrops and multiple outdoor living options that ensure you can enjoy the environment all the year through.
Peacefully nestled just a stone’s throw from the banks of the King River, established native gardens at the rear of the home frame views of the twinkling river water, a scene that can be enjoyed from the home’s substantial decking entertaining area.
Access via double doors from the main living area create a brilliant synergy between indoors and the great outdoors, and entice you to wander out there for a cup of tea, a lazy barbecue or a family dinner regularly.
Internally, the home has undergone extensive refurbishment under the loving supervision of the current owners to become a place of warmth and class. A palate of classic heritage tones enhances the prestige of antiques and family heirlooms, but would compliment modern furnishings with equal elegance. The elongated width of the home’s design allows for a stately hallway to run along the entire front section of the home, introducing living areas, storage and the bedroom wing, but never once feeling pokey.
A formal lounge room lies beyond an archway entrance and features lush, soft deep grey carpet and a wood fire for a cosy feel, as well as a huge draped window looking over the rear yard. Three generous bedrooms are spaced along the hallway, including a master and a guest room which feature will wall ornate built in robes.
They share a stately renovated bathroom which has been tiled on floor and wall with earthy tones to compliment the massive storage vanity, recessed storage nook and crystal clear glass shower. A separate toilet room can also be found within easy reach of all rooms.
Finally, to the rear of the home lie the massive kitchen and informal living area, and a regally appointed formal dining room that comes alive with the noisy hubbub of dinner parties. The kitchen is a home cooks dream, completely renovated in a classic style and immaculately kept, with storage space a plenty, special pot drawers, a separate servery with appliance hutch, massive walk in pantry and glass front overhead display cabinet. Then there is the stainless steel stove top and separate oven- the design of which is totally unique, but totally ingenious! The door opens like a cabinet from left to right, avoiding the nuisance of downward opening doors. (Why are all ovens not made this way??!)
The renovated laundry features another massive wall of storage and modern raised laundry cabinet and basin.
Leading from the front wing of the home, a second patio and enclosed veranda sitting area can be found, the perfect outdoor hideaway for the winter months. From there you can access the fully self contained flat which features an activity room, massive bedroom with room for lounge and living, a separate toilet and powder room and a renovated bathroom with frosted glass shower and crisp white vanity.
The space is perfect for visiting relatives, boisterous teenagers or an independent boarder, still connected to the main home but with its own sense of privacy. The generous yard of the home takes on a life of its own, with lush native garden rooms, lovingly nurtured veggie patch, aviary plenty of shed and garaging space and the sights, sounds and smells of nature there to be savoured.
A little pocket of loveliness, truly the joy of life!
