The moment you set eyes on this expansive and beautiful home you will be lost for words. With a passion for federation architecture, the current owners of this home have designed their abode with a nod to the grand houses of a bygone era, beautifully marrying the period detail and scale of yesteryear with the comforts and design features integral to a modern lifestyle. Whilst the size is impressive, what is most appealing about this home is the considerable thought that has gone into its design and the meticulous attention to detail given to its construction. The home has been oriented to maximise solar gain perfect for the cooler climate we live in, has excellent cross ventilation, insulation in all available spaces and low-e glass fitted into the custom cedar framed windows and doors.

The owners have been careful to source sympathetic materials that create a sense of warmth not often achieved in a large home. Cast iron lace, leadlight doors, timber fretwork, stained glass, period lighting and hardware combine to create a beautiful picture. However, and most importantly, is the functionality this home provides, particularly for families. There are 5 large bedrooms, each with floor to ceiling (10ft/3m) BIR’s plus a WIR and double shower head ensuite in the master bedroom. The spacious designer kitchen from ‘Wonderful Kitchens’ in Willoughby has carved feature detailing and is well equipped with Ilve gas cooktop and self cleaning electric oven, thick 40mm stone benchtops and a ‘huuuge’ walk-in pantry with dishwasher. The main bathroom allows for busy families with a separate toilet, wet area and powder room with stunning carved marble topped double vanity. There is a large, 21 jet spa in the marble tiled wet room, and an expansive walk in shower with huge rainhead. (water saving of course) The bedrooms, rumpus and lounge room are all carpeted and the remainder of the house has beautifully polished hardwood flooring.

The multiple living areas are also generous with a very large formal lounge, a dining room which fits a 3.5m, 14 seat table, a big rumpus/study/or 6th bedroom off the kitchen and a large family room which flows seamlessly out through the two sets of 5.5m cedar stacking doors onto the back deck. The lounge and rumpus also open onto the back deck via French doors. An impressive pergola, crafted from chunky reclaimed timber covers the back deck, draped in white and purple flowering wisteria. The lovely gardens are well laid out and established, featuring a great collection of large, beautiful seasonal flowering trees and shrubs. The vegie patch, orchard and chicken run are arranged around a custom built cedar glasshouse and shed which has its own small water tank. The house itself is serviced by town water plus a 55,000L tank, and the oversized triple garage can be accessed via the large laundry.

The list goes on! This unique home offers its new owner a lifestyle and quality of life which can’t be beat.
