This is truly one of a kind… an amazing and comprehensive renovation of the original Basket Range Uniting Church. The first Basket Range sandstones were laid in 1880, on the hilltop with views across to Marble Hill. Over the past few years the owners have passionately renovated and extended throughout the original building, which is saturated with character and charm. The master and second bedroom sit in the heart of the church, with the first hint of extension being the cast iron & redwood spiral staircase. This leads to the loft conversion within the pitched roof, which is open to natural light and offers a retreat, study or possible third bedroom. The door from the master suite features handmade glass paneling and walking down solid bluestone steps leads into the huge first section of the new building, with Baltic Pine floors under trapeze lighting and fans, on the stained Pine ceiling. Lovingly restored by hand is the original sandstone church wall, a feature of the main room opposite the full length Quilla hardwood and glass glass bi-fold doors and corner fireplace, sitting proudly on a solid bluestone plinth. The rear of the room opens to the entertainers’ island Red Gum kitchen, with a handmade Ilve 8 hob cook top, burnished brass tap ware and copper range hood. More handmade glass features here, bringing additional natural light. The kitchen too shares Quilla hardwood full length glass doors, which open to the huge, gas heated oiled hardwood decking and lawns, where you can relax and play in all seasons. The utility room and large bathroom sit in the rear of the original building and also feature exposed sandstone masonry and natural light. Full length cupboards complete the utility area, which exits to the rear of the building, and a secluded quiet spot for quietly relaxing, basking in the afternoon sun. The more technical and future minded will appreciate that this courtyard sits on a new slab, recently completed to accommodate a 2 storey addition to the home in the years to come. All storm water drainage and services are complete and in place, and council approval has been given for additional accommodation; plans for which are available to view, if desired.

Additional feature benefits:

* Reverse cycle inverter air conditioning in main rooms
* Miele appliances
* Remote control lighting
* Quiet and secluded hilltop setting
