Hidden at the end of a leafy cul de sac, just a short stroll from the iconic MONA gallery, restaurant and winery, sits a private oasis known as 14 Lorraine Crescent, or as many who have visited have called it, “Sweet Lorraine”.
From the street the house is sheltered by a wall of mature trees that make this a very private home. Venture up the driveway and the house reveals itself with a fabulous front balcony from which to take in the views. And what a balcony – it wraps around the front of the house and is large enough to take an outdoor dining table, plus extra seating and pot plants.
As you enter the house you are welcomed into a foyer area that opens into the main living area. This “L” shaped living / dining room has sliding glass doors that lead onto the front balcony making it a great entertaining space. There is also a family room at the back of the house that incorporates the modern galley style kitchen – making this a great space for the family to get together. There is a heat pump to ensure comfort all year round.
Step outside the backdoor off the family room and you enter another world – a world of serenity and peace – a haven of tranquillity in which to relax, contemplate and entertain close friends. The back yard has been landscaped in a Japanese style with waterfalls, ponds, rock pools and a little connecting bridge. You can enjoy this lovely garden from the huge outdoor entertaining and BBQ area – what a special space.
Inside there are three bedrooms upstairs – all with built in robes and all a great size, plus a renovated family bathroom and a separate laundry. The fourth bedroom is downstairs and is best described as a bedroom suite, with an en suite, walk in robe and room for a lounge suite too! This would make the perfect teenage retreat, or visitor accommodation. The area is heated / cooled by a heat pump.
Also downstairs is a massive workshop area, perfect for that home gym, PLUS a two car garage – more space than any family could possibly need!
All this is set on a huge 1487
