This delightful home combines the charms of yesterday with the modern conveniences of today, the ruggedness of the soul of Australia with the elegance of our English origins, and all in a way that leaves you warmed to the bone. Its gently sloping block makes way for terracing and limestone retaining which are then filled with the vibrant streaks of colour from decorative grasses.
To enter the home, you step up a small series of steps into a quaint entry deck, itself a position to soak up the morning sun. Inside beyond the decorative stained glass and screen doors, the hallway leads you into the heart of the home, introducing various rooms as it goes.
First on offer is the formal lounge room, a cosy, quiet and serene place to get stuck into a good book or your favourite movie in the perfect temperature, thanks to the centrepiece wood fire and mantle, or the reverse cycle air conditioning. Each of the antique look windows in the home are adorned by rich toned timber venetians, overlayed with intricate lace for a vintage touch.
Next comes the large master bedroom where full wall robes reduce any clutter and neutral tones compliment your choice of furnishing style. A little touch of luxury comes next in the downstairs bathroom, directly beside the main bedroom to act as a lovely semi ensuite. A two person spa bath sits in one corner. Adjacent is a fully enclosed glass shower, a character wood and granite look vanity, chunky wooden mirror and partially separated toilet, all amongst gorgeous emerald tiles.
An unexpected addition to the front section of the home is the massive walk in storage closet in which you could place a whole lifetimes worth of linen, treasures items and titbits with ease.
In the rear section of the home, the kitchen is revealed in all of its country styled glory! Wooden cabinetry surrounds the generous space with both under bench and overhead storage, a pull down appliance nook and a double sized pigeon pair fridge nook. For cooking wholesome family meals there is a wall mounted oven, separate grill and a bench top gas stove to be found. Just beside the kitchen is a small servery area which could be used for the heirloom buffet cabinet or a smaller dining table.
Continue through to the duo of dining areas, both inside and out, and both equally impressive. First, is the indoor option, with polished boards and an outlook over the back yard.
Then, you exit via double French doors to the ultimate of al fresco entertaining areas, a fully enclosed deck with patio blinds and bamboo, and featuring two gas bayonets for powering your outdoor kitchen and gas heating. One could imagine spending many evenings out here, watching a game of footy or with the tunes flowing through the space, or simply enjoying breakfast surrounded by the trickle of the built in water fountain and fern gardens.
There are two more bedrooms in the home, one, a single with tapered ceilings in the downstairs area, and the other, a king sized guest bedroom which can be found at the top of the wooden staircase. It features its own ensuite, with recessed glass shower, toilet and modern vanity.
Completing the upstairs is a second living area, the perfect family or playroom, and just as good as a guest quarters for their own privacy if you are playing host.
The back yard is neat as a pin, with flourishing lawn and simple gardens sitting beside the massive extra height 12×5 powered garage and workshop, a “man cave”, if you will.
Easily accessed via the paved driveway and side gate- it’s a paradise for those who love to tinker.
Clad with corrugated iron for contemporary appeal, and in an elevated position just moments from town, this home really pulls on your heartstrings.
