Tucked away down a private road bordering the national Park this bespoke beauty is set amongst pretty easy care gardens and lush lawn areas. Wide verandahs wrap three sides of the residence providing a choice of spots in which to relax and enjoy the pretty views to the garden and Greenmount National Park beyond.
Arched timber church-style doors herald the entrance to the home and give a hint to the rustic beauty that lies within. The doorway makes way to a stunning foyer with a soaring void with decorative ceiling rose. The clever use of recycled brick and Jarrah timber accents here lends a cosy warmth and an air of historical rustic charm to the residence which belies its 1989 construction.
The accommodation in the home is divided over two levels with two bedrooms and an office on the lower level and a further two sumptuous bedrooms (currently being used as B&B accommodation) on the upper floor. The two bedrooms on the lower floor are serviced by a massive family bathroom with lovely timber accents and have access to a large second living area on the lowest level of the home. The laundry, which is also on this level, has the handy addition of a shower facility and a separate toilet. The two bedrooms on the upper floor are over-sized with one enjoying the use of a large balcony which overlooks the swimming pool and National park. These bedrooms share the use of a central bathroom with separate toilet and either could be utilised as a master bedroom suite if desired.
The central living area consists of a large kitchen which overlooks a cosy dining and family area. Huge timber beams traverse this impressive space and complement the rustic lodge-like kitchen and Jarrah timber finishes. The kitchen itself consists of two pantries, a 900mm range cooker and plenty of cupboards for storage. A split system air conditioner ensures comfort during the warm summer months, whilst the slow combustion wood fire beckons the whole family to congregate when winter arrives.
This residence is a home with an air of history, a touch of whimsy and a host of possibilities. Make your way up the stairs from the lower level living area to find a massive roof void which can easily be converted to create further bedrooms, a luxurious master suite and ensuite bathroom or further living space if desired. The choice is yours!!
Wander outside and enjoy the pretty and low maintenance gardens. A salt water pool at the foot of the garden will keep everyone cool in the summer whilst the pergola with adjacent barbecue area will make summer entertaining a pleasure. A gate from the rear yard provides access out to the Greenmount National Park and will delight those that love to hike or explore our beautiful natural bush.
A driveway alongside the home provides access to the single garage and there is plenty of room to add further garaging should it be required. There is also a quaint garden shed which has been built in keeping with the style of the main residence and would make a sweet studio if converted (STCA) and even a chook pen for those catering for their feathered friends.
Imbued with charm and captivating bespoke design, this is a residence which offers a host of options and character aplenty.
