Proving that no home should ever be overlooked for potential, this beautiful swan is the perfect example of how a once plain and unloved cottage can turn into something that is truly breathtaking and very much worthy of the incredible scenic location in which it sits. Having lovingly improved and tended to the house and grounds over the past two decades, the owners of the home are off on their next, more mobile adventure, and so the one in a million opportunity exists for the next couple to fall in love with it all over again.
And fall in love you will! Right from the entrance and the long drive that tours you past native bush, you are captivated by the privacy and tranquillity of the property. Tall timber and a botany book of other plant species make for a clever divider, meaning that not another roof or soul is in sight, and so in your secluded feeling hideaway, you can focus solely on the millionaires view over Oyster Harbour, the town lights and beyond.
It's a view that changes with the seasons, from glittering blue that is a backdrop to summer days in your outdoor entertaining area, to sultry greys as the storm clouds drift in on cosy winter nights sipping red in front of the fire.
If these situations sound idyllic, it's because they are- in every sense of the word this home and the land that surrounds it is about as close to perfection as you can get!
While incredible, the home is without pretentiousness- its casual double carport entrance way revealing a grand set of double doors that whisk you inside.
The home is configured on a simple premise, one simply beautiful open plan kitchen, dining and lounge area that is
undoubtedly the heart and soul of the home, and is the access point to each of the homes other rooms. Homely by nature, the space is generous and embraces the tones and textures of the country side around it, with rustic wood, modern grey tiles, down lit ceilings and extensive glazing to frame the view.
The kitchen is also simple but gorgeous, with solid jarrah benchtops, hard wood cabinets and wall shelving and a gas oven and stove. A wood fire keeps the entire space beautifully cosy, and a reverse cycle air conditioner keeping it cool. Crystal clear, chemical free water comes from the taps courtesy of the generous rain water tanks, while solar panels help to power the home.
Leading off the living areas, the master bedroom is a place that would be a pleasure to wake up in each morning, its private veranda access looking out over the water view, and its queen sized proportion allowing beautiful statement furniture to compliment the full wall jarrah robes, coffee carpet and red wine feature wall.
Next door, the second bedroom is also a queen size, with a character window shelf overlooking the garden views and tone of navy and soft blue on the walls. It adjoins a separate activity room which has its own front entrance access, wood look flooring and chunky awning windows, perfect for casual guest accommodation or a studio.
Across the other side of the living area, a character wooden door introduces the immaculately renovated bathroom with unique frosted glass and tile part divider wall to the wet area and waterfall shower head, skylight, a new toilet and a pedestal vanity with large mirror all in crisp white tones. To the naked eye, it also appears that the bathroom features a full wall of linen storage, but opening up the middle two doors, hey presto you have yourself a convenient and unobtrusive laundry as well.
Stepping outside, and the alfresco areas can entertain a cast of thousands with ease, with a huge undercover patio with gabled centre, and a lower decking section which has to be seen to believed, of course, all overlooking the multi faceted gardens and beyond to the harbour.
The property itself is like an adventure, with trails running through a lower bush section, veggie patches tucked away in well protected rabbit proof fenced areas, fruit trees of every conceivable variety and a freshly laid and retained drive. Water is no problem with three quarters of the boundary being irrigated by the several soaks for hobby stock, lush blankets of lawn and can easily be added onto which will then irrigate the entire property.
A well kitted out garden shed and a huge garage workshop with drive through doors, bench space and enough room to swing a cat.
Experience the incomparable magic of this property for yourself, and you will never want to leave.
