The Habit House estate is a private residence of distinction that is located in the very heart of Burradoo. This grand property is set on over an acre of beautifully established gardens. There are two separate homes on the title and both have been fully restored to an extremely high standard. The rooms are bright, light and have fabulous proportions along with attractive vistas. The cool climate low maintenance grounds allow for rest and relaxation as well as providing ample space for recreational activities.
Habit House and Blossom Cottage were originally part of the historic 'Kerever Park' estate. This Grand Estate was built for Charles Fairfax in the 1880's. Now it is extremely rare to find two homes on one title, in such a prestigious corner location, with privacy and seclusion, separate street access along with this significant heritage value.
The main house, 'Habit House', is completely north-facing. This has been designed to take advantage of the winter sunshine. The picture windows provide spectacular views from each room through the floor to the ceiling windows from the majority of the rooms, offering vistas of the superb landscaping and tranquil green lawn over the front garden. Viridian Smart Glass has been used throughout to create energy efficient spaces along with high tech insulation to provide excellent thermal properties (keeping the heat out in summer and the warmth in during winter).
The interior of Habitat House is spacious and accommodating. A central hallway leads to an open plan kitchen, large dining room, living room, laundry (with separate WC), a generous family bathroom, four extra-large bedrooms (two with ensuite and underfloor heating), a sunny spacious study and a formal sitting room / library. The open plan kitchen / dining room opens out on to a large under cover Travertine terrace. Also opening out onto the terrace is a Peloton Studio / gym.
Every detail has been carefully considered. Subtle neutral tones with slate-coloured accents, plush carpeted bedrooms, movement-activated lighting in some areas, quality cabinetry and carpentry and masses of storage are just some of the features of this home.
Blossom Cottage is a considerable asset to the estate. It is a sweet country north facing cottage hidden within the grounds of the property yet offers a seperate street frontage. It is surprisingly spacious and the three bedrooms are light filled and the two bathrooms (one ensuite) are beautifully renovated to the modern standards demanded today. Like Habit House it boasts beautiful bird song, fabulous flora and fauna along with sensational star gazing on clear night skies, particularly enjoyed from the north west facing sun deck.
Comfort and convenience can be provided all year round with a split system air conditioner, underfloor heating in both bathrooms and a modern kitchen with induction stove top and Caesarstone island and bench tops. This is the best of country life with all the convenience of modern living.
This quaint cottage can accommodate up to six people and the current bedroom configuration is 1 x Master Queen Ensuite, 1 x Double with shared bathroom and 1 x Murphy Wall Mounted Double Bed with shared bathroom. The potential for a lucrative income stream is apparent (STCA) with separate security gate entries and double garaging. It is a perfect situation for semi-independent in-laws, short term, long term rentals or even a large office environment.
Whether inside the homes or outside in the gardens, these houses offer beauty, comfort, privacy and space. These properties are close to bike and walking tracks, the Wingcarribee River and nature reserve, especially good for the kids to ride or walk to Oxley College without crossing a main road. The local schools are recognised and well regarded for their educational standards and extra curricular activities.
