Reminiscent of a Southern Highlands homestead, this grand scale full brick single level family home has been masterfully revived, renovated and extended to connect the aspirational interiors to the 930sqm landscaped block. Holding a picturesque frontage defined by its quintessential c1890s bullnose veranda, the property is offered for sale for only a second time in its rich 130-year history.
Sustainably recreated by Roth Architecture, reclaimed timber and environmentally sensitive materials have been utilised throughout resulting in an authentic yet considered feel. Orientated to perfection, north eastern sun streams into a series of sophisticated living spaces through four sets of bi-fold doors opening out to the pool area. Maintaining an uninterrupted line of sight to the swimming pool from the kitchen and all interconnecting living spaces, the faultlessly executed layout is ideal for entertaining and to watch children play. Symmetrical in its proportions, a wide central hallway travels past the bedrooms, formal lounge, winter garden and versatile executive home office to arrive at the expansive everyday living spaces.
Showcasing superior craftsmanship, custom joinery features within the welcoming family room and within all bedrooms. The DeGabriele hand painted kitchen is topped in luxurious Carrara marble and has been fitted with two Smeg ovens, a Smeg microwave, an inset Smeg gas cooktop and two Bosch dishwashers. Double sided joinery allows for the integration of a Vintec wine fridge and for additional storage alongside the dining room.
Taking inspiration from resort life, the informal poolside area rests underneath a soaring plantation style panelled ceiling and adjoins the Travertine paved dining patio. Travertine outlines the swimming pool and spa with spotted gum lining all verandas and decking. Skilfully landscaped to create a sanctuary for the soul, mature Magnolias create a leafy privacy and harmoniously rest alongside Camelias and a spectacular Jacaranda tree. Hedging borders the sprawling level lawns, perfect for kids of all ages and stages.
