The views from this stylish 3br 3 bathroom property will take your breath away. Designed by its owners 35 years ago the house is site-specific, nestled into the side of the hill with numerous vantage spots from which to sit and enjoy the beautiful north facing views all year, beneath the wide wrap-around verandah. With exposed brick feature walls and dramatic bay windows inset with window seats, the house style and flow. It is cool and airy with high ceilings and glass doors that open onto the verandah from two of the three bedrooms and all entertaining rooms. Wonderfully private, it also offers great versatility with a separate studio ideal for a teenager’s retreat, guest accommodation or a home office. Freshly painted inside and out, it’s ready for you to move straight in and enjoy.
The approach to the property is through a remote controlled solar powered gate, sweeping up through park-like grounds to a good size level parking area shaded by plants and trees. The driveway leads to a double garage and workshop, then continues on up to the separate studio situated beyond the main house. Stillness and the sense of space is profound, with abundant birdlife and panoramic views to the horizon.
The front door opens into a spacious tiled hallway, with the master suite ahead with large picture windows and glass doors leading out to a lovely private area perfect for breakfast or a morning coffee. The suite includes a sizeable en-suite shower room and spacious dressing room that could also be used as a study or nursery.
A sitting area leads into a generously proportioned open dining room with adjoining kitchen. Chefs will love the original kitchen with its Rodan gas cook top, integral bain marie, St George electric oven and grill and excellent storage space including a walk in pantry room.
Off the kitchen is a spacious utility room with deep laundry trough, extensive cupboards and benchtops, double linen press, direct access to outside, and a WC with shower, perfect for coming in from the garden.
Beyond the kitchen is the formal living room, with welcoming inbuilt wood burner and a brick hearth that continues around to the bay window, creating more window seats from which to enjoy those superb 180-degree views. Two further double bedrooms overlook the gardens, one with BIRs and verandah access to a level lawn area. A family bathroom with stunning vintage tiles has an inlaid mirror and retro style shower over the bath.
Accessible from the verandah, a large timber-lined recreation room with two sets of double doors would work well as an office, studio or a further garage.
Further up the driveway, a large studio enjoys commanding views from its higher elevation, with a level parking area in front and room to extend. Brick built, with an open pitch roof, it is currently laid out as two rooms, however this versatile space could be turned into a B&B (STCA), workshop or home business.
The house benefits from being on town water, has ducted heating, AC, LPG gas, secure fencing, a dam plus a levelled area ideal for a manège.
