This captivating property is all about character, comfort and a connection to nature - a truly special home set within the most spectacular garden estate that's played host to charity open gardens and long family afternoons by the private lake.
A property that must be seen firsthand to truly appreciate what is on offer. Spread out over approximately 4 acres, the lake is certainly the centrepiece and will immediately draw your attention. In addition to the wonderful house and gardens, there is effectively a "spare" block on the Western side which is substantial and has its own access. All of this, plus it's just a short walk down Griffiths Street to the beach!
On arrival, the home's solid brick construction reveals an interior of high ceilings, slate floors and solid jarrah features which reflect a timeless quality. Welcoming and generous spaces have been thoughtfully integrated into the floorplan - designed for both contemplation and connection.
The country-style kitchen with timber cabinetry, walk-in pantry and views to the gardens has an easy flow to the dining area and a striking architectural alfresco.
A timber-topped bar is connected to a delightful sunroom with large windows that frame the lake views. Enjoy your morning coffee in the sunshine, spend the afternoon with a good book in your favourite chair, and always have a front-row seat to the changing seasons outside. The main living area also enjoys a sunny aspect and the warmth of a slow combustion wood fire, while a sunken lounge and study/ dining area at the front of the home provide extra space to unwind or work in peace. The home is airconditioned throughout.
The master suite is tucked away with a private ensuite and spacious walk-in dressing room, while three additional good sized bedrooms share a spacious, light-filled family bathroom that is inviting and relaxing.
Outside, the gardens truly shine. Verdant lawns and mature trees wrap around the lake, with a separate space set aside for veggie beds and fruit trees. A large gazebo has been the scene of weddings and family gatherings and adds charm and practicality to the setting.
Other facilities include a separate garage and workshop - ideal for hobbyists or easily transformed into a studio or granny flat (STCA), an outdoor accessible bathroom, potting shed and so much more.
Perfectly positioned, this home offers a fantastic lifestyle opportunity. Take the short 600m stroll to the beach access off Griffiths Street, or a 5 minute drive to Middleton Beach for the cafes, bars and restaurants. The Emu Point boat ramp, tennis and lawn bowls club is just 3 minutes away to help you maintain a social and active lifestyle.
