Full of old-world charm but packed with modern conveniences, this home will impress the most discerning of families. 9ft ceilings throughout, combined with colonial picture windows, create a sense of spaciousness and ensure views of the stately gardens from all living areas.
Electric remote-controlled gates ensure privacy and security, while lush gardens surround the sweeping driveway. Wide verandahs surround the home, providing protection from the elements. The grand entry foyer sets the elegant ambiance of the home with wide halls and parquetry flooring.
The formal lounge and dining feature picture rails, quality carpet and views overlooking the saltwater pool. The traditional eat-in country kitchen is enormous, with quality European appliances to satisfy the fussiest of chefs. The country charm is maintained with timber cabinetry, Caesarstone benchtops and a walk-in pantry, while modern-day conveniences such as the extra-wide Ilve electric oven, room for a double fridge and reverse osmosis water filter ensure effortless entertaining for the largest of gatherings. The adjoining open-plan family room features ornate cornices and a decorative ceiling rose, while the combustion stove continues the old-world appeal of this home. It is also wired for surround-sound, another bonus when entertaining, as are the outdoor speakers.
The bedrooms are separated from the living areas by a passageway lined with linen cupboards. There are 4 double sized bedrooms, all with large built-in wardrobes and windows overlooking the beautiful gardens. A federation style bathroom, featuring a timber vanity, is also in this section of the home. The large master bedroom suite is in a separate wing, providing total privacy. A huge walk-in robe, complete with dressing room, and spacious federation-style ensuite ensure total comfort. A separate study with built-in office storage is also in this wing, while elegant drapery/fitted blinds feature throughout.
The wide verandahs, cross ventilation and insulated ceilings ensure year-round comfort. A solar water system ensures an economical, environmentally friendly supply of hot water. A laundry and powder-room, both with generous additional built-in storage, are situated across from the 4 car garage. The garage (12m x 8m) has been separated into two 2 car garages, with the interior of one side fully lined plus power and telephone line installed, making it suitable for a home office. The garage is fitted with workbench storage, ideal for the home handyman or tradesman and makes this property perfect for a work-from-home situation if desired.
The grounds are immaculate, with dense perimeter plantings providing total privacy and creating a relaxing sanctuary to escape day to day life. Mature trees and plenty of lawn space at the rear of the property maintain the country homestead' ambiance. The fully fenced saltwater pool has been landscaped with a tropical theme, while behind the pool, a densely planted area provides a rainforest-canopied walk, ideal for taking time out to reflect and relax. Wide verandahs provide plenty of shelter from the elements, however, a 5mtr swinging cantilever umbrella provides additional shelter and swings out to provide sun protection over the pool when necessary. An enchanting chicken coop and well-stocked kitchen garden, planted with herbs and vegetables, complete the country estate setting. The avid gardener will delight in the potter's bench with outdoor sink, plumbed to both mains water supply and the 5,000ltr rainwater tank, while a garden shed provides handy extra storage.
Close to all amenities yet set in peaceful surroundings, escape the hustle and bustle of busy life without sacrificing convenience. Nestled on approximately 1.5 acres amongst other prestige homes in Ferntree Park Estate, this appealing property is a must to inspect.
