Sophisticated and stately in both presentation and performance, this classic country residence offers a new benchmark in fine semi-rural family living.
The home is designed to take full advantage of its idyllic climate and setting. The customised enclosed alfresco entertaining area extending to the north is one of many exceptional spaces. Glass louvres top banks of double and triple sliding glass doors that pull right back to achieve a truly seamless, indoor/outdoor experience.
A wide sandstone path wraps around the tiled alfresco area and courtyard lawn extending to surround the in-ground pool beyond, for a private summer oasis. An adjacent pool house can be set up to suit your circumstances. Older children living at home will love the secluded space, or for fitness fans, make it your own gym, complete with a bathroom and split system air conditioner.
For additional comfort in the alfresco area, a central double fronted fireplace within a stacked stone surround provides warmth and wonderful ambience in winter. Sets of stacking doors each side can seal the space for more efficient, contained heating.
The open plan kitchen and living area on the opposite side is a light filled, relaxed space on polished spotted gum floorboards that continue through most of the shared internal spaces.
An additional combustion wood fire provides another source of heat, strategically placed near the junction of the large rumpus room, central hall and kitchen for maximum reach. Alternatively, two separate air conditioning units provide reverse cycle, zoned, ducted climate control around the entire home.
A four metre long stone topped island bench in the kitchen provides plenty of preparation and serving space. Between neat waterfall edges at both ends, a breakfast bar along one side can seat up to ten or more and is a magnet for informal congregations.
Make the most of the top of the range stainless steel appliances such as the 900mm Ariston gas cooktop or built-in Smeg microwave. Impress your coffee loving friends with a freshly ground brew from the recessed Ariston coffee bar.
The particularly well planned home caters for a fluid, modern way of living. An excellent relationship between the versatile social spaces makes for effortless entertaining and easy going family living.
Host large summer barbecues around the pool, kids birthday parties in the rumpus room, intimate dinner parties in the formal lounge/dining room and everything else in between. These various entertaining spaces are directly accessible from the central kitchen for easy catering.
The central hall can be closed off just beyond the reception foyer toward the bedroom wing of the home for extra privacy.
Three queen sized bedrooms all have built-in cupboards, ceiling fans, soft carpet floors and data/phone points. A generous guest bedroom with private ensuite is almost as impressive as the king sized master bedroom at the very end of the hall. A large walk-in wardrobe is next to a deluxe ensuite with a floating granite topped double vanity and frameless walk-in shower with rain soaking showerhead.
The main bathroom features equally impressive finishes and more, such as the free standing bath with waterfall spout. Although this home was completed approximately a decade ago, intelligently arranged quality finishes never go out of style.
The already expansive open floor plan is exaggerated by soaring 3.4 metre high ceilings. Large windows dominate the bagged brick exterior framing picturesque, long landscape scenes in almost every direction. Like the open countryside beyond, the feeling of limitless space successfully translates within.
A two metre wide sandstone paved verandah wraps almost entirely around the home in the style of traditional country homesteads. Enjoy unobstructed views over the surrounding park-like grounds where lawns dotted with mature trees unfold around a large pond.
A formal tree lined concrete driveway sweeps around to the turning circle with space for visitors to park in front of the home, set back on the property. Neighbours and the road are screened by stands of leafy trees enhancing privacy and the property is securely fenced along all boundaries keeping small children or pets from wandering too far.
Butterwick is a welcoming rural community with the friendly Woodville general store/caf and local Woodville primary school just a short drive. Its about a 15 minute drive to Maitlands CBD for a full range of services and selection of schools, plus several school bus routes conveniently pass the property.
The understated elegance of this prestigious residence ensures timeless appeal while the quality of construction ensures its longevity. On the market for the very first time, enjoy a five star leisurely lifestyle the whole family will love.
