This beautiful property is the epitome of style and practicality. Ideally located, offering privacy within its mature gardens, this home has huge northerly views to the Nightcap Ranges, but is within easy walking distance to Lismore's lively CBD, schools, university, cultural centres and sports facilities. Lismore Airport is a 5 minute drive.
Beyond the attractive Federation façade, displaying its inherent character and charm, is a comprehensive and extremely successful architectural transformation creating a serene, confident, and well considered sanctuary.
The spacious interiors, beautifully appointed, provide a perfect balance of living and entertaining areas with a coherent theme throughout with emphasis on natural light and spatial awareness. Excellent utilisation of space allows for a variety of uses including separate generous entry, separate living/dining and large contemporary kitchen which opens to a stone paved terrace as well as to a paved garden room at the rear.
Alfresco and indoor areas integrate with the interior living spaces.
The studio, designed by Federal architect Julie Lipsett for the current owners and Master built, is both a beautiful haven and has been skilfully engineered. Designed to complement the external architectural features of the residence, it is entered via a magnificent hand built Blackbutt staircase. The studio includes Tallowwood flooring throughout, high raked ceiling and French doors opening onto a verandah with Blackbutt decking and long views from the northerly mountains to the Great Dividing Range.
Off street parking, a secure double garage, energy efficient electrical wall heating, working original fireplaces, recently renovated beautifully appointed bathrooms and laundry with renewed cabinetry ensure practicality and convenience.
The stunning landscaping and gardens include a large formal front fountain and rear water feature. The garden can be seen from every room, making it an absolute natural oasis.
Whilst the front garden includes gardenias wrapped around its north facing veranda, there is also a large tiled indoor/outdoor area at the rear of the residence which opens to its rear terraces. Here plantings include not only well tended citrus, but many local species of plants, selected for their flowers to attract birds, bees and butterflies.
Located in a discreet and privileged position, this residence offers the feeling of privacy, serenity, space and of nature, without the work required of acres of land.
Cafes, restaurants, Olympic pool, airport, schools, hospitals, galleries, performing arts, music conservatorium and university all within 5 minutes.
