Nowadays, luxury is less about flash and expense, and more about substance. Here we find a design and build that's a tribute to the owner's New Zealand heritage and building experience, resulting in an artful balance of refined yet relaxed, and modern yet modest. Imagine the sublime feeling of waking up on a cold winter's morning and touching your feet down on a heated floor! And enjoy space with less maintenance - surrounded on two sides by open space, and through exceptional use of the block, this property offers so much more than you might think and is guaranteed to impress.
A luxuriously comfortable lifestyle, with low maintenance costs, has been created through careful consideration and common sense. From the multi-zoned underfloor heating that's powered by 7.7kW of solar panels and 7.2kW of batteries, to the bedrooms and living areas opening out to bullnose verandahs, plus the self-contained studio for income generation, you'll be one-step ahead before you've even had time to consider relaxing in the spa or the many wonderful options for wining, dining and adventure for which the region is world-renown.
A vintage feel is evoked through external character cladding which replicates traditional board and batten style, while inside you'll find whitewashed cathedral ceilings, stained glass windows, bush poles, tongue n groove paneling, and dado boards in a soft-neutral palate that are all wonderfully functional, timeless features.
The main residence is merely a few steps to established, highly productive and fragrant gardens, with each of the three spacious bedrooms enjoying peaceful garden views while connecting via large French doors to the verandah. Two of the rooms have direct access to beautiful bathrooms. The central lounge opens to a private courtyard on one side and an expansive park on the other, while a uniquely tactile staircase leads from the lounge to a multi-purpose loft that sits above the garage. This loft can be utilised for extra accommodation, or as a workspace/creativity hub. The country-style kitchen will inspire with a porcelain double butler's sink, ample soft close drawers, dishwasher, Smeg oven and 900mm gas cooktop.
The studio sits harmoniously with the overall look and, being located on the street-side, there's easy, practical entry and privacy to both residences. This ancillary accommodation has a sub-meter and can provide exceptional income as a long-term rental or simply utilised for guests/extended family. Essentially a beautiful small home also with bullnose verandahs, there is a generous, light-filled kitchen/living/dining area with entry via a triple stacking sliding door; a separate bedroom with French doors; and a large bathroom/laundry.
Positioned next to a reserve, the property has only one neighbouring side and is also close to other nearby parks and extensive bushland walk/cycle trails along the river.
