Built in 1982 and designed by a local architect as his own family home, this property is strikingly stunning, bursting with features and yet perfectly practical for family living all rolled in to one show stopping property.
Spread over two levels, there is plenty of room for privacy and separation, as well as endless areas to gather together.
Stepping through the hand-crafted front door you soon appreciate that 75 Old Burnies Road is not your ordinary home. The foyer is laden with native timbers including Myrtle, Huon Pine and Sassafras and takes you through to the open-plan and recently renovated kitchen complete with Smeg double oven, induction cooktop, separate gas side burner, range hood, sleek matte black cabinetry, stainless benchtops and a walk-in pantry. The kitchen and dining areas are drenched in all-day sun via the surrounding floor to ceiling doors and windows that frame the picturesque scenery that surrounds the entire home. This area also provides access out to the adjoining deck, one of the many delightful spaces to entertain family and friends.
The upstairs living area is warm and inviting with an exposed brick feature wall and an open fireplace. Beautiful timber beams, trusses, ceilings and floors are throughout, and the ducted gas heating will keep everyone comfortable in the cooler months. A light-filled hallway leads to three very generous bedrooms, all with built-in wardrobes. The large master bedroom enjoys lovely views, direct access to the two-way bathroom and deck.
Downstairs offers a second living area or rumpus room with an adjoining sunroom and wood heater. The fourth bedroom on this level offers the perfect teenager's retreat with an office and a second bathroom. For added opulence there is also an impressive sauna and generous wine cellar with bar.
Stepping outside, the timber decking and walkways wind throughout the property taking you on a journey through native plants and trees, landscaped gardens, decks and grassy BBQ areas and on to a heated and partially covered pool, plus a fenced, full-size tennis court giving you the feeling that you are visiting a retreat rather than in your very own back yard.
The driveway is lined with established Birch and Maple trees, there is an automated garage and workshop with internal access and plenty of guest parking. There's a dam and a number of out buildings and shelters, Margate Rivulet runs straight through the property and there's a cleared area, perhaps for horses or livestock, with separate access from Van Morey Road.
75 Old Bernies Road is one of a kind, a property that provides a lifestyle others will truly be envious of and yet situated just a 5 minute drive from the township of Margate, 15 minutes to Kingston CBD or 25 Minutes to the Hobart CBD.
