Nestled within a private, leafy Lane in a highly sought-after South Leura pocket, this enchanting home inspired by a French orangery was built in 1997 and has been architecturally designed to seamlessly harmonizes with its natural surroundings, offering tranquillity and breath-taking garden and bush views. The residence exudes warmth and a strong connection to the outdoors, thanks to its expansive steel-framed windows and French doors that invite nature into the heart of the home.
Complementing the main residence, the substantial studio located above the garage has it's own private access, a kitchenette, bathroom, plus recycled floorboards and a striking arched window which add charm. This flexible space is ideal as a self-contained guest retreat, creative studio, or home office.
The living room is bathed in natural light during the day and transforms into a cosy haven at night. French doors open onto a charming Juliet balcony, while ambient wall sconces and a French Cheminee Chazelles fireplace create the perfect atmosphere for relaxing evenings. Recycled Kaori pine floorboards and bespoke floor-to-ceiling cabinetry offer both character and function, subtly dividing the space from the kitchen and dining room, allowing for both connection and separation. The recently updated kitchen is a chef's dream, featuring solid surface benchtops, custom cabinetry that stretches to the ceiling, with ample storage space, a walk-in pantry, and high-end Neff appliances enhance the cooking experience, while the adjoining dining room is ideal for intimate gatherings.
Upstairs, five generously sized bedrooms bask in natural sunlight, including a master suite with a walk-in robe and ensuite. A second bathroom on this level serves the additional bedrooms, ensuring comfort and convenience for family and guests alike.
The outdoor spaces are equally captivating, with gardens brimming with fruit trees, including apples, pears, Kumquats and figs. A stunning wisteria and rose banksia adorn the side of the home, while field daisies add a sprinkle of charm to the grass. A variety of Birch trees provide a picturesque setting for outdoor dining, making this property an ideal retreat for nature lovers seeking elegance and tranquillity.
