Two beautifully presented homes are set at the end of a sealed driveway and orientated for stunning views to the north. The main home is a 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom brick and tile Stannard home with stairs leading to a verandah and the front door. A tiled entry leads to the home’s formal entertaining areas – a carpeted lounge room with a fireplace and a bay window with a window seat, and a light-filled dining room with dual aspect glazing.
A principal suite opens across one end of the plan. A large, carpeted bedroom with stairs up to an ensuite with a corner spa, a wall of mirror-fronted built-in robes, a vanity, and a separate WC deliver an expansive parents’ retreat, an oasis of calm and pampering with the spa offering views across the pool and the privacy created by arranging this room away from the open-plan living zones and junior wing.
At the heart of the home’s family-friendly design is a large, welcoming open-plan kitchen, family room and meals area. Orientated to take every advantage of the stunning location, this central family hub uses warm-toned timber cabinetry, a central island, a walk-in pantry and an electric oven, a 5-burner gas hob and an integrated dishwasher to fashion a timeless, practical kitchen – a cooks’ delight. A delightful meals area appears to hover in the landscape thanks to windows on three sides, while the timber-floored family room offers a warm embrace with its slow-combustion fire, reverse-cycle air-conditioning and direct access to the front verandah.
More living and entertaining space is provided by a spectacular games/activity room with a pitched ceiling, exposed beams, dual aspect glazing, a built-in bar and a bathroom. This fantastic bonus space with multiple uses looks onto a large brick-paved patio and an east-facing conservatory. In turn, the conservatory looks onto an established garden outlined by a picket fence and honeysuckle-strewn wrought iron gates. This sunny easterly aspect makes for an idyllic breakfast spot while offering a transitional space between the garage and the main house.
Three generously proportioned bedrooms – each with carpet, built-in robes and a built-in desk – and a fully tiled family bathroom extend across the eastern end of the plan.
The second home is as impeccably presented as the primary residence. It consists of an open-plan kitchen meals area and a semi-formal family room, boasting a northerly aspect and two bedrooms at either end of a central hallway with a family bathroom and laundry in between.
Ceiling fans, reverse cycle air conditioning, a well-appointed kitchen and a limited palette of soft greys and white produce ancillary accommodation with style. A north-facing front verandah and patio provide outdoor entertaining space with views across paddocks to trees lining the Heritage Trail, and a carport provides shelter for one car.
The grounds and infrastructure are as impressive as the homes. Sheds, a workshop with 3-phase power and a tack room, paddocks with water and an arena will delight those looking for a horse-centred lifestyle. But the star of this show is an expansive outdoor living and entertaining zone that opens out across the western end of the main house. A fantastic outdoor dining pavilion takes pride of place. Its shady, garden-edged shelter has space for a 10-seat table, a barbecue and a lounge area. A bar at one end opens onto a deck at the north-east corner. The play and entertaining space continues to a below-ground pool surrounded by brick paving and two pitched roof gazebos and edged with a row of blossom trees and clipped evergreens.
To find a property of this calibre in this location is a rarity; add to this a second home, extensive infrastructure and a previous pre-approval (expired) to subdivide - and rare begins to look miraculous.
