"THE HACIENDA"
Reminiscent of Mediterranean holidays in Provence and Spain, the current owner fell in love with this beautiful home at first sight…Now it's time to get your maracas shaking!
Located in one of the best cul de sacs in Iluka, just one street back from the beach, Iluka Foreshore Park and walking distance to the Iluka Plaza, this enchanting, uniquely designed home blends elements of drama, whimsy and romance. An enticing Mediterranean hacienda filled with love, joy and captivating architectural details...
Beginning with the charming exterior, the classic low pitched roof line with terracotta tiles are not only aesthetically magnificent, being a natural, clay-fired product they are practical too! Used since Roman times for excellent thermal qualities to withstand fierce Mediterranean summers and cool winter nights.
The look is unmistakably French/Spanish Provincial inspired; with herringbone recycled brick paved drive and curved path to the front door, the cream render, dusty-blue painted shutters, arched picture windows and ‘ancient’ rustic hard wood double front door embellished with heavy cast iron bars and knockers! The landscaped garden combines lush lawn with limestone garden beds planted with agapanthus, olive trees, iris, succulents, frangipani and a profusion of scented mauve petunias.
Inside, discover the Spanish lounge with its brilliant white walls, black chandelier, rustic oak hybrid vinyl flooring, 34 course ceilings and illuminated archways accessing the master suite and office or fifth bedroom.
The master suite is huge with plantation shutters, French doors and a six meter walk in robe accessed by two doors (if you love clothes you know). The ensuite is replete with Italian tiffany blue tiles, metallic silver brushed walls, double vanity, huge corner bath (room for two), large shower and separate powder room/wc with a bidet of course!
An expansive office or the fifth bedroom has double glazed French doors with ocean glimpses and steps down to access the courtyard terrace.
Double wood doors give way to a magnificent main living area; the French room. This vast space is the home's pièce de résistance with soaring, 50 course ceilings and at one end, a magnificent French Provincial six foot high stone fireplace surround….the focal point for family gatherings. This is where, every Christmas the children, have hung their stockings from the mantelpiece (even as adults)! And is the favourite spot for group photos with family and friends.
Being the focal point of the home, it’s here that long table family dinners and lounging in front of the telly on cosy winter nights in front of the fire are de rigueur...and on balmy summer evenings, the two sets of French doors are thrown open to spill out onto the Loggia style terrace and the sounds of the ocean beyond.
The large kitchen, at the other end of this vast room is designed for cooking! With classic, simple white cabinets, soft closing drawers, glass splash back and wide terrazzo stone bench tops, a 900mm Smeg oven and range hood take central position, while the large central island is the place for food prep. The breakfast bar is split, elevated at one end with illuminated cupboards for added kitchen storage. There is a built in microwave recess, dishwasher and large corner pantry.
An enormous laundry/scullery is accessed from the kitchen and also with access to the garage - functioning as an extension to the kitchen and is ideal for extra appliances. There’s a fully built in hairdressing basin - for a home business - this large space is a blank canvas and could be adapted to suit.
Three further, huge bedrooms are positioned in the rear wing. Bedroom 2 with both walk in and built in robe, bedroom 3 with built in and bedroom 4 with walk in robe. The family bathroom is simple, yet spacious with hand made Italian tiles, plain white walls, integral WC, bath, glass shower and single vanity.
//OUTSIDE
A long Mediterranean style Loggia terrace is finished with locally sourced rough hewn stone tiles, pillars and a Spanish/Moorish style water feature to create the holiday ambience. The place for long, lazy lunches!
The west facing garden is high set, graced with spectacular sunsets and is centred by a sparkling, Roman style pool, with the back drop of easy care, low maintenance shrubs, framed by a shady olive and a fig tree (producing an abundance of figs through summer). Lush, springy lawn allows plenty of play space for kids and fur babies. And how about the quaint, rustic mini house? Adding both a touch of whimsy and practicality to house the pool & garden equipment.
