Securely walled and surrounded by established greenery, this delightfully unique property combines the tranquility of a secluded sanctuary with the privilege of an elite address. Behind the discreet gated entrance, an extraordinary sense of privacy unfolds. Here, an enchanting bridge over the fish pond guides you into meticulously curated interiors where high end finishes create a cocoon of quiet luxury.
Formerly stables in the early 1840s belonging to Woodside Cottage, the expansive two level home was designed by architect David Ey. Showcasing a striking sculptural facade with a blend of the original stone with rendered walls, this remarkable two bedroom (could easily be three), two bathroom, dual living zoned residence was built in 1994 on 565sq.m (approx.) of prime land.
Luminous spaces unfold with contemporary elegance in the formal living and dining domain, where a natural palette of Tasmanian Oak flooring and white bagged walls bring together rustic style, comfort and function, while soaring curved ceilings, recessed lighting and expansive glazing create a sublime interplay of light and scale. Superbly oriented to draw in abundant Northern light, three sets of French doors open to extend the living onto a sun-drenched deck overlooking the charming central garden set around a peaceful pond! a blissful setting for relaxed indoor outdoor living.
Timeless granite benchtops enhance the stylish open plan kitchen with extensive island bench, Bosch dishwasher, oven and abundant custom cabinetry; while the equally impressive adjacent casual living and dining zone features two sets of French doors flowing into the central garden on one side and to the undercover terrace on the Western side, a haven for al fresco enjoyment.
The guest bedroom on the lower level is generously proportioned, includes a desk area, is accessed by either the entry foyer or casual living area and positioned alongside the primary fully tiled monochrome bathroom with marble topped vanity, large shower and W.C.
The timber staircase winds up to a designated study/home office area with built-in desks and a custom built cupboard revealing a kitchenette alcove with sink.
The beautifully considered main suite features luminous clerestory windows set high within a soaring ceiling and doors opening onto a Juliette balcony.
