The winding, tree-lined drive opens onto a feast of timber in this secluded four bedroom home. Attached, but completely self-contained, is a one-bedroom flat. Western red cedar and cypress pine predominate in the main house; the flat is steel-framed.
The huge open-plan lounge and kitchen area has lofty ceilings lined with huge beams that are almost impossible to source in today’s building materials. The area is overlooked by a quiet mezzanine study area; or in the study on the verandah the king parrots will sit on the windowsill and watch you type. For ten years this home has hosted memorable week-long Christmas celebrations by an extended family of 18 adults and children – all without stress; the private gardens have hosted a wedding, bonfire nights, treasure hunts and endless games of hide-and-seek.
The one-acre-plus gardens are a blaze of colourful shrubbery through the year’s seasons; mature wisteria festoons the house-frontage through Spring. The block is fully fenced, but the gates are never shut, creating a refuge for wildlife that includes wallabies, possums, king parrots, bower birds, and the magical host of fireflies that roam the gardens on September evenings.
Food trees include orange, mandarin, lemon, lime, grapefruit, pecan nut, macadamia, peach, nectarine, banana – grapes can be picked from the rear deck. The spacious former aviary has been a chook house for several years.
A reluctant but necessary sale. An inspection is a must to appreciate this fantastic property. Call today to arrange an inspection.
