Originally part of the beautiful Burnham Beeches Estate, this character-rich home is timeless in its appeal and elegant within its surroundings.
The home features multiple living zones complemented by alfresco spaces that are exquisitely enveloped by 1.5 flat acres of Alfred Nicholas inspired gardens adding to the magical appeal. A traditional bullnose verandah makes a period statement, and the allure continues with ceiling roses, hardwood floors, leadlight and picture windows throughout, framing glorious garden vistas.
A classic French door entrance opens into an endearing library space where fireside reading will become a rainy day favourite.
The fully equipped kitchen with bright garden window is contemporised by the timber-topped island bench with breakfast bar, stainless-steel cooking and Bosch dishwasher.
A grand dining room steps back in time to when meals were served with the finest of the silverware whilst a lounge is warmed by an open fire and framed by bay picture windows with plenty of space for the roomiest of sofas.
The master bedroom features an ensuite and walk-in robe whilst three additional bedrooms plus study are housed in a rear wing along with a step-down living/rumpus that spills to the lavish deck. A sublime family bathroom recently renovated, showcases floor to ceiling tiles, a deluxe rain shower and a reimagined leadlight feature window showcasing the home’s name listed on the title – “Bulimba”.
Ducted heating and evaporative cooling take care of all the seasons, however there are also three wood fires to create warmth and ambience.
The gardens are breathtaking and wondrous from magical mist before the sun appears to moss pathways, towering tree ferns and a rare ginkgo tree. Enchanting canopies lead to open “garden rooms” where backyard cricket beckons or where you can picnic in privacy or host a modern-day soiree. Summer memories will be made in the picket-fence framed inground pool and there’s a rear deck for alfresco dining and a gazebo out the front.
