Hidden behind electronic gates and tree-lined drive with dappled shade, you will be greeted by an historic home built in 1947 by John Fitzhardinge of Forbes and Fitzhardinge.
Tasteful, modern luxury is combined with the elegance of tradition to create a spacious and functional family home.
In 1991 Alan Davies, a well known architect, was commissioned to completely renovate and extend the existing home, blending the old with the new, incorporating stone and timber features.
A totally new wing was established. This encompassed an entry and dining room, a family room, 3 generous sized bedrooms, laundry and bathroom.
The modern, open-plan kitchen blends timber and granite with plenty of storage for effortless entertaining.
Adjacent to the kitchen is a dining room that has expansive windows which allows flowing light and fabulous views of the garden.
The separate lounge room features a traditional fireplace and large glass doors that open out to a large patio which is covered with a magnificent wisteria.
In 2012, Ivan Pavlovic, a modern style designer, undertook to convert the original part of the house into a large master bedroom, dressing room with ample storage, a study and a luxe travertine ensuite that has a deep bath, shower, vanity and separate toilet.
The bedroom has an expansive view of the swimming pool and gardens.
Externally, the home is surrounded by established and functional gardens on a 3852sq.m block (nearly one acre). The delightful garden was designed by Alan Woodward.
In addition, the property has a separate studio well away from the home, which would be ideal for artistic pursuits or a teenage retreat.
The property also has carports for 3 cars and a good sized powered workshop which is insulated and has an original stone feature wall.
To top it off, the home has a natural free-form concrete pool that is surrounded by lush greenery. This is a perfect oasis in which to relax and unwind.
