For those folk who, like Banjo Patterson in his famous poem more than a century ago, have tired of the “foetid air and gritty of the dusty dirty city”, this beautiful family home, inspired by traditional Australian architecture, is a balm for the soul. Sporting a delightful sounding address, the property is nestled more than comfortably amongst its prestigious neighbours on this elevated two-acre block. But best of all, it comes with a rare and free gift – it backs directly onto Hammock Hill Reserve – a beautiful 20 acres (approx.) of natural woodland with walking tracks.
With a rambling cottage garden and plenty of deciduous trees to provide the splendid Autumnal colour that Bowral is famous for (elms, claret ash, weeping cherry, Japanese maple), the garden has something for everyone. A modern take on the old Australian homestead, built with quality finishes, and just a five minute drive to town, this home features:
• Lovely use of timber – verandahs and cedar windows
• Bagged double brick with Colorbond roof; well insulated
• 4 large bedrooms with built-ins, main with ensuite and walk-in robe at own end of house
• Possible 5th bedroom or huge study/music/rumpus room
• Polished timber floors
• Recently renovated open-plan timber country-style kitchen with marble bench tops
• Kitchen adjoins large casual dining and casual living rooms
• Sunny, paved and covered north-facing outdoor entertaining area flows from main living/kitchen through French doors
• Second covered entertaining area at rear of house
• Separate, spacious formal living room
• Ducted gas central heating throughout; ceiling fans
• Huge laundry with direct access to oversize double garage with work space at rear
• A further large enclosed workshop room attached at rear of garage (could be converted)
• Large (double garage sized) garden shed
• Fully fenced, vegie patch, chook pen

• Lovely main bathroom with bath and a toilet separate
