This extraordinary King Creek residence is far more than a home. Personally designed and built by the current owners, it is the result of vision, passion and craftsmanship with an unwavering commitment to quality, longevity and Australian materials. Every detail has been thoughtfully considered, creating a timeless country sanctuary that has been lovingly held and cherished for almost three decades.
Beyond the gated entry, a circular driveway winds through established grounds framed by colonial style timber fencing, immediately setting a tone of privacy on arrival. The raised, wrap around merbau veranda, edged with blooming rose bushes and overlooking lush, bushland surrounds invites you to slow down and appreciate the serenity that defines this special setting.
Inspired by classic colonial, federation design the home showcases an exceptional use of Australian timbers throughout. Spotted gum hardwood flooring flows across the residence, complemented by oak staircases and ceiling features, jarrah door and window frames, custom timber shutter doors and traditional, Australian colonial brass bell switches, creating a cohesive and beautifully warm aesthetic.
The front entry is nothing short of breathtaking. A grand foyer welcomes you with soaring ceilings, a dramatic void and raked timber roofline, anchored by an elegant black chandelier and a striking oak staircase that immediately convey the scale and quality of the home.
The heart of the residence unfolds in a generous open plan living, dining and kitchen zone where family life and entertaining come together effortlessly. Timber lined ceilings, a large Australian made Eureka fireplace with feature brick surround and custom double hung windows with jarrah shutters create a warm and inviting atmosphere while capturing leafy bush outlooks and cooling breezes.
The dining area opens via French doors onto the rear section of the wrap around veranda, overlooking the manicured grounds, sparkling swimming pool and firepit area beyond. This seamless connection between indoors and outdoors has been thoughtfully designed to celebrate the landscape and encourage year round entertaining.
The kitchen is both substantial and timeless, featuring Tassie oak cabinetry, an island bench with breakfast seating, a walk in pantry, generous fridge space and quality appliances including an LG dishwasher and Westinghouse cooking appliances. Positioned to overlook the pool area, it enjoys a peaceful outlook whilst remaining central to daily living.
Privately positioned at the front of the home, the master suite is a true retreat. King sized and beautifully proportioned, it features French doors opening onto the veranda, a large walk in wardrobe and a beautifully, renovated ensuite completed within the last two years with brushed gold tapware, feature tiling, frameless shower screens and a stone topped vanity.
A second living room provides an additional retreat, whilst a flexible fourth bedroom or home office offers generous proportions, a built in robe and peaceful bush views.
Upstairs, architectural drama and space continue with an open hallway overlooking the foyer below. Two exceptional, loft style bedrooms sit either side of the main bathroom, each offering soaring timber ceilings, treelined views and space for king sized beds along with additional sitting or study areas. Extensive built in storage adds further practicality.
The centrally located, three way main bathroom has been renovated and features a stone topped vanity, frameless shower, deep bath, farmhouse style tapware, built in storage and a separate WC.
Encircling the home, the fully covered, wrap around veranda has been designed for year round enjoyment. The rear entertaining section features an insulated, timber lined ceiling with LED lighting whilst exposed beams, classic tin roofing, a ceiling fan, power points and a timber BBQ bench enhance functionality. Colonial brickwork and lantern wall lights create a warm ambience after dusk.
Beyond the veranda, the outdoor lifestyle continues with a private, fenced swimming pool, shaded seating areas and a dedicated firepit zone complete with solid timber bench seating, ideal for relaxed summer days and evenings under the stars.
Practical spaces have been thoughtfully positioned, including an oversized laundry with extensive cabinetry, farmhouse style taps, double linen storage, a linen chute from upstairs and direct outdoor access. Beneath the staircase, a large storage room houses a hot water system replaced approximately twelve months ago.
Vehicle accommodation and shedding are exceptional with a double garage and expansive workshop including a sink, cabinetry, ceiling fan and a bonus bathroom with shower, vanity and toilet. An adjoining carport, large garden shed and a freestanding, extra high clearance double carport with insulated roof, whirly bird ventilation and power provide space for caravans, boats and additional vehicles. In total, the property comfortably accommodates up to six vehicles.
The home is supported by a conventional septic system, recently checked and Council approved. Openable fly screens throughout have been designed to harness natural airflow and cooling breezes from the direction of North Brother Mountain.
Rarely does a residence of this calibre, history and heart present itself. This is a truly special opportunity to secure a meticulously crafted, country home built with intention and now ready to welcome its next chapter.
