What's around 28 Durham Rd

Grand Colonial Masterpiece

'La Belle Vie' is a superb interpretation of a colonial manor house, positioned perfectly amongst 2.17Ha of beautifully maintained and manicured gardens with a peaceful rural outlook, on the edge of town. Automatic wrought iron gates open to the meandering driveway flanked by well-established Manchurian Pear trees, past the dam with feature fountain to a circular drive at the entrance of the home. A paved walkway through parterre gardens leads to the stately entrance verandah. With three sets of triple pane French doors with highlights, the main entry door opens to the foyer and Great Room, both with 130mm wide timber floor boards and 10 to 15ft cathedral square set ceilings. A grand fireplace with chunky recycled hardwood mantelpiece is flanked by north facing French doors that fill the room with warmth and light and lead to the sunroom which opens directly to the elevated sandstone patio. The open plan kitchen/dining has large double hung timber windows and triple pane French doors to the eastern verandah and western sandstone patio. Highlights and four pane glass side lights fill the room with light. The kitchen features a 900mm wide stainless steel Ilvie gas oven with a 5 burner cook top fitted with thick trivets set in a classic masonry chimney. A large central island bench houses a ceramic inset sink and timber panelled cupboards. The expansive butler's pantry/prep kitchen includes a double SS sink, extensive timber storage and leads to the wine cellar capable of holding 2,400 bottles. A spacious media room has decorated cornices and double hung timber windows connecting through double timber internal doors to a marvellous study featuring a wall of cupboards and bookshelves. A small powder room with vanity and toilet in colonial style ceramic basins and a small marble bench top lies adjacent. The master bedroom is filled with natural light through twin north facing double hung windows and boasts a large walk in dressing room and ensuite featuring double vanity with French colonial style taps, shower, toilet, heated towel rail and under floor heating. 3 additional bedrooms are all king sized with triple built in robes and all feature high ceilings with ceiling fans and cornices which are complimented by tall timber windows. The main bathroom is split between three rooms, with long double timber vanity with tiled top and ceramic basin. A separate toilet and a spacious shower and bath room has delightful views over the garden. A massive laundry/mudroom features white colonial style overhead and under bench storage, double sinks and copious amounts of bench space. The mudroom opens to a wide covered veranda with wood storage. The long hallway that connects these rooms has high ceilings and features a lockable triple linen cupboard. Set apart from the manor lies the barn style triple garage and guest accommodation with a large L shaped open plan kitchen/dining and living room that features painted concrete block walls, a simple laminate kitchen and slow combustion log fireplace. At the end of the living room there is a good sized bathroom with separate shower vanity and toilet. Upstairs the attic style rooms with dormer windows are spacious and can accommodate up to 10. The mature, professionally designed gardens feature separate "rooms" divided by established hedges including a formal rose garden, outdoor dining area with BBQ and pizza oven patio. This beautiful garden also features perennial plantings, rambling banksia roses on the verandahs, prunus underplanted with bearded iris, numerous bulb garden beds in the paddocks and huge areas of lawn, a raised vegetable garden and a huge wisteria covered al fresco 'corridor' is perfect for long lazy lunches. Park like grounds extend with magnificent established specimens of cool climate trees and good fencing. Zoned R5 large lot residential, development opportunities are STCA
