Enveloped in beautiful botanic-style gardens with a signature oak tree and bursts of stunning cottage inspired plants, this exquisitely presented home delivers sophistication and modern luxury throughout its light-filled floorplan. It also boasts a most enchanting, detached cottage, ideal for a growing teenager or as atmospheric guest accommodation.
Retaining its original character, the comprehensively renovated home displays timber floors, colonial windows and French doors throughout, inviting the vibrancy of the gardens and their gorgeous winding paths into the interior spaces. A large living/dining room has been styled to perfection with a gas log heater and bespoke understairs integrated wine cellar, inviting relaxation and delight.
Cooking your favourite family recipes will be a pleasure in your highly functional, French country style kitchen, meticulously planned with a timber topped island bench/storage, soft-close cabinetry with brushed brass handles, including an inbuilt French dresser. It is serviced by double white Belfast enamel sinks, integrated dishwasher, appliance cupboard and state of the art Euromaid dual oven and warmer with 5-burner gas cooktop. This beautiful kitchen is enhanced by bevel-edged granite benchtops and flooded with light by dual skylights and a glowing pendant light.
Colonial glass doors and black and white leadlight windows create intimate light-bathed zones throughout the home. A central home office space with paneled walls provides for work/home/school needs. It is adjoined by a large family room with a second gas log fire and contemporary white timber fire mantle with lovely leadlight glass feature windows. This room has a defined library/reading space incorporated into the zone and is softened by a linear patterned feature wall.
The main home displays three bedrooms, all on their own levels. They comprise a child's room with quaint access to an attic style storage with garden vistas. A guest suite offers a stunning angled and paneled ceiling with built-in robes, beautiful views to the lush canopy of trees, and private balcony access.

A master bedroom sanctuary is featured at ground level with access outside through sparkling glass french doors to a private deck looking onto the tranquil garden. It enjoys exclusive access to an elegant ensuite indulging you with a clawfoot bath and tea/coffee making nook.
A separate self-contained storybook style cottage entices you from its tranquil corner of the garden. The interiors mirror a designer country homes catalogue with luxurious warm tones. Step inside to find the living space with a stone stacked feature wall and timber paneling, fully equipped kitchen/breakfast bar with gas cooking and pendant lighting. Adjoining is an industrial chic bathroom with bespoke stable style door. Taking the quaint stairs leads to one large space currently housing two single beds either side of the stairs - an ideal space for guests, when the grandkids visit, or when your children have sleep overs.
A large, tiered timber deck under the shade of the beautiful oak, and garden seating encourages quiet contemplation whilst enjoying the sounds of king parrots and kookaburras, alongside the babble of a water feature in your idyllic haven. This is the ideal place to host large BBQs and every style of event, enhanced with a tranquil and private backdrop. Stepping out through the back gate of the property you are led directly into the adjoining Herman Pump Reserve - a native habitat perfect for daily exercise or children's recreation and exploring activities.
