An enhanced Federation sandstone cottage (c1920) forms the foundation for this unique farmhouse-style home, set on just under 1000sqm of gated gardens in one of Forestville's most secluded locations. Quarry Heath' manages to achieve the perfect balance of bygone country charm and modern-day family living, with spacious interiors enriched by locally quarried sandstone, beautiful timberwork, vaulted ceilings and tasteful contemporary additions.
A return verandah perfectly frames the open plan living space, wrapped in windows capturing abundant natural light and warmed by a grand sandstone fireplace, while accommodation comprises up to four bedrooms including a generous master with walk-in robe area and private balcony. The floorplan offers superb flexibility, with the option of a home office featuring separate entry plus a media retreat and large cellar/tasting room or rumpus.
Families will appreciate the modernised kitchen, with its beautiful marble benchtops, stainless steel appliances, gas fittings and delightful breakfast room, and there are two family bathrooms, upstairs including spa bath, and a separate laundry. Floor-ducted r/c air conditioning, quality hardwood floors, an alarm system and prolific storage (including a meshed pet nook under the stairs) are among the other features of this exceptional home.
Embraced by landscaped, low maintenance gardens secured behind a motorised gate with intercom, the surroundings are designed to cater to a lifestyle of entertaining. Directly leading from the verandah is a covered barbecue terrace and level lawn area, along with cobbled pathways, a welcoming lagoon swimming pool and elevated solid wood cabana where you can watch the kids at play or kick back and take in leafy district views to the Chatswood skyline. Situated to the rear is a deluxe four-car garage featuring a workbench and mezzanine storage plus veggie gardens and a handy outdoor shower.
A "hidden" sanctuary the whole family will come to treasure as their own, this one-of-a-kind property is unlike anything else in the region and offers an idyllic lifestyle in peace and privacy, yet remains easily accessible to shops, cafes, scenic parklands, sporting fields, sought-after schools and transport. Quarry Heath' - a true oasis in the perfect location.
