Description
Step into a world of enchanting charm and boundless potential with this original condition home, nestled in the heart of nature's grandeur in one of the most private and exclusive settings in the hills. Built in the 1930s and extended in the 70s, this unique property is framed by national park with not a neighbour in sight. A charming blend of history, character and stunning gardens blooming with hills classics is waiting to be discovered by those with an adventurous spirit and a vision for transformation.
The house sits majestically on a sprawling 3918m2 allotment, offering an abundance of space for you to explore and create your own personal haven amongst the forest. The split-level design, exposed beams and picture windows add an intriguing architectural element, while the multiple living zones provide ample room for relaxation, entertainment and flexibility depending on your family’s needs. Picture yourself curled up by the wood fire in the lounge/dining area on a chilly evening or letting the kids turn up the volume in the living room and rumpus.
An east-facing aspect ensures that you'll wake up to glorious morning light filtering through the windows, and morning coffee in the sun-bathed dining nook will surely become your morning ritual. Grand and rambling, the floorplan is incredibly flexible, ripe for a re-do and ready to be moulded into your dream home. Whether you wish to preserve its vintage charm or infuse it with modern elegance, the possibilities are as vast as your imagination.
Adding to its allure is a separate studio, complete with a pot belly stove and sink equipped with hot water tap. This cosy retreat could serve as a third bedroom, guest house, artist's studio or even a tranquil home office. Hugging the home are stunning gardens adorned with hills classics such as tree ferns, a bush rose, camelias, azaleas and rhododendrons. These lush surroundings create an atmosphere of serene seclusion, further enhanced by the property's location - it's the only house in the street!
Surrounded by state forest, this home offers gate access to walking tracks for those who love to explore. The area teems with birdlife including kookaburras, adding a delightful soundtrack to your daily life.
As the seasons change, you'll be treated to a bounty of fresh produce from your very own raspberry plantation, just in time for Christmas. Lemon and cumquat trees also dot the property, offering a sweet and tangy treat throughout the year.
