Description
Built circa 1956, this inspiring home is tucked in a stunning pocket of Olinda, a joyous amble from the café culture and boutique shopping of the village. The home is a symphony of Mid Century design highlighted by its ceiling-skimming windows that connect you to its magical surrounds and gaze over everchanging garden hues.
A sunroom style entrance basks in northerly sun and connects with the meals zone and a modern kitchen complete with induction cooktop, Smeg dishwasher and electric oven. Wonderfully cool in summer and cosy in winter thanks to the ambience of the gas log fire in the parquetry-floored lounge, you’ll relish the peace and quiet immersed among the landscape.
A family bathroom flaunts a contemporary re-do and is in touch with a trio of calming carpeted bedrooms, all with garden framing panes; the master at the end of the hall revealing a feature wall and plentiful built-ins. Children will adore the dedicated playroom with superbly squishy sensory flooring with a Tin Tin mural adding a whimsical touch, and there’s a breezeway just beckoning to become a home office hub.
A private, self-contained studio styled with a modern industrial flair provides a flexible living space perfect for a teenager's retreat, guest accommodation or a source of income as short term accommodation with separate entry, parking and its own wrap balcony. Inside you will find a fully functional kitchenette and living area, spacious bedroom zone with a Murphy Bed, and a modern bathroom. The perfect escape.
Framed by beautifully nurtured gardens awash with a kaleidoscope of azaleas, rhododendron, ferns and Japanese maples - there’s always something in bloom. Tiered cottage style garden near the studio with purple and yellow influences frame a courtyard and a private area perfect for a firepit or alfresco dining.
