The family have flown the nest, so this lovely couple are moving on and leaving behind this unique four bed plus study family home, privately nestled on a rare 1,500sqm block with deep water jetty. This piece of natures wonderland has only had two owners in 34 years! A completely unique property, there are plenty of flexible living spaces both inside and out that you can make your own, none of which can be truly appreciated without experiencing it for yourself.
Feel yourself relax as you arrive home into another world, a retreat embraced by rainforest and cottage garden. Living is designed around two intangible elements rainforest and natural light, with the home designed for the flexibility and practicality family life requires.
Home Features include:
Four queen-size bedrooms plus study (3 bedrooms upstairs), and 1 bedroom plus study downstairs, (a great teenage retreat or guest room).
Two bathrooms: 1 upstairs, one down (upstairs bathroom with spa bath).
Lounge and dining rooms
Large family kitchen that inspires creativity, with a double oven, 900mm ceramic cooktop (so you can spread out while cooking a feast), dishwasher, and the huge sink out-looking the tranquil backyard scenery. The kitchen room is spacious enough for a second dining table so you can really spread out your mess or enjoy company as you cook.
Huge multipurpose room off kitchen: Practical built-in cabinets ideally set up for home-office space, a deluxe sewing room, (or a great spot for the kids to do computer work where you can keep an eye on them).
Double garage with internal house access (decked out with extra power points and computer cables if you need a work-from home office).
Air-conditioning, fans, security screens and doors.
From the kitchen, down the manicured path, then to outdoor living overlooking the river, entertaining is a breeze, seamlessly merging between the house and water. Dappled sunlight covers the outdoor three level deck, (a safe haven for native birds and flora), you will love to watch the sun setting behind the river as you bbq with your family and friends or dance the night away. Outdoor living is encased by snowflakes, petunias, grevilleas and more a gardeners dream!
There is even a separate studio a stones throw from the house, an ideal setup for artists or musicians who will love the inspiration this property will bring. This could also serve as excellent storage area or sleep-out for guests.
Everything has been well planned and considered, with an aim to make the property comfortable, private, self-maintaining and easy to care for. A careful balance has been created: eg. The home has air-conditioning and fans, then 7 solar panels. There are lots of gardens, vegies and flowers, then a 10,000L water tank and a careful selection of self-maintaining/mulching local plant varieties (see detailed list below). It even has the ultimate side access, complete with a well-drained concrete ramp all the way into the water for easy boat access.
