Impressively well built in 2006, the home has been designed to mimic those older character homes that Westbury offers with all the conveniences of a modern build and quality materials (hardwood framing, high ceilings, double glazed windows, solar hot water, 3kw solar system, etc).
A traditional, very functional design features stunning Blackwood floors that run the length of the central hallway and through to the generous, open plan living area at the rear to the large deck and into the backyard. Amply sized, the living area of the home is big enough for the largest of family gatherings and offers formal and informal sitting areas within the space and gorgeous (sometimes snowy) mountain views. The larger-than-normal bedrooms are located towards the front of the home and offer wool carpets, built in robes and lots of natural light.
A beautifully styled bathroom and ensuite are both practical and luxurious additions with generous sizing, underfloor heating and a free standing bath. Another practical addition is the laundry/mud room allowing the opportunity to come inside and take off wet boots without letting the cool winter air into the main part of the home. Large linen closets and an abundance of natural light throughout are testament to the care and attention these owners took when designing their home.
The indoors merge with the outdoors through the warmer months when the timber bi-fold doors open up the living area to spill out onto the large Merbau deck that wraps around the rear of the home. The owners have conveniently installed outdoor power and feature lighting into the deck for those lunchtime BBQs with friends that stretch into evenings around the outdoor fire pit.
Enough distance from your neighbours to ensure privacy, but close enough to not feel secluded, the home is situated at the front of the 5 acre allotment. The block is able to be sub divided subject to council approval if desired. Separate areas for livestock have been established with secure fencing and a dam (with power and pump) is located at the Eastern end of the property. There is a fenced orchard with fruit trees, vegetable gardens, a small hot house and a garden shed. There are three rain water tanks, a cottage garden filled with strawberries and flowers at the front of the home and a large 2 car garage with workshop space at the rear.
