Rendered exterior, cool, shaded courtyard, earthy floor tiles, timber beams and flooring, north facing windows left bare to take advantage of unfiltered natural light, fireplace with clay pot chimneys – this home has aspects of Tuscan style architecture that is cherished for its authenticity and spirit.
The cast iron gates deliver you to an entry courtyard supported and framed by impressive aged timber beams. With a high central beam running throughout the home, the soaring ceilings are raked which provides a sense of space and proportion to the rooms. There is extensive use of beautiful imported oak barrel parquetry floors and large sliding timber doors bring in the perfect Northerly aspect and absolutely stunning views all along the front verandah.
The internal floor space of the residence is over 400sqm – there are four over-sized bedrooms, the huge master suite features a walk-in wardrobe as well as a large ensuite with bath. The remaining three bedrooms all have built-in or walk in wardrobes. French doors access the outside and bedroom four also has a Juliet balcony another common Mediterranean feature.
The open plan design delivers a massive space, comprising a lounge with an open fire place, dining and kitchen which all share the north facing aspect. The solid timber kitchen has marble bench tops and modern appliances while the separate rumpus room opens to an inviting deck capturing the glorious outlook. There are five split system air-conditioning units throughout the home and there is a 6kw solar system on the roof to keep power bills low.
The property also features separate guest accommodation! The cute cottage also has an exposed raked ceiling and offers an open plan feel with a modern ensuite and sitting area. The cottage also comes equipped with its own pergola area and driveway entry, making it the perfect guest stay or teenagers retreat.
