Architecturally designed and built in 1965 for its current owner, this home was ahead of its time. Now, although a fascinating & pristine architectural time-capsule, it would respond beautifully to sympathetic modernization.
The home is large and long in the traditional Californian Ranch style. It has 9 main rooms plus various attached smaller utility rooms.
It is also designed so that it can be used if needed by an extended family (or 2 families) with each family group having a fully self-contained yet adjoining section.
As a whole however the home offers:
4 Bedrooms plus study (or 5th bedroom)
2 Large living areas (1 at each end of the home)
2 Kitchens
3 Bathrooms
2 distinct entrance foyers
Double carport and vine-covered outdoor living area
Mains water, dam and rainwater modules
3 Combustion heaters
Importantly the home features a wide spectrum of windows, some floor to ceiling, allowing these rooms to take advantage of winter solar heating, plus provide fabulous views across the extensive grounds.
The land immediately surrounding the home and driveways is park-like being generally flat with sweeping lawns and a stunning array of mature deciduous frees.
To the north the land rises and this steeper section is covered with native forest and bush land, providing a beautiful Australian backdrop to the property with a hint of adventure for bushwalkers and birdwatchers.
Located in a quiet street amongst other fine semi-rural style properties, it offers an opportunity to create a unique country lifestyle and yet be only 20 minutes from the city.
