There's plenty of comfortable living space with potential to convert the upper level retreat/study into a 3rd bedroom.
A warm and inviting heartfelt home with an abundance of rustic style and plenty of resourceful earthy aesthetics. A clever creation built from a combination of mud and re-cycled brick together with exposed roughly hewn re-cycled timbers that provide a rich patina of coffee and deep chocolate shades throughout.
Artistic elements include a Juliette balcony which is accessed through French doors, high soaring ceilings, walls of exposed re-cycled and rendered brick, a colourful confection of leadlight windows and timber floorboards.
A flexible floor plan currently comprising of a formal entrance hall, 3 living areas (including an upper level retreat/study or potential 3rd bedroom), a timber country kitchen overlooking the adjacent dining room with its’ petite colonial windows, a main bathroom on the lower level and an upper level powder room. Just a few steps lead from the master bedroom to the adjacent dressing room which together create a roomy split level master suite on level 2.
The quaint separate Artists Studio and laundry has an underground storage room and or wine cellar and is conveniently located next to the carport.
Other features include a solid staircase with a timber and wrought iron balustrade connecting both levels, smart recently laid charcoal carpet in the lounge room, a reverse cycle air-conditioner and a toasty Nectre combustion heater.
At the rear you will find an elevated and covered alfresco outdoor entertaining deck with a scenic view across the garden and adjacent tree-lined creek setting.
The well-established cottage garden is peppered with a diverse variety of plants and flowers including fragrant roses, a Japanese Maple, fig tree, scented lavender, a twisted vine in addition to some natives. Playful mosaic pathways wind their way through the flourishing garden which is frequented by an abundance of native birdlife.
The property is connected to the mains water supply and also has a rainwater tank.
A rear gate provides easy access to the walking track which follows a former railway line which is no longer in use.
The home is nestled on a fully fenced approximate 528sqm easy care block with a bitumen driveway and additional secure on-site car-parking behind a private fence at the front.
