As you turn into the driveway of this impressive
double storey residence set way back on the highest point of 1 acre garden
you will want to stop and take in the delightful Alpine style that sets this
home apart from its neighbours. Exceptionally well ordered green lawns and
shrubs accented by borders of agapanthus and many colourful shrubs suggest
a well established and impeccably maintained property.
The centre piece of the home is a well planned Tasmanian Oak and black granite
kitchen lightened by a white tiled floor that opens out into the family room.
For those people who still enjoy the more formal side of living there is also
a separate lounge and formal dining room. Much thought has gone into both the
layout and finishing of the home with 3 bathrooms, including main bathroom
with claw foot bath and a generously sized and well equipped laundry. Three
huge bedrooms, including the master bedroom with walk-in robe ensuite and private
north facing balcony, are on the upper level while the 4th bedroom is on the
lower level.
The entry foyer features a high raked ceiling and ornate cornices add detail
and interest to the predominantly warm neutral simplicity of the interior decor.
White timber shutter blinds are featured throughout the home and splashes of
colour, including a buttercup yellow child’s bedroom, add interest to
the decor. There has clearly been a woman’s touch at work here to allow
for all that extra storage space that men rarely think to incorporate, like
a gigantic broom cupboard and large linen press as well as a pantry in the
kitchen and built-ins in all bedrooms.
The double garage under the eastern end of the house is fully lined and equipped
with electronic doors. It is also equipped with 2-way light switching for when
you come home after dark. You will also notice in the photos that the driveway
leads past the side of the house to a large double garage with workshop and
hobby space / overflow guest accommodation concealed in the rear garden.
You could not help but be impressed by this excellent family residence designed
to accommodate a big, happy family with two tiled and covered outdoor living
and garden space where growing youngsters and can chase and play in a fully
fenced environment. Nothing has been forgotten or overlooked from the brick
entry gateway to the rear fence. You could not find a better quality or more
beautifully presented property than this fine Bateke Road residence.
