Like
the Duchess of Cornwall, this well built and recently rendered brick and tile
home has been transformed from a dowdy and dated country gal into a very elegant
and stylish 21st century Duchess. This thoroughly sophisticated and air conditioned
home sits on a beautiful over ¾ acre fenced block with many superb mature
trees in the landscaped back garden. A solid front hedge of white flowering
May shrubs makes a real springtime statement. The side driveway leads down to
a back garden replete with a fully self-contained and air conditioned 1 bedroom
cabin as well as a single lock-up garage & large shed.
This 2 level home with polished timber floors on the upper level consists of
an open plan family living & dining, all new kitchen with granite bench
tops & stainless steel appliances as well as big 2 bedrooms, study and luxurious
new ensuite and main bathroom plus separate toilet on the upper level. The
living opens out through wide glass ranch sliders to a large open deck overlooking
the property. The master bedroom with its own private deck, ensuite and walk-in
robe is extra large with ample space for a lovely private sitting area.
Internal
stairs lead down to the spacious lounge / rumpus / media room with tiled floor
and kitchenette / bar area adjoining a big covered patio for outdoor living.
Two more well sized bedrooms, an additional ensuite style bathroom and another
separate toilet are located on this level. The laundry with a huge walk-in
linen press is also located on this level while the under stairs area has been
enclosed for extra storage.
The private air conditioned 1 bedroom cottage in the back garden has been wonderfully
updated for comfortable living. Polished timber floors are also featured in
the cottage and it boasts an all new front verandah. The modern metal lock-up
garage and the big old shed behind it are located close to the cottage. There
is also a hard stand for 2 more vehicles in the back yard that could easily
be transformed to be a double garage or carport.
An amazing amount of landscaping has changed the once overgrown & overrun
garden into quite a beautiful setting that affords lovely vistas into the trees
from spots like the kitchen window, family living and the big deck.
This very stylish Duchess is now a perfect family home with some 24 squares
of space and that special country feel that comes with its location backing
onto farming land where cattle quietly graze. About the only things left from
its previous existence is the original external walls and the lovely golden
polished timber floors on the upper level.
Come see a home that is better than new in a spot that has that speaks of quiet
country living without all the hassles of more acreage to maintain.
