| It is difficult to find words
that can best convey the beauty, quality & excellence in this custom built 4 year
old American Federation style home tucked behind a long established garden in Central
Avenue, OLD Eagle Heights. The block had been originally part of a much larger garden
belonging to very old home and so came with privacy from well established trees and shrubs
including many grand old camellias.
The home was designed for a mature couple who love gracious
living and entertaining as well as welcoming visitors to
their hearth. The gentleman has spent his life in the electrical
industry and was able to bring many 21st century innovative
electrical features into the design. How would you like
to be in Tasmania and be able to phone in and switch on
your ducted central air conditioning before boarding your
plane to come home?
The owners chose highly respected local builders Mark & David
Harding-Smith to construct the home and were present throughout
the building process to ensure their required standard
of perfection was achieved. Only the best of everything
was used in the construction and no expense was spared!
Once the home was completed, the final magic touches of
that American Federation decor were added. Then the gardens
were completed using as much of the original grounds will
introducing many other new aspects including paved pathways
and hidden patios as well as tropical low level garden
beds to replace lawn and make for easy maintenance.
The
now perfect home and garden includes the following features
(by no means an exhaustive list!). Starting at the ground
floor we see:
