The Homestead:

Architect Designed and steeped in a rich sense of history and retro in style, the expansive and bespoke residence is nestled amongst established gardens. Soaring raked ceilings with thatch, slate and sealed brick flooring, bagged wall finishes and the extensive use of exposed timber beams create a home of warmth and a delightfully rustic charm. Massive floor to ceiling windows throughout the home flood the home with light and showcase the pretty views out over the grounds and the pool to great effect. 

The Homestead offers a flexible floor plan with up to 5 bedrooms including a master suite with a huge dressing room or sitting room and an ensuite bathroom with sunken bathtub. All the other bedrooms are over-sized and there is masses of storage. The minor bedrooms are served by a family bathroom and there is also additional shower and toilet facilities in the mud room which adjoins the laundry. 

This is a residence for those that love to entertain and one can imagine the fancy dinner parties and gatherings that would have taken place in these grand spaces in years gone by. There are multiple living rooms including a huge games room, a bar room with a built- in bar and dining area, plus a separate study or 6th bedroom. The lounge room has a massive ten-foot feature stone fireplace which forms a beautiful focal point for this large room and keeps the entire home cosy and warm in the cooler months. Split system air conditioners throughout the home take care of the summer heat but are rarely required as the home has been designed to take advantage of natural ventilation. 

The kitchen is situated toward the front of the home and is adjoining yet another living space. It is complete with timber cupboards, a walk-in pantry, electric cook-top and dishwasher. It enjoys a lovely outlook over the front lawn, gardens and stunning views beyond.
