A serene retreat set on 3.1 tranquil acres, this magnificent residence reveals a delightful sense of character within its expansive floorplan, where light, space and warmth create focus, and effortless practicality make everyday living a dream. Clearly a labour of love for its original cabinet-maker owner, the unique home accents native timbers with a refined colour palette, creating a gorgeous sense of sanctuary that is perfectly in balance with its natural surrounds. Featuring cathedral ceilings and a wall of windows framing a lush northerly outlook, the central open-plan and hand-crafted kitchen act as the home's hub, spilling out seamlessly onto fabulous outdoor entertaining overlooking the resort-style pool. Further flexible living is offered within the beautifully lit lounge room at one side, while five generous bedrooms and an office deliver superb versatility, perfect for the modern family. Luxuriously inviting, both the ensuite and main bathroom are exquisitely presented, while the oversized workshop and extensive garage space is sure to be appreciated by the tradie or hobbyist. With kangaroos bounding across the backyard and the sweet sound of birdsong in the air, the property feels like it is worlds away from everything.
